Fast Radio Bursts are exactly what they sound like. They're highly energetic bursts of radio waves that last mere milliseconds. And they're totally random.

Because of how elusive they are, scientists are still trying to explain this weird phenomena. But thanks to new telescopes like CHIME in Canada, we're getting closer to the solution to this science mystery.

FRBs are random and hard to catch, and theories for what causes them have literally outnumbered the number of FRBs found at one point. Explanations for FRBs include colliding neutron stars or colliding black holes, burping magnetars, neutron stars being jostled by nearby black holes, supernovas, and, of course, aliens.
