Little green men did not sent fast radio bursts

Research has shown that magnetars are responsible for most, if not all, fast radio bursts or FRBs.

“Scientists connected two of the largest radio telescopes in the world to take a close look at the mysterious "colors" of the intergalactic phenomena known as fast radio burst.

FRBs are some of the most energetic outbursts in the universe, packing more energy than the sun produces in three days into blips of light that last just a few milliseconds..

One explanation for this FRB's predictable, repetitive schedule suggests that a binary star system is involved; every two weeks or so, the FRB source moves in front of its companion star (relative to Earth), briefly permitting the FRB's light to shine across space toward our telescopes.”

So, we should not believe that little green men are behind the bursts.
