China's giant alien-hunting telescope detects 'mysterious signals'

Quote:
China's giant alien-hunting telescope has received more than 100 'mysterious signals' from a source three billion light years away.

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) captured the Fast Radio Bursts - small pulses of radio signals that originate from deep space - in August, it has been reported.

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences still don't know the source of the pulses, previously dubbed "FRB121102".

The same signal was first picked up in 2012 at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and has been spotted several times since.

One possible theory is that high-energy processes out in the universe could be responsible.

The satellite dish, located in Guizhow in the southwest of China, was purpose-built to listen to the Milky Way for any signs of alien signals. 3 billion light years is way beyond our Milky Way galaxy. That means the signals are 3 billion years old.
