<galois> [arXiv] “A proposed signal discovery method in interstellar communication” William J. Crilly Jr — «Experiments conducted since 2018, using three geographically spaced synchronized radio telescopes, and a radio interferometer, indicate the presence of anomalous narrow bandwidth pulse pairs, conjectured to be sourced from a celestial direction near the star Rigel. Many explanatory hypotheses are possible. In the current work, a…»
