Aliens: Mysterious blinking lights in the sky may be a sign of other life

For decades, people have wondered whether there are life forms existing beyond Earth or not. But the question may have been answered by astronomers upon their recent discovery.

Express reports that astronomers are currently trying to determine what the strange blinking lights from space are in case they would become evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial spaceships or structures. The scientists noticed the vanishing and reappearing lights in the sky, and as of now they believe that the lights might be coming from “natural, if somewhat extreme, astrophysical sources” but they have yet to come to a conclusive answer.

If this is proven to be true, then it might pave the way for a new field of astrophysics. The researchers even noted that their findings could potentially mean from going past traditional measures of astrophysics to the further searches of extraterrestrial life and or advanced technology coming from the extraterrestrial life outside the planet. The researchers analyzed old images of similar phenomena dating back to the 1950s, including military catalog sky images and compared them to modern findings, looking out for indicators such as stars that supposedly disappeared from the Milky Way.

According to Stockholm University professor and member of the Instituto Astrofisica de Canarias Beatriz Villaroel, discovering a star that appears out of nowhere “would certainly include new astrophysics beyond the one we know of today.”

It also bears noting that stars that are dying out turn into white dwarves or explode in a process called a supernova. With this in mind, the blinking lights from the sky could mean a few things: a failed supernova, natural astrophysical phenomena, or evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Moving along with blinking lights, Space previously reported that the unusual flashing lights are also measured as Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs by astronomers. So far, scientists have only been able to document 20, but as the recent report may suggest, there are more. These lights are supposedly coming from galaxies that are billions of light-years away from our planet. However, the cause of these lights appearing has yet to be determined.

It is possible that the lights could be coming from an alien transmitter, indicating advanced technology built by aliens.
