London: What has given credence to the theory of extraterrestrial life over the last decade is a mysteriously recurring radio burst from space that has puzzled astronomers. This signal could be a new cosmic phenomenon or actually a bid to contact us by aliens, says a new study. What they focused on in particular was the time dispersion between the signal's low and high frequencies, discovering that in every instance the difference was a multiple of 187.5. What is more puzzling is that the signal seems artificial.

When it was first detected in real-time, astronomers immediately theorised that it could be the remnants of a supernova explosion. But then, these explosions throw out huge amounts of light in other wavelengths. No other wavelengths were detected! However, while it sounds exciting, scientists say that one should not jump to a conclusion as this is all based on just 11 pieces of data. The signals are incredibly faint; they're certainly not sending anything that could even be misunderstood for a message.
