72 Signals 'From Alien Galaxy' 3bn light Years Away... Maybe.

[guohua]

What was really meant -but presumed boring by those Journalists who are better than their readers, was...

'...In August of 2017, the Listen science team at the University of California, Berkeley SETI Research
Center observed FRB 121102 for five hours, using digital instrumentation at the GBT.

Combing through 400 TB of data, they reported (in a paper led by Berkeley SETI postdoctoral researcher
Vishal Gajjar, recently accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal a total of 21 bursts
 All were seen within one hour, suggesting that the source alternates between periods of quiescence and
frenzied activity.

 Now, Zhang and collaborators have developed a new machine learning algorithm, and reanalyzed the 2017
GBT dataset, finding an additional 72 bursts that were not detected originally.
They trained an algorithm known as a convolutional neural network to recognize bursts found by the classical
search method used by Gajjar and collaborators, and then set it loose on the 400 TB dataset to find bursts
that the classical approach missed.

"Gerry's work is exciting not just because it helps us understand the dynamic behavior of FRBs in more detail,"
remarked SETI Institute Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI Dr. Andrew Siemion, "but also because of the promise
it shows for using machine learning to detect signals missed by classical algorithms." 

But being the Chairman fro SETI, he had to add...

'...He went on to say that “these new techniques are already improving our sensitivity to signals from
extraterrestrial technologies.”...'

SOURCE:

He could've inserted the word 'assumed' near the end of his sentence, but since Dr. Siemion's chairmanship
involves searching for extraterrestrial life and their ways of signalling they exist, one can see why he would say it.

Not wanting to go Off-Topic, but I found this Interesting and Strange.
Could it by chance have anything to do with the activity at SETI?
Could our ships or alien ones be using the using this activity with the Sun to Fuel their or our ships?

National Solar Observatory Mysteriously Closed As Geomagnetic Storm Looms

Now, the next part may be of interest.

The National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico has been closed since last Thursday.
ABC-7 Monday spoke with Shari Lifson, who is with AURA, the company that co-manages the Observatory with NMSU.

“The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy who manages the facility is addressing a security issue at this time. We have decided to vacate the facility at this time as precautionary measure. It was our decision to evacuate the facility.”

Lifson told ABC 7 there is no time-table for the Observatory to be re-opened.
ABC-7 also reached out to the FBI, but did not hear back from the federal agency in time for deadline. The FBI did speak with local law enforcement about the length of the observatory closure.

“The FBI is refusing to tell us what’s going on. We’ve got people up there (at Sunspot) that requested us to standby while they evacuate it. Nobody would really elaborate on any of the circumstances as to why.
The FBI were up there. What their purpose was nobody will say. But for the FBI to get involved that quick and be so secretive about it, there was a lot of stuff going on up there.
There was a Blackhawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers but nobody would tell us anything.”

OK, for the FBI to be involved, there much be some sort of National Security Threat,,,, Yes?

The FBI did not tell Sheriff House the reason for the closure. Sheriff Benny House did tell ABC 7 that his local law enforcement did not have anything to do with either the observatory closure.

For the conspiracy-minded, Sunspot is a mere 130 miles from Roswell, New Mexico, and about 90 miles from the White Sands Missile Range. Established in 1958, the observatory predates the unincorporated area in the Sacramento Mountains that was named for it.

Aw-Ha! Gotcha! 
Or maybe not,,,,
We are both still thinking that maybe, just maybe with the extra strong sun spot activity occurring, ship may be refueling, like the one they caught a couple of years ago absorbing energy from the sun.


What is going on now,,, today? The same thing, just they don't want it to be recorded this time?

All of which would be odd enough, but as SHTFplan.com's Mac Slavo details below, the observatory is closed just as a massive hole has opened up in the Sun’s corona, which means we’re officially on watch for a geomagnetic storm.  Auroras will be likely across much of North America as the sun heads into a solar minimum.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a storm watch for a G2-level solar storm on September 11.

That’s a moderate storm on the 5-level scale, with G5 being the highest, according to Science Alert.  We’re currently heading into a solar minimum, the least active period of the Sun’s 11-year cycle. That means there will be a much lower sunspot, coronal mass ejection, and solar flare activity.

Are they worried that the event will be recorded again?
