More than 230 stars in the universe produce mysterious signals

A few weeks ago practically all of us looked at the sky before the possibility that a huge radio signal had been detected in space from a star, which would mean that some kind of intelligent civilization lives in it. Far from entering into whether or not someone is hiding information for different reasons, the truth is that this is not the only signal received since today, after investigating 2,5 million stars, have been discovered that in 234 of them there are 'peculiar periodic spectral modulations'.

This claim has been made by astronomers Ermanno F. Borra y Eric Trottier, both belonging to the Laval university from Canada. As they have confirmed, we are facing a series of signals that literally, as expressed in their studies, would have been launched into space by extraterrestrial civilizations wanting to make contact with other civilizations. As expected, much of the scientific community accuses them of drawing premature conclusions.

At this point, to understand the basis of all this research, we have to go back to 2012 to a paper published by Ermanno Borra where it was suggested that an alien civilization, to try to communicate with another planet, could use a laser system, a technology that does not need to be especially powerful and that, if it had been pointed by chance at our planet, would allow us to detect periodic flashes of hidden light in the spectrum of its host star.

SETI, when studying the signals, has not given them truth.

With this in mind, it is sure that it is much easier for us to understand what kind of work both the doctor and one of his graduate students, Eric Trottier, who has literally dedicated to analyze the data of the 2,5 stars registered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Thanks to this analysis, it has been possible to create what today is considered the most detailed three-dimensional map of the universe in the world, a map that has been endowed with multicolored images and the spectra of more than three million astronomical objects.

In this study Trottier comments that he was able to find exact signals to those described by Borra in no less than 234 stars. The astronomer believes he has found periodic pulses of approximately 1,65 picoseconds, which, according to him, could mean that we are facing a confirmation of the existence of some type of extraterrestrial civilization trying to communicate. As expected, the study of these signals confirms that other explanations for the patterns have been ruled out, such as possible rapid pulsations in the atmospheres of stars or transitions, rotations of the molecules.
