Radio Bursts with Extragalactic Spectral Characteristics Show Terrestrial Origins
Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Matthew Bailes, Ronald Ekers et al., 2011. The Astrophysical Journal 727(1), 18.
Reports 16 swept-frequency pulses, later called perytons, seen in a sidelobe of the Parkes telescope and clearly terrestrial, whose sweep resembles the Lorimer burst's; argues that they cast doubt on the extragalactic reading of that burst.
What it's used for here
The main early challenge to an astrophysical origin for fast radio bursts.
