Lorimer Burst (FRB 010724) (2007)

Discovered in 2007 by Duncan Lorimer, this intense millisecond radio burst appeared in archived data from the Parkes radio telescope. Originating far beyond our galaxy, its brief, powerful emission defied immediate explanation, earning it the name "Lorimer Burst." As the first recognized Fast Radio Burst (FRB), it opened a new field of astronomy, sparking ongoing debate about its source, which ranges from neutron stars to speculative extraterrestrial origins.
