Was it Aliens?!

Several decades ago, Jocelyn Bell Burnell and her colleagues found a strange signal in their radio-astronomy data: a rapid blip, endlessly repeating, unlike anything they'd seen before, coming from a particular far-away object. It was so regular they wondered if it might some strange new phenomenon ... or even a signal from aliens?!
They called the object LGM1, for Little Green Men.
Turned out, it wasn't aliens. But what they found was something truly fascinating anyway.

Great video. Looking forward to more of these! Keep it up, man!

[@DragonlordsOnline]

Great video as always, looking forward to more!

Very good, thank you

How come I haven't seen pulsars as a possible solution for the recent radio burst discovery? From what I have seen online it seems like there is no answer to them yet. Is it a different form of radio bursts, is what you just described only one of many theories for what caused LGM-1 or have I just so happened to only see bad guesses ?

make sense
