In an event that feels like it's from a sci-fi flick, NASA experts with a world team of star-gazers have cracked code on a signal that's been coming from faraway space for over 11 years — and now they say it's not from nature... and surely not from us.
The Signal That Shouldn't Be
The signal, first seen in 2014 by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), was once thought to be just space noise. But then, in late 2024, it showed a set way — one that follows the Fibonacci series, a math pattern often tied with smart minds.
Last month, a big leap happened when folks from MIT, Harvard, and the European Space Agency made sense of part of the signal.
“It was not just a burst. It had form. It was... a message,” said Dr. Thomas Elgren, head space expert at NASA's Deep Listening Project.
The Message: “We Are Coming”
Yes, that's right. The part they read said:
“We are coming. Get ready.”
Another bit seems to give space spots, pointing to a system 42 light-years away, and a likely time of 12 to 16 months.
“This isn’t just a signal. It’s a tick down,” said an unnamed NASA source.
Did the Government Know This Before?
Secret talks inside the Pentagon hint that signs like this were caught as far back as the 1980s — but kept hidden under Top Secret rules.
Now, some big-name truth-tellers are stepping up, saying the government has known about aliens for many years.
“We’ve been getting ready. They just didn’t want to scare the public,” said one old Air Force chief who wouldn't give his name.
DNA Twist: They May Have Been Here Before
Even more wild? New proof found by SETI shows a DNA pattern in the signal.
Geneticists checking the info say the lines look a lot like human mitochondrial DNA, mainly old genes once dubbed “junk.”
“It's like they’re saying… we’re linked. Or maybe even... made,” said Dr. Liane Morgan, a DNA expert at Cambridge University.
Global Reactions: Panic, Hope, and Fear
The world is in a quick spin.
Stock markets are all over the place
Faith leaders say it’s a “godly time”
Thousands are setting up cult-like camps for "The Arrival."
Elon Musk is pushing for a quick Mars trip
The Vatican even spoke to the world, asking people to “meet the unknown with smarts, not fear.”
UFO Sightings Soar
After the news, UFO reports shot up 700% around the world.
Strange high-up crafts have been seen over:
Alaska
Siberia
The Indian Ocean
And Area 51 — where they’ve now got strict rules in place
Is it wild fear? Or are they here already?
Conspiracies and Hiding
Even with NASA talking, big news places are slammed for hiding the story under light news.
Other outlets and lone researchers say this is a world secret coming out now.
Some think the visitors are kind. Others fear a takeover.
Last Words: Should We Be Scared?
Opinions are mixed.
“They’ve reached out. That’s the plus,” said Dr. Elgren.
“But we don’t know what they want. That’s the scary part.”
What Do You Think?
Are they here to help or to rule?
Have they been eyeing us all this while?
Is this the start of human change — or the end?
