Astronomy experts have came across some "mysterious" radio signals that they believe may have come from aliens.
Using AI technology, or deep learning, astronomers sourced the eight signals to around five 'nearby' stars that are located 30 to 90 light years away.
The signals were in the form of electromagnetic waves, and the astronomers say that they may be messages sent by civilisations with technology much more advanced than our own.
The data was collected by the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. Bigger than the Statue of Liberty, it is part of the Breakthrough Listen project aimed at identifying extra terrestrial activity.
The pulses were 'hiding in plain sight' among a huge number of recordings from more than six years ago.
An international team developed a computer algorithm to analyse the unimaginably large amount of information in more detail.
Lead author Peter Ma, an undergraduate at the University of Toronto, said: "In total, we had searched through 150 TB (terabytes) of data of 820 nearby stars.
"The dataset had previously been searched through in 2017 by classical techniques but labelled as devoid of interesting signals."
No 'targets of interest' were originally indicated - but the new neural network found this wasn't the case at all.
A manual re-examination also confirmed the findings shared several of the same key characteristics.
They were narrow band, meaning they had a small spectral width of just a few Hz (Hertz), whereas natural phenomena tend to be broadband.
Even more interestingly the readings, reported in the journal Nature Astronomy, were 'sloped', indicating acceleration.
They also appeared only when the instrument focused on a specific celestial source, disappearing when it pointed away.

Ellise Shafer An eight-part event series about boxing icon Muhammad Ali is in the works at Peacock from Regé-Jean Page, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Willmott, Variety has confirmed. Hailing from writer and executive producer Willmott (“BlacKkKlansman,” “Da 5 Bloods”), the drama is titled “Excellence: 8 Fights” and is based on Jonathan Eig’s definitive biography “Ali: A Life.” “Bridgerton” breakout Page and Freeman are both on board as executive producers. According to the show’s official description, “Excellence: 8 Fights” will “chronicle eight distinct and defining moments in the iconic life of Muhammad Ali. Each episode will be framed by one fight from Ali’s life, but the essence of the episode, what it’s really about, is the internal fight – the drama outside the ring – where we will explore the struggle going on in the heart and mind of one of the most consequential and controversial figures of the 20th century.”
