They themselves, like I said, in August 2024, published a new hypothesis featuring a new natural explanation.

They suggest that the signal was the result of a hydrogen maser flare.

I'm going to break this down for you, but I have a visual aid that I think will communicate way better than what I'm about to break down.

So go ahead and take a look at image F as we have it, Fredo.

But again, a maser is a microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

In essence, they theorize that there was a massive cloud of cold hydrogen somewhere in space that may have been energized by a powerful energy source, something like a magnetar or star formation or a shockwave emanating through space.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, something that would be super, super rare to happen.

And if you haven't heard of a magnetar, they're almost as scary as pulsars.

They're essentially a city sized neutron star, like with the density of a star, but the size of New York City.

And it has an immense magnetic field.

And for whatever reason, a magnetar, for example, could have emanated energy enough to pummel this cold hydrogen gas in space, which would then make it go up, up, up, up, up,

And then the hydrogen being energized would then emit at the 1420 megahertz bandwidth because it's being energized.

And it's like, bam.

That's wild.

There's a lot of other things I'm kind of glossing over here as to why hydrogen does this.

It has to do with, I think, electrons moving from different orbits around the atom, etc.

But suffice to say.

the hydrogen is being blasted by something very powerful and therefore it is emanating a radio signal and then we happen to hear that that happened right that's wild yeah i mean that's just that's what i was thinking right it's just nature doing its thing

Yeah, and we just happened to hear something extraordinarily rare happen.
