New 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.

Scientists issue warning over concerning phenomenon observed in Antarctica: 'Understanding their future patterns is crucial'
A new study forecasts that the frequency of atmospheric rivers in Antarctica will increase dramatically while the precipitation they produce skyrockets. What's happening? Atmospheric rivers are like rivers in the sky, long and narrow regions of the atmosphere that can carry the equivalent of "the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Researchers in Antarcti…
What is behind the mysterious radio signals from Antarctica? Neither neutrinos nor dark matter seem to be the explanation – but what then?
