Is weird Energy the possible remains of an Alien War?

Gregg Easterbrook is a Brookings Fellow, senior editor of the New Republic and writes alot on space issues.

Last week in his NFL (American Football) Column(which he also writes) he reported on a speculative piece by one his readers that talked about a weird sources of energy thatcould be the evidence of an Alien war. He doesn't say so. I don't say so. Just a neat thought for what it is worth.

Another Voorwerp Found? TMQ has noted the creepy possibility that gamma-ray bursts, powerful energy spikes from deep space, are the muzzle flashes of awful weapons used in distant combat. Reader Chris Crooks of South Reading, Va., notes a creepy astronomy finding by Kyle Barbary of the University of California at Berkeley: SCP 06F6, a region where very powerful deep-space energy discharges appeared seemingly from nowhere, existed for about 100 days, then vanished. The strange energy glow lasted much longer than a gamma-ray burst, but lacked the technical characteristics of supernova explosions: "The transient's spectrum, in addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey," which so far has mapped roughly one-quarter of the heavens. Cosmologists are now trying to puzzle out what SCP 06F6 might be, and assuming, of course, that it is natural. What if instead this is a glimpse of a region of ancient, horrific war -- ancient because it is billions of light-years away, thus billions of years in the past -- in which the combatants employed weapons too terrible to contemplate? Ancient combat that continued about 100 days until the last participant was wiped out, and the region of space fell cold and lifeless.

If so that would have some implications for the Drake Equation!

It is very much a possibility.

Though I remain an open mind and any kind of proof has the ability to persuade my beliefs and bottom lines are

Aliens do exist.
God exists but goes much farther than any religion known, at least in western culture.
Spirituality, astral plains, etc are very much real, just lacks any existence in documentation in mainstream western culture.

So imo that theory is very much possible.

A really interesting theory! Nice one!

The truth is,we have no real idea what is going on "out there".
We have little or no understanding of what is happening in deep space,we have barely scratched the surface as a species,so this theory seems entirely plausible to me.

I only thank God (or the Gods?) that we are to far away to feel the true repercussions of such an event but,if the speculation leads me to believe,we are indeed on the brink of gaining some sort of experience in "galactic matters"!

A very thought provoking thread.Well done!
(By the way,i am half drunk while typing this ,so i hope my spelling is okay).

i know this is completly topic, but your avatar just completly blew me away!

best avatar ive seen on ATS so far..

to keep it on topic, i remember the story they meant, it was very weird, but probably one os spaces many mysterys.!

Greets,
Just figured I would toss a pic in of the Voorwerps from galaxyzoo. Very cool looking.
