From the UK Daily Express:
Did scientists just pick up the first intelligent radio waves from a distant ALIEN planet?
The "fast radio bursts" included one "double signal" never heard before and have left astronomers buzzing with excitement over the possibility of it being a message with alien origins.
Only 11 of the unidentified transient radio pulses have been recorded before around the world.
And it is the curious new double blast - which was accompanied by four "singles" - which has baffled astronomers analysing data from the Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia.
Emily Petroff from Swinburne University, in Melbourne, one of the team who discovered the signals, believes the origin could be more remarkable than anything recorded before.
She tweeted: "We have no idea what's going on, but we know it's definitely something cool.”
The abstract of her report can be found at the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
We cannot be the only ones out there...
