Scientists from Puerto Rico believe that a star at a distance of 11 light years sends specific signals
Researchers from Puerto Rico believe that a star that is 11 light-years distant from us transmits strange signals. This mystery has already covered the Internet, as it hints at the possible presence of life near the dwarf red star Ross 128. Although astronomers are trying to calm disputes and cool the atmosphere of gossip.
For the first time, unusual hints appeared in April and May, when astronomers looked at the small and cold red dwarf stars around which the planets were located.
Ross 128 has no planets, but strange signals appeared in the 10-minute dynamic spectrum. It happened on May 13th. They were quasi-periodic unpolarized pulses with powerful dispersive functions. Scientists do not believe that this radio frequency interference, because for the star appear unique.

There are three main explanations. This may be emissions, reminiscent of solar flares. Perhaps, near Ross 128 an invisible object lurked. Or it is an explosion from a high orbit.
Signals dimmed too quickly, so they could not catch the other equipment. The researchers are going to use the Arecibo Observatory and the SETI telescope to conduct another observation on Sunday.
