These are "unconfirmed", "possible" technosignatures. They did not repeat. No one is interested in devoting limited JWST observing time to them. Too premature.Are any of these apparent signal sources on the James Webb observation list? If not, why not?
I understand the need for the signature to "repeat" but is that a valid measure? Our television broadcasts travel through space as do other emissions. Would an intelligence from a distant galaxy conducting searches, studies as we are here see those emissions from our solar system as "repeating"? I think if we're really serious in discovery of intelligent life out there we should limit ourself to strict definitions.These are "unconfirmed", "possible" technosignatures. They did not repeat.
