據英國《每日快報》(Daily Express)報道,澳洲新南威爾斯帕克斯無線電望遠鏡接收到雙重無線電信號伴隨著4個單信號,讓分析訊號的天文學家感到困惑。

全球過去僅記錄到11個不明的瞬間無線電脈波。發現此信號團隊之一墨爾本旋賓科技大學的潘崔夫(Emily Petroff)認爲,信號來源可能比過去更值得注意。

她發表推文說:“我們還不清楚是怎麽一回事,但肯定很酷。”

“幽浮調查手冊”(UFO Investigations Manual)作者華生(Nigel Watson)說:“來自外太空的每個罕見信號都促使我們猜想,是否來自外星文明。”

華生說:“這絕對將讓幽浮觀察者有機會說,就說有外星人存在,而且對我們的活動很有興趣,你們就是不信。”
