Humanity receives a mysterious signal... Is it a message from extraterrestrial beings?

Humanity on Earth received a mysterious message lasting only ten seconds from outer space, but it sparked a wave of panic and confusion among the scientists who were able to capture it. This message, which has not yet been understood, has reopened the question of whether its source is extraterrestrial beings trying to communicate with planet Earth.

Scientists said the message or signal, which lasted only ten seconds, originated from an unknown location deep in space, meaning that the door to speculation and possibilities remains open.

A report published by the British newspaper "Daily Mail," which was reviewed by stated that the source of the mysterious signal is one of the most distant points in the universe, while scientists are still trying to understand the origins of this message.

Two Earth-based satellites confirmed that the mysterious signal came from a point 13 billion light-years from Earth, likely resulting from a supernova explosion when the universe was only 730 million years old.

The farther away an object is in space, the longer it takes for its light (or signal) to reach us. So when we see an explosion or a very distant star, we are actually looking at what happened there billions of years ago, like a time machine showing us the past.

In this case, scientists believe that this high-energy gamma-ray burst, which they named (GRB 250314A), was caused by the oldest supernova ever recorded since the dawn of history.

Gamma rays are invisible forms of extremely powerful light. These stellar explosions are the most powerful known source of radiation in the universe, resulting from massive stellar explosions, and appear on our planet as extremely bright flashes.

Scientists are still unsure why this ancient supernova from the early universe resembles the exploding stars we see today in our recent universe.

If this explosion is the true source of the signal, researchers from NASA and the European Space Agency expect that early stars were larger and hotter, and produced more violent explosions than indicated by the mysterious signal.

"Only a handful of gamma-ray bursts have been detected in the last 50 years, dating back to the first billion years of the universe," says Andrew Levan, lead author of a new study on the signal from Radboud University in the Netherlands. "This particular event is extremely rare and very exciting."

The signal was first detected on March 14, 2025, when the Space Variable Object Observatory (SVO) satellite spotted it as a sudden flash of high-energy light coming from deep space.

Two studies have recently been published on the possible source of this remote signal.

This probe is a joint project between scientists from France and China, and is designed to detect this type of explosion throughout the universe.

The signal recorded by the scientists was a short, powerful burst of gamma rays, invisible energy waves more powerful than X-rays, capable of penetrating the human body directly, damaging cells, DNA, and tissues.

Because this explosion is believed to have originated from a star exploding 13 billion light-years from Earth, the gamma rays that reached Earth were far too weak to pose any danger to humans.

This explosion lasted only about 10 seconds, because gamma-ray bursts are like fast fireworks in space, releasing a huge amount of energy in a very short period before they fade away.
