The universe being what it is, and the laws of physics being what they are, it would be more surprising not to receive this sort of stuff.

You mean a signal on a frequency that is used for communication with sattellites because there is no natural activity on that frequency. And one on a narrow band as a bonus? I would expect it to be more human origin. Things might get interesting if they can rule that out.

Really? How do you know?

Not that we could not be surprised, but I would pick a frequency that's out of the way of the local natural fusion reactor in the solar system. And, to a lesser degree, also to avoid any interaction of that fusion reactor with planets' atmospheres.

That, or someone yelling "Keep quiet! They are spying on us again!"
After all, they might already know that we have an Empire. And a Federation, Death Stars, Terminators, Jedi, Sith. All of that might be heading their way if we notice them.

Sort of a play on:

Bad girls go everywhere.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If she's bad? By that logic they all would be ... Wait...

I've been having trouble with my NAS recently, most noticeably on my Surface, and I've assumed it was the recent Win10 update causing yet more fun-and-games with SMB1 devices.
It'll be fine, then the share drops off, or the NAS disappears from the Network list, and watching videos via my VR headset has been ... um .. difficult, with pauses, and black areas, and so on.
But ... I have no idea why, but I checked the Sky box and somehow it's using the same IP as the NAS: 192.168.0.11
Which shouldn't be possible, given they are both on the same router, albeit Sky via WiFi and NAS via CAT5. Only I can access the NAS setup page on 192.168.0.11 from a browser via wire or WiFi ... 
Find the Skybox MAC, unplug it, add a router rule to switch it to 192.168.0.99 so it's well and truly out of the way and ... everything looks like it works again, and runs smoother and faster.
Except my Amazon Fire TV stick, which is still running like a stunned slug on Mogadon moving through treacle. But it's seven years old, so I can kinda forgive that: nobody thinks about old devices when they update software these days - a new one will be here today and that should fix that anyway.
But that's very odd - how the heck did they get - and keep! - the same IP addresses? Dunno, and probably never will find out.

I used to reserve static addresses for certain devices and then everything else sat higher up.
e.g keep 192.168.1.1-10 for main PC, Nas, etc and then have the rest sit on 11 and up in the pool.

So do I - the router uses static addresses for everything I know the MAC of - which didn't include the Sky box because I forgot about it when I set up the new router a few months back.
To be honest I forgot it was connected to WiFi, so it presumably picked up the connection details from WPS when I did something else.

I had an issue were devices stopped working/ dropping / disconnecting. Couldn't for the life of me work out what was going on.
Eventually twigged that the WAP point I had put in my daughter's room was also serving up IPs, so 2 DHCP were fighting with each other and caused chaos.
It was a week before I caught on to what the hell was happening.

The obvious (pardon me):
1. Make sure the dynamic DHCP range does not overlap your static IP's.
2. Make sure they don't have the same MAC (I know, supposedly impossible).
3. Bury a dead chicken in the back yard.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
