No, but I'm not above irresponsible speculation.  Hmm..
I think the clue is that the discovery is "an object". That would rule out something like dark matter, I would think.
I guess that they've found evidence of a black hole.

How about a dark matter black hole that produces negative gravity and Higgs Bosons and is a magnetic monopole?

"This bursting pulsar was later found by Dr. Mark Finger of the Universities Space Research Association at NASA Marshall to be a member of a binary system, performing one full revolution around its low-mass companion every 12 days. "The most likely explanation at this time is that the bursts of X- ray energy may result when the lighter of the pair of stars loses its material by gravitational or magnetic forces to the neutron star," said Kouveliotou."
If this scenario is true, then sometime in the future we might witness a very powerful event as the mass of the neutron star reaches the Chandrasekhar limit and collapes into a black hole

bursting pulsar is my guess too, God or Elvis probably not...if they used Chandra to find it ,it has to emitting massive X-rays........

Can this get "moon crickets shipped off the Earth?"... what a hoot. I think that guy threw them off a bit, and they didn't recognize it as a joke. 
Hopefully they've blocked that guys number from now on.
