Recent research suggests that the signals potentially originating from beyond Earth may be emanating from the central region of our galaxy, the Milky Way in an attempt to enable contact with humanity. This study focuses on the utilisation of data from a groundbreaking mission called Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS) which revolves around identifying recurring patterns that could potentially serve as the key to unlocking connections with alien intelligence.

BLIPSS is a collaborative initiative involving the SETI Institute, Breakthrough Listen, and Cornell University. The researchers utilised BLIPSS to concentrate on the central region of the Milky Way, a densely populated area of grouping stars and potentially habitable exoplanets are located. According to the team, BLIPSS will significantly enhance the prospects of getting evidence of extraterrestrial signals travelling through space.

The researchers focused towards these potentially habitable regions, with the hope of capturing a glimpse of something intriguing, and it appears they might have succeeded. 

According to the team, BLIPSS will ensure a more intensive exploration of these repeating signals.

The study in question was led by Akshay Suresh, a graduate student at Cornell University, and has been published in the Astronomical Journal. The potential discovery of alien signals in space is an intriguing prospect, especially in light of recent revelations by whistleblowers claiming that the US government possesses evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft.
