TL;DR:
A black hole accretion disks' emissions appear to synchronously evoke gamma ray pulses from a gas cloud 100 light years away.
The current (inconclusive) idea is, quoting:
"Energetically, the outflow from the disc could be as powerful as that of the jets and is believed to precess in solidarity with the rest of the system." (Torres)
