Hypothesis: The radio and X-ray pulses occur at the same time at the star but the interstellar media transmits radio and X-rays at a slightly different rates so the X-ray and radio pulses are out of phase by the time they reach the earth.

Could this be a signal from an alien civilization? Has anyone tried to decode it?

(I know it sounds ridiculous but that's the premise behind SETI, right? And we really should keep an open mind with these kind of things)
