Are radio signals from space broadcasts by alien life?

Poor humanity. We have always thought that we are the sh!t and the universe keeps reminding us that we are just a tiny little spot.

Lol only the religious sheep ever believed we were the big stick in the universe.

Could have been that official notice regarding the construction of the intergalactic highway...

" bright flashes of radio waves that last only milliseconds, but still emit as much energy as the sun in an entire day. "

What the..? Emits that much energy...in a milisecond?

Obviously I don't understand the physics of radio waves....what equipment could handle that?

what equipment could handle that? Something with a very, very big battery. Don't forget that the signal will reduce exponentially over distance. Is it April 1st already?

No -- that's when the aliens will arrive

This is good news indeed. I know there is a stargate hidden somewhere on our planet, the alien signal will reveal its location.

Isn't it the entrance to Walking Street? -- there's enough aliens down there !!

Looks like an other story from the X files.

1. Time travel to the past is not possible. Otherwise, we'd have people from the future popping in all the time.

2. There are no aliens SMART ENOUGH to figure out how to send either analog amplitude (AM) or frequency (FM) modulation signals nor digital (PCM) signals, because we would have heard them.

So, if there's life "out there", it's in the form of bacteria or other simple life forms...

Faulty logic on both counts, although your point one is correct (but for a different reason)

We may not have heard them. We may not have the technology to hear/detect them, and if they are sending from the other side of the universe, the signals may be many thousands of years to get here at the speed of light.
