Powerful pulses of radio waves coming from galactic center

That is 10 hour Day 77 Day week then...

Sounds like the object is Very very large and turning very fast... perhaps in orbit a few hundred light years away from Sagitarious A......

Neon.

This is just speculation, but you have to figure, the average gravity at the center of the galaxy has to have an ENORMOUS force exerted to keep the arms and such in check, and because of the shape of our galaxy, it would suggest a regular speed that does not vary (much). My guess is what we're hearing is the noise of all this concentrated matter and gravity rotating.

Either that, or simply the massive amounts of force and gravity at the center have created a hitherto unknown celestial body, like they said "maybe some sort of new pulsar".

If it's aliens, though, it would make sense, as the center of the galaxy would provide the most stars within the shortest distance of each other.

This sounds like something they would have detected already. Did this just start happening? Or is this the first time they ever pointed the array at the center of the galaxy? I did not see anything answering this in the article.

Well I was joking about it at first, but you have to admit it's a little eerie. If you believe we're waiting for a sign in the sky, this would seem to be it. It has the right signature - 10 x 77 - and it's coming from somewhere near the center of the galaxy which is here...



They call it the "Pillars of Creation", part of the Eagle Nebula and I don't care what anybody says, that IS a horse's head bottom left. You all can interpret the other figures how you want, god, angels, clouds of gas, whatever floats your boat.

I think actually it must have somthing to do with research that has enabled us to detect magnetic objects from a great distance.

I still maintain that it makes perfect sence for a strong signal such as that...

10 - 77 - is that a co-ordinate? 01 07 07?????

Is this related to a so called signal that was supposed to be detected late last year by SETI... significant enough for it to appear in main steam press.....

The signal was supposed to be at the same frequency that hydrogen.....

It would make perfect sence I say....

Neon....

very interesting indeed, iwonder its a regualr signal 77mins and 10 min send and repeats hmm how many a day and are all the 10 min radio signals the same????? 18.7 signals a day in 24 hours

oops a doulbe post

10/77 is an interesting ratio, in decimal form it is one of those repeating numbers: 0.129870129870129870........................, the 129870 keeps repeating itself. If is a 'sign' of some sort perhaps that is important.

Well, if it is an intelligent signal, then the answer to what "10-77" means is obvious.

It's the latest score to the galaxy's most popular sports game.

As to what the game is, I have no idea, being as I'm in the backwaters of the Milky Way, but if they're anything like my friends and I in our youth, it is a rather interesting game we used to call "Bachiball"

It's basically a game where you have a dark room, with a lot of people, and one stick. The last person standing wins. I think this game would translate well across any culture or species.

Weren't there only 5 pulses? Also if it were intelligent the actual numbers of 10 and 77 wouldnt mean anything but the ratio between them or some other translation more universal.

I think that kind of rules out Black Holes being the cause doesn't it? Since they happen at set intervals?

Also, if that's so, then how come we haven't picked up these radio waves before?

Good point here. The times we use would more than likely not be the same time used by other intelligent life. 10 minutes might be like 3 quelzekiels to them. Well, I made up that word, but you get my point?

I remember reading an article in a pretty reputable magazine a while back about some sort of rapidly expanding wall of electromagnetic energy that had eminated from Galatic Central Point and was rushing outward. I wish I could remember more about it as it sounded pretty catastrophic, but it has been a decade or more now since I read the piece and don't remember much more than that. Any of you guys remember anything similar?

Should we call a mechanic? Is there a quick stop like Valvoline or do we have to wait in line?

Maybe its a distress call, from an intellegent life or distress call from something maybe a dying planet? i dont know

Maybe its just another unidentified cosmic phenomena. Or maybe its the real deal? Only time will tell. Im hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

Here's a what if. What if, this signal is being broadcast in a fan shape pointed at a specific place in space, and we're just entering the edge of that fan now and starting to pick up the signal? Let's say precession brings us to the point in space where we can receive the whole signal in about 7 years time and we find out it's a message from our creator(s)? We pass through the same spot every 5000 years or so and it's been broadcasting constantly, waiting for us to have the technology to hear it. Plausible?

im sorry everyone missed this one

Maybe sounds optimistic, but isnt this signal INTELLIGENT?

Yes, it does seem to be intelligent. The kicker for me is that it stopped? after 5 cycles??? How do they explain that?

77 is the only number pair that produces that type of repeating pattern also.

10/11 = 0.9090909
10/22 = 0.4545454
10/33 = 0.3030303
10/44 = 0.2272727
10/55 = 0.1818181
10/66 = 0.1515151
10/77 = 0.1298701
10/88 = 0.1136363
10/99 = 0.1010101
