Hubble Finds... Something

Its spectrum was like nothing ever seen, write the discoverers

https://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/newsblog/28244844.html
Don't get the idea that we've found every kind of astronomical object there is in the universe. In a paper to appear in the Astrophysical Journal, astronomers working on the Supernova Cosmology Project report finding a new kind of something that they cannot make any sense of.

 		My guess is that it's probably an advanced alien species that has detected the Hubble telescope pointing at them and interpreted it as a hostile act.

The phenomenon we're observing is simply the retaliatory flash from their intergalactic super weapon.

 		The strange readings were the faster-than-light beam of the super-mega-death weapon hitting the telescope mirror, only the HST focussed and reflected the beam back to source, instantly vaporising their entire planet.
