Examines whether fast radio bursts could be leakage from beams that extragalactic civilisations use to push light sails, and finds that the emitter size and the best frequency for such a beam are consistent with observed bursts. **Fast radio bursts and the origin of the one-off burstsSecondary source** Articledoi: **[10.3847/2041-8213/aa633e](https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aa633e)** Checked against the original0 ## What it's used for here The best-known published artificial-origin proposal. ## Cited by on this site 1 record [Fast radio bursts and the origin of the one-off bursts](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/fast-radio-bursts) The mystery article MYS ## Cite it ``` Lingam, M., & Loeb, A.
