Abstract :
Further consideration of the data obtained during observations on interstellar interference has shown that these radiations are received any time the antenna system is directed towards some part of the Milky Way system, the greatest response being obtained when the antenna points towards the center of the system. This fact leads to the conclusion that the source of these radiations is located in the stars themselves or in the interstellar matter distributed throughout the Milky Way. Because of the similarity in the sound produced in the receiver headset, it is suggested that these radiations might be due to the thermal agitation of charged particles.
