oh look, the comments are full of religious fanatics and political bickering. surprise surprise.
anyway, that was a very interesting read, it doesn't say anything about the wavelength of the radio waves though, if they were even determined.

It is a Borg ship, heading this way.

We should probably worry.

I can't say I'm surprised but at the same time it is fascinating.

Could. We consider teleporting a large number of Ferengi onto the Borg ship?

Hopefully, they would sneakily take it over, and sell the ship itself for scrap metal.

They'll probably have a follow-up article where some astronomer claims this as evidence of a new type of pulsar.
Until then, I'm sure its aliens.

Its just some aliens pulsed internet radio connection, nothing to be afraid of, and maybe you can scam some of their credit cards too, you never know.

As the guy with the wild hair says: "I don't want to say its aliens. But, its aliens."
