    I have in the past observed short duration pulses that I tried to stir
    some interest in looking for.

    http://129.79.46.40/~foxd/cdrom/musings/unusual/pulse/pulse.htm

    The ones I observed seem to be in the direction of the galactic core,
    which would imply that they occurred within the galaxy. Still, I think
    looking for short duration pulses would be a good idea.
