Astronomers just reported 234 signals that could be from aliens trying to make contact

There's a new study out that has identified 234 stars, out of a sample of 2.5 million, with a peculiar pulsing signal.

The astronomers behind the study, as well as outside experts, are displaying a healthy level of skepticism about the possibility of aliens as an explanation. Still, there are only a few other possibilities that could explain this odd behavior.
