Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team said that China’s Sky Eye is extremely sensitive in the low-frequency radio band and plays a critical role in the search for alien civilizations.
In the report, he added that the signals may be “some kind of radio interference” that requires further investigation.
