A few days ago, the Chinese state media announced that one of their state-of-the-art radio telescopes may have picked up signs of alien life.
The telescope in question, Sky Eye, is the world's largest radio telescope. It picks up electromagnetic signals, and these were different than any they had seen before.
An extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Berkley was cited in the report.
Chief scientist Zhang Tonjie said that the narrow-band electromagnetic signals detected were different from all others previously captured, and the team was further investigating them.
The article was quickly deleted, but had already started trending on the Chinese social media network Weibo and was beginning to get coverage from other media outlets.

"...several cases of possible technological traces and extraterrestrial civilizations from outside the earth".
Report released by the extraterrestrial civilization search team
In 2020, the team picked up two sets of compelling signals while analyzing data gathered in 2019. This year, they found another signal while examining exoplanets.
It's unclear why the report was deleted, but why remove all traces of the report if it wasn't a bombshell?
