But don't get too excited — the scientists say it could easily just be a misidentified transmission from us humans.
While it's certainly an eyebrow-raising conclusion, the team does conclude that the "most likely" cause of the signal is radio frequency interference from another source.
According to the paper, the signal is very unlikely to have been produced by natural processes in the cosmos, and therefore must be the source of a leaking or sent transmission. The paper also also revealed that the signal, which was observed for a 20 minute period, drifted in frequency, which could indicate that it was coming from an orbiting celestial body.
