#Aliens Found? China Says It May Have Detected Signals From Aliens
According to a report recently released by Chinese scientists and subsequently deleted, China claims that its giant "skyeye" telescope may have picked up trace signals from distant extraterrestrial civilizations. .. 4,444 astronomers from Beijing Normal University reported on Tuesday (June 14th) in Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of the Ministry of Science of China, that "technology and extraterrestrial civilization from beyond the earth" We have found some examples of possible traces of. technology. The
signal was received by China's 500-meter Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), nicknamed "Sky Eye," the world's largest radio telescope. Sky Eye was used to search space for radio signals that could indicate extraterrestrial life in 2019. When reviewing this data in 2020, researchers said they discovered two suspicious narrowbands, perhaps artificial radio signals. Then, in 2022, a focused study of known exoplanets found another strange narrowband radio signal, number three. The
signal is a narrowband radio wave that is typically used only by manned aircraft and satellites, so it may have been generated by alien technology. However, scientists say the findings are preliminary and should be considered carefully until the analysis is complete.
"These are multiple narrow-band electromagnetic signals that are different from the past, and the team is currently working on further investigation," Zhang Tsujie, a senior scientist at Beijing Normal University's China Extraterrestrial Civilization Research Group, told the Science and Technology Daily. Told. .. "It is very likely that the suspicious signal is some form of radio interference and needs further confirmation and exclusion. This can be a long process." After the release of
, the report reports on China's social media network Weibo. It quickly spread in and was picked up by many other government agencies. The reason for the sudden deletion is unknown. The
signal is not the first time scientists have been confused by radio waves from space. The SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) search performed by Ohio State University's Big Year Telescope in August 1977 was incredibly powerful, burning frequently with scientists suspecting it was being used by extraterrestrial civilizations. A 1-minute electromagnetic burst was detected. That night, when scientist Jerry Aman, who worked at the telescope, found a signal in a printout of the data, he hurriedly scribbled "Wow!". There is a red pen on the side, and its famous name is recognized.
All follow-ups in the same area of the universe came empty-handed, and subsequent research suggested that the signal might have come from a sun-like star in Sagittarius, Live Science previously reported. Did. Nevertheless, the source of the signal is still a mystery.
China's Sky is keen to eliminate radio interference, which has recently been known to ambush alien hunting scientists. In 2019, astronomers discovered a signal radiating from Proxima Centauri towards Earth. This is the star system closest to the Sun (about 4.2 light-years away), where there is at least one habitable planet. The
signal is a narrowband radio wave, usually associated with man-made objects, and scientists have been urged to consider the exciting potential of being derived from extraterrestrial technology. However, a new study published two years later suggested that the signal was most likely generated by a malfunction of human technology, LiveScience previously reported. Similarly, another well-known set of signals, once thought to be from extraterrestrial life and discovered between 2011 and 2014, is actually by scientists who microwave lunch. It turned out to have been generated.
Tonjie added that his team plans to repeatedly monitor strange signals to completely eliminate radio interference and get as much information as possible about them.
"We look forward to the [FAST Telescope] first discovering and confirming the existence of extraterrestrial civilization," Tongjie told Science and Technology Daily.
The disagreement between the size and age of the universe and the apparent lack of intelligent life beyond Earth (known as the Fermi paradox) have long worried scientists. The name of the paradox comes from the casual noon meditation of Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, who is famous for "where is everyone" after pondering the riddle.
