Fast Radio Bursts Could Be Evidence Of Interstellar Spaceships, Scientists Suggest

Fast radio bursts are among the most mysterious phenomena in the universe and have baffled astronomers for years.

Now, researchers at Harvard have suggested the ultra-bright bursts could be evidence of interstellar spaceships in distant galaxies.

If that sounds too absurd to be true, bear with us; there’s method in the madness.

Despite a decade of research, scientists have been unable to identify a natural source for the beams, which are unusually bright given their distant origin and short duration. They travel billions of light-years and last for a millisecond.

Avi Loeb, a theorist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, says an artificial origin is “worth contemplating and checking”.
