Mobile phones are so ubiquitous that we no longer think about how they work. The key to their operation is the sheer number of radio transmission towers. These cell towers cover a large percentage of the earth’s surface, especially in densely populated areas, and they constantly transmit microwave signals. Considering that all these cell towers are emitting all these radio signals, it’s a funny question whether these signals can be detected by an alien civilization.…

This object was accidentally filmed while shooting the surroundings of the village and was also not immediately noticed on the video.
