We've Been Receiving A Mysterious Signal Every 22 minutes For 35 Years

For 35 years, scientists and astronomers have been intrigued by a mysterious signal arriving from space every 22 minutes. This relentless pattern has sparked a multitude of questions and theories about its origin and meaning. Is it a natural cosmic phenomenon, or could it be an attempt at communication from an extraterrestrial intelligence?

I’ll save you sixteen minutes of your life: it’s a magnetar.

[robertbeaman]

More than likely, it's a group of teenage aliens getting stoned and making prank phone calls.

[larryfulkerson]

I'd be willing to bet that that 35 year period started when we started listening and not when the signal began.

This video is a great drinking game. Have a shot each time he says “GPMJ1839-10”

[lagodifuoco]

The thing I found most fascinating about your video was the flawless repetition of you saying, "Gee pee em jay eighteen thirty nine dash ten" throughout it.

[wiktorr]

Ah yes, the "magnitude of a magnetar's magnetic field"

[gypsy]

We could call it the "Milkywave" much easier to say and remember.

Narrator’s voice tingles the same parts of my brain that Marty Stouffer did on Wild America.

[jessehull]

I'm not epileptic, but, holy shit. Those bright flashing lights almost made me throw up. Why put something like that in your video?

[dieAnthropologischeKonstante]

With all due respect, your stock videos imply that this signal is directed at our planet in a very limited space.
I think we should consider the spread of a radio signal that is crossing the path of our solar system for 35 years…

[metacomet]

Preparing now for the nightmares I'll be having about those Array spiders coming to life.

Magnetic fields are only produced by electric currents. So, double interactions are most likely two twisting Birkland Currents in a Z-pinch. Criminy (trans. Geez)

[AmatureAstronomer]

Sounds like a very, very patient alien with a radio transmitter.

[ForkCandle]

If it were an artificial signal it would have readable code within it that would very occasionally change. It doesn't have readable code and is of variably received amplitude for natural reasons we don't know.

[paxsevenfour]

That cable management at 2:35 though! Very nice 🤌🏻

[RedVynil]

Does it make a sound? Have you been recording it? Are you able to record it to tape? I would try doing so and then dramatically speeding up the tape to see if it's a recorded message that just happens to be coming to us, here, at an EXTREMELY slow rate of speed, to our way of thinking but, to someone out there, it could just be normal speed.

[petersteffen]

Maybe it's a beacon for interstellar travelers.

[JohnVance]

"Intrigued bewilderment" is my favorite state of the scientific community!

[ParallaxiMaxime]

I'll save you a lifetime: The closest potentially habitable planet found outside our solar system so far is orbiting a star 14 light-years away. If there were a species there capable of sending any signal, it would take 28 years at minimum just to communicate a "hello". But most likely, any comparative species looking to make contact is much further away - so far that no human could be present to witness any 2-way communication.

It's probably an offer to save 15% on GEICO Galactic...
