What to inspect next
Why the signal is high
This case has multiple accessible sources, a durable visual record, recurring anniversary coverage, and a clear unresolved residue: the later light row is explainable, while the earlier formation accounts are harder to reconstruct cleanly.
Case Verdict
Best current interpretation
Strongly supported
Wikipedia provides source material for Fast Radio Burst 121102.
Likely explained
This case still needs a stronger dedicated debunk source; current interpretation should remain conservative until better analysis is attached.
Still unresolved
Which primary or official sources should anchor the case record?
Fast Radio Burst 121102 is real as an archive topic, but the current page is a starter assessment pending stronger independent sourcing.
