[00:00:00]An asteroid just sent out a signal, and for a moment, scientists thought it might be artificial.

[00:00:06]Astronomers have detected strange radio bursts coming from objects near Earth before, and one signal was so unusual, it triggered serious investigation. But, the explanation may be even stranger.

[00:00:15]Some asteroids are packed with [music] metal. As they spin, they can bend, reflect, and distort radio waves in unexpected ways. And that's what makes signals like this unsettling. In deep space, the difference between natural and artificial can become dangerously unclear. So, if a real artificial signal reached Earth tomorrow, would we even recognize it? Or have we already heard something and ignored it?
