The Chinese say they received a strange signal from a strange civilization

Report upon receipt A mysterious signal from the abyss of spacewhich was to be sent by an intelligent alien civilization, was published on the pages of the prestigious newspaper of the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, Science and Technology Daily.

Unfortunately, the report disappeared as soon as it appeared. And that’s with the comments. The entire event was quickly rated in the Chinese media. Unidentified flying object researchers You mentioned that the government of the Middle Kingdom was behind the whole operation. Despite this fact, as we all know, nothing is lost on the Internet, so this exciting information began to spread all over the world.

What signals did the Chinese receive? Well, it’s supposed to be narrow band electromagnetic signalscaptured by Sky Eye, the world’s largest radio telescope, also known as FAST. The signals must have been very different from those received so far, which is why they have given rise to a lot of controversy.

The mysterious signals are already being analyzed by a team of astronomers led by Zhang Tonjie, the team’s principal investigator To search for civilizations outside the planetfounded by Peking Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of California, Berkeley.

The Sky Eye radio telescope has a diameter of 500 meters and is located in southwestern Guizhou Province Radio observations of exoplanets. For the most part, these are things that might be like other Earths, i.e. ideal places to go thriving biological life.

Presumably, the authorities feared that this news would lead to social unrest in China. Scientists have not disclosed more information on this topic yet.

All data is re-analyzed. However, this task will not be easy, since repeated listening to the object from which the signal was received can take several months. The research on the FAST radio telescope is already planned for the next few months and it will be difficult to change it.
