Scientists have pinpointed the origin of the signal and they credit it to gaseous hydrogen.
The signal is associated with a specific wavelength called the 21-centrimetre line – a.k.a. the "hydrogen line" – which is emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. Up until now, researchers have only picked up signals on the 21-centimetre line that have come from much closer – and thereby more recently formed – galaxies.
The telescope was able to pick up the distant signal because it was bent by another galaxy located between the signal and the telescope, researchers said. "This effectively results in the magnification of the signal by a factor of 30, allowing the telescope to pick it up," said Nirupam Roy, co-author of the study and an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Science."

😂🤣😂🤣😂
Sounds like an attempt to get some increased funding and notoriety.
😁you may be right, perhaps sometimes the old tricks are the best. 😉
