Overview
- Veteran NASA scientist Richard Stanton has identified three instances of paired light pulses from Sun-like stars, observed in 2019, 2023, and 2025.
- The pulses, separated by seconds, exhibit rapid brightness fluctuations that defy known astrophysical processes and natural explanations.
- Extensive analysis has ruled out false positives such as atmospheric phenomena, satellites, and system noise as potential sources.
- The 2023 detection showed a star's brightness fluctuating dramatically within 0.2 seconds, a phenomenon Stanton describes as unprecedented.
- While extraterrestrial involvement cannot be confirmed, the findings remain a mystery, prompting further study to explore potential causes.
