"There are other possibilities for a wide-band signal such as this, and they’re caused by natural sources (or even terrestrial interference)."[1]
And "the signal is in a military frequency band, and that it could have been a satellite downlink, implying that some such systems may be kept secret and therefore would be unknown to SETI scientists." [1]

- dogma1138 10y agoIf it was military and it was a downlink signal you could be able to decode it to some extent they are still using pretty standard protocols. 11Ghz is in the Ku Band, it's not uncommon in civilian use for both terrestrial and non-terrestrial transmissions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_band But yeah it certainly looks like equipment malfunction or maybe a rogue signal.
