The Arecibo Observatory has captured a mysterious and rare deep-space event – a so-called “fast radio burst” (FRB) that lasted a mere three one-thousandths of a second, confirming the results of astronomers at Parkes Observatory in Australia. Until now, it had been thought that the RFBs observed at Parkes may have been of local origin since they had not been seen elsewhere.

More info here (http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2014/07/arecibo-captures-its-first-fast-radio-burst) and here (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-brilliant-flash-then-nothing-new-fast-radio-bursts-mystify-astronomers/). Most likely an extraterrestrial digital mode and, yes, they have already worked 6-Land.

I always thought an FRB was like an SBD. No one seems to know where either came from. Who Gnu?
