US EditionNew PUEO Detector to Probe ANITA's Unexplained Antarctic Radio Pulses
- Between 2016 and 2018, NASA's ANITA experiment detected unusual radio pulses from Antarctica at steep angles below the ice surface.
- The detected signals seemed to originate from deep beneath the Earth's surface, which contradicts current physics, as they should have been absorbed after passing through thousands of kilometers of rock.
- Researchers analyzed over 7.6 million cosmic events across 15 years using multiple detectors and mathematical models but found no conventional explanation for the anomalous signals.
- Dr. Stephanie Wissel of Penn State described the phenomenon as a persistent puzzle, expressing optimism that flying PUEO will enhance detection capabilities and help shed light on these unexplained signals.
- The findings, published in Physical Review Letters on March 27, 2025, imply physics-breaking particles likely do not exist, but the new PUEO detector may clarify the unusual signals.

What is behind the mysterious radio signals from Antarctica? Neither neutrinos nor dark matter seem to be the explanation – but what then?
Wild Theories About Bizarre Radio Signals Coming From Antarctica Debunked By Scientists -- But Mystery Remains
Strange radio signals detected by a balloon-borne antenna over Antarctica sparked wild theories about physics-defying particles. Now, the world's largest cosmic ray detector has delivered a reality check that could deflate those exotic explanations. The post Wild Theories About Bizarre Radio Signals Coming From Antarctica Debunked By Scientists — But Mystery Remains appeared first on Study Finds.
Strange radio pulses detected coming from ice in Antarctica
A cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has emitted a series of bizarre signals that defy the current understanding of particle physics, according to an international research group that includes scientists from Penn State. The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect radio waves from cosmic rays …
Mysterious radio signals just tore through Antarctic ice. They could be coming from edge of universe
Strange radio signals that moved upwards from Earth were detected by a probe flying over Antarctica. Mysterious forces were likely at play here, or the signals were coming from deep space.
