It's in french (first publication), you can google translate it. It says that doctors in University searched for life outside our own world and found some Irregularities from a couple of suns at 1000 light years away. They believe aliens are trying to contact us through laser messages or something like that.

No, the scientists dont "believe" of alien origin of the signals but they have taken this option into consideration, thats a big difference.

Quebec scientists studying the sky perceived light oscillations from the so special space that could include messages sent by extraterrestrial life. If this theory is not new, Professor Ermanno Borra and his student Eric Trottier, of Laval University in Quebec City, come to see published in the prestigious Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. To confirm the hypothesis by Professor Ermanno Borras in 2012, his student Eric Trottier made a great survey of the sky, with the survey program of celestial objects, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The master student has analyzed a set of objects in the sky: galaxies, stars and others.

It found that of the 2.5 million objects, the particular oscillations came from only 235 stars, strangely similar to the sun. These oscillations were all similar. "If the aliens want to tell us that they exist, they can take and send a laser light pulses on and off ... They, light, dark. What we have observed is that it is always the same time between the signals from peers. They are very very short time. Between these times, it could have coded messages. The signal is so weird, "says Professor Borra, joined by TVAnouvelles.ca.

According to Borra, distance from the signal exceeds 1,000 light years. If this distance seems enormous, it is quite possible to generate such a signal with current technology.

How distant stars so they can send a specific signal? There is no official scientific explanation for this oscillation. Researchers are looking to the hypothesis, which is not confirmed, the alien life form.

According to the publication, these forms of intelligent life would try to contact us to inform us of their presence. The Borra professor who hypothesized in 2012 warned "there is nothing crazy in there. This is not to believe or not to believe in aliens, but simply to analyze the comments we made the sky and seek the truth. " That said it all remains a 'hypothesis' explains Professor.

Further work carried out by other researchers, should confirm or refute this hypothesis.

Well I'm glad the doctors are on top of this.

Why assume aliens, if there be any, are trying to contact us in particular?  They have no idea we are here.  If they are sending messages it is a wide cast, to see what results.  The nearest they would be to aiming at us is that we are in a quadrant they happen to be targeting.

Maybe they just found something new that needs explaining. Doesn't mean it's aliens. The universe is full of natural surprises, and we've barely scratched the surface.

Aliens were considered a possible but unlikely explanation when pulsars were first discovered.

Yeah, just because something can't be explained we can't up and jump to "it has to be aliens". Would be fascinating if it was ET though.
