The paper is much more conservative than the article about it. They're saying that the close relationship between the signal and the human-made second, plus the fact that most of these signals were observed at one particular telescope, suggests strongly that it's a local, human source.

This is very interesting paper that just came out last week. So they found fast radio bursts (FRB) to have DMs (Dispersion Measure) that are in perfect multiplication with integers to a constant. This was supposed to be bit more random and so these being in such order is very surprising and unlikely to be just coincidence. Only 11 FRBs are found so far which might also means source of signal is not all around. On the…
