It's probably a Quasar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar

The first quasars (3C 48 and 3C 273) were discovered in the late 1950s, as radio sources in all-sky radio surveys.

IIRC, some (or most) emit radio waves periodically as well. Cool find, none-the-less.

This phenomenon, never before observed in space,

Until 1932 when Radio Telescopes were invented and these phenomenons have been being observed ever since.
