A mission to explore intelligent alien life in the universe has recorded some mysterious signals coming from a galaxy three billion light years away, according to an Indian-origin scientist working on the ambitious project co-founded by Stephen Hawking. The latest fast radio bursts (FRBs) prove their equipment is working well and ready to pick up signs of life if they exist. Beyond our galaxy it will listen for messages from the 100 closest galaxies at 10 billion different frequencies. "Somewhere in the universe intelligent life may be watching the lights of ours aware of what they mean," he said. Whatever they are they left their galaxy when our Solar System was just two billion years old and life was just getting going on Earth.
