Strange radio pulses detected coming from ice in Antarctica The strange radio pulses were detected between 2016 and 2018 by NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect radio waves from cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere, and a new study provides additional context to the nearly decade-old results
Bizarre radio signals that defy physics detected under . . . Instruments flying more than 18 miles (29 kilometers) above Antarctica detected two unexplainable radio pulses coming from below the ice — and these signals seem to defy particle physics
Strange Radio Signals Detected Emanating From Deep Under . . . Nearly two decades ago, an experiment floating high above Antarctica caught a weird signal Designed to capture the radio spurts of cosmic rays falling from above, in 2006 the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna recorded a short pulse of radio waves from below – an event that looked like an upside-down shower of cosmic rays, not bouncing off the surface, but emanating from under the ice sheet
