Now, some researchers argue that if other dishes like one that's called the Very Large Array, it's in New Mexico.

It is the quintessential 27 like white satellite dishes out in the desert.

You've probably seen this in Independence Day.

You've probably seen this in movies like Contact.

When you have movies about hearing about extraterrestrial life, you're likely seeing the very large array.

That's the name of it, which is such a science.

Some scientists named that.

And I can tell there's no marketing fluff on that.

But they argue that if it was simply a radio signal coming to Earth and scintillating in some way, it was so strange that other dishes didn't pick up this very same signal.

It's very strange that just this one that was just trained on this one spot happened to pick it up.

It kind of implies that it was a focused signal specifically from a spot like an intentional burst, because if it was scintillating, something else would have passively picked this up.

In fact, talking about the very large array, it is way more sensitive than big ear.

And so if it happened to listen to the same signal, they would have been able to diagnose this a lot more easily.

But it doesn't answer for it.

It's a common theory.

It's a very light theory, but we're just getting started because the next one is where your instincts lied.

The idea of comets.

So in 2017, there was a man named Antonio Paris who proposed that comets could have been the potential source of this phenomenon.

Paris was an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at St.

Petersburg College in Florida.
