ET home!!!!!

There are a number of theories about what could be causing them.

They include a neutron star with a very strong magnetic field that
is spinning very rapidly, two neutron stars merging together, and,
among a minority of observers, some form of alien spaceship.

Let's vote on it the democratic way! Proposition ET 666! Yay or
Nay!

The alien spaceship theory is out, unless these aliens are all over
the universe sending out the same kinds of radio bursts from the same
make and model of transmitter.

You can't quite rule it out that easily.

There may be only one way of opening up a wormhole near a black hole and
this is the RF emission signature it produces.

I am more inclined to believe it is the signature of something made of
normal matter being spaghettified by a black hole or neutron star.

The repeaters must be some sort of very exotic cataclysmic variable.

The CHIME instrument that found them is in Vancouver and rather
interesting in its approach to whole sky observations.

It is in some ways a modern hybrid of the 4C parabolic cylinder antenna
and the big field of dipoles phased array that found the first pulsars
(but with massively greater computing power available to it).
