ASTRONOMERS in Canada have just encountered mysterious radio signals coming from deep space – could they be proof of alien life or is it something else entirely?

The mysterious radio signals are so-called Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs from some unknown source in the cosmos. Thanks to Canada’s CHIME radio telescope in British Columbia, astronomers have identified eight of these radio bursts on Earth. FRBs are incredibly short blasts of radio waves that only last milliseconds at a time. First discovered in 2007, FRBs have been a source of confusion among the scientific community.

The study reads: “We report on the discovery of eight repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) sources found using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope.”

McGill Space Institute PhD student Pragya Chawla, who co-authored the paper, said: “Discovering eight sources like this is so important because it says we have a lot more repeating FRBs and can figure out the environments and the galaxies these FRBs are located in if we follow them up with other telescopes.”

Scientists have described these signals as being 1,000 times weaker than a mobile phone found on the surface of the Moon.

We still have no new clue on whether the origin is artificial or natural.

Victoria Kaspi, an astrophysicist at McGill University, told CBC: “The first biggest conclusion is that this is not an anomalous phenomenon. This is for real.

“It just takes time and patience to find them. And two, it offers the opportunity to localise them, and that’s huge in the FRB field.”

The first sign of an FRB was found in 2007, hidden in a 2001 data set collected by the Parkes Observatory in New South Wales, Australia.

Could FRBs be signals from alien civilisations?
There has been a lot of heated discussion around the origin of FRBs.
Professor Abraham Loeb from the University of Harvard told Express.co.uk in July, an extraterrestrial origin cannot be discounted.
He said: “We still have no new clue on whether the origin is artificial or natural.
“The origin of FRBs is still a mystery. The data at hand is not sufficient to reveal the identity of their sources.”
Most astronomers, however, believe FRBs are created by large-scale astronomical phenomena.
