Everyone likes solving a mystery, and the hunt for the source of strange signals detected by Australia's Parkes radio telescope is a classic. Although how "aliens" became involved in the story is more of a media mystery than a scientific one. But first to those strange signals: fast radio bursts (FRBs). The source of these powerful, millisecond bursts is unknown but we're getting closer to understanding them.

1. Okay - if I read that correctly,

they have not determined the source of the FRB signals but they did figure out what causes perytons (which was pretty clever). Is that right?
