“There are a number of potential candidate particles that could account for the results from ANITA,” Geraint Lewis, an astrophysicist at the University of Sydney, told CNET.
Pfft, talking out of his hat, this bloke.

But not everyone is convinced.
“There are a number of potential candidate particles that could account for the results from ANITA,” Geraint Lewis, an astrophysicist at the University of Sydney, told CNET.
“While parallel universes sound exciting and sexy when discussing the ANITA signal, alternative ideas are still on the table.”

Oh, that’s been known about for decades.
We called it “NSW Railways’‘.
Who’s ANITA when she’s at home, some relative of AMANDA?
Sort of, but AMANDA is a major player, ANITA is just a balloon experiment.
“Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) researchers used a giant balloon to get electronic antennas high into the cold, dry air above Antarctica to identify cosmic-ray showers. What we saw is something that looked just like a cosmic ray as seen in the reflection of the ice sheet, but it wasn’t reflected. It was as if the cosmic ray had come out of the ice itself. A very strange thing.”
Be nice if it was Mark Datter. Don’t expect so though.

It wasn’t a cosmic ray.
It was a signal from the secret Antarctic base shared between the aliens, the Nazis who escaped after WW2, and the Illuminati.

I was going to ask for hypotheses, but I see you have that covered.
> ANITA, during flights in 2006 and 2014, identified a fountain of high-energy particles emitting from the ice that resembles an ‘upside-down cosmic-ray shower’. This discovery was earlier dismissed as background noises, suggests a report by Newshub.co. But, an investigation in 2016 revealed that it was a phenomenon resembling an upside-down cosmic-ray shower. The discoveries suggest that signals came from upward-moving particles that tunnelled through the earth before erupting from the ice. But cosmic rays are not predicted to do that (in large numbers).
So, what the heck could be going on here?
One possibility is that the Earth generates cosmic rays. Or that a cosmic ray from a distant source blasted right through the Earth
The first of those is not necessarily impossible with existing physics. Suppose the Earth contains a micro primordial black hole. Then swallowing matter could generate a cosmic ray. But extremely unlikely that such an even wouldn’t be blocked by the Earth’s bedrock.
A cosmic ray from a distant source, keeping up the existing physics it would have to be electrically neutral – not an electron, proton or alpha particle for instance. Candidates could include a neutron, muon, tau, or one of the neutrinos. Unlikely to be a neutron, too easily stopped. Muons penetrate further. A muon can easily penetrate through a kilometre of bedrock. But further than that?
A tau has a small lifetime. Tau leptons have a lifetime of 2.9×10−13 s. The muon is an unstable subatomic particle with a mean lifetime of 2.2×10−6 s, ten million times longer than the tau.I think we can rule out taus.
Neutrinos can easily pass through the Earth, but would be very unlikely to generate a cosmic ray shower, wouldn’t it? Perhaps not.
Moving beyond standard physics, the most obvious candidate would be the neutralino, a hypothetical type of heavy neutrino and possible candidate for dark matter. The second most obvious candidate beyond the standard model would be the axion, a lightweight dark matter contender. Searches for both neutralinos and axions have so far drawn a blank.

ANITA is a balloon-borne experiment that attempts to turn an entire continent, Antarctica, into a gigantic neutrino telescope. The experiment is searching for the characteristic radio chirps which would indicate a neutrino interacting in the ice below.
In addition to in-ice neutrino interactions the experiment is sensitive to the interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and possibly tau neutrinos.
How would the parallel universe in reverse even work?
Why wouldn’t this event be 27.6 billion years ago in the other universe?

New explanation for Antarctic mystery doesn’t need “parallel universe”
Headlines all over the internet lately have been screaming about how scientists in Antarctica have discovered evidence of a parallel universe where time runs backwards. While we seriously wish that was true, a new study has put forward a more realistic explanation.
The story starts with a hook that would make any sci-fi writer jealous – in a remote research station in Antarctica, scientists picked up two anomalies in their experiment. They were looking for cosmic rays, so naturally they were focused on the skies above them. But nobody expected to spot two signals coming from below them, spontaneously bursting out of the ground and shooting upwards into the sky.
Scientists were understandably perplexed, and no less than 40 papers were published outlining possible explanations. Some proposed that these were indications of the long-sought dark matter. Others suggested sterile neutrinos, another elusive hypothetical particle, were to blame.
Those are pretty out-there ideas, but one in particular took the proverbial cake. It suggests that these anomalies are evidence of a universe that’s a mirror image of our own, made of antimatter, where time runs backwards.
The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment is a set of radio antennas attached to a high altitude balloon, which floats about 23 mi (37 km) above Antarctica. At that isolated altitude, the project is looking for high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos as they stream in from deep space.
ANITA has been doing that since 2006, but in 2016 and again in 2018 it picked up two unexpected signals. These had all the hallmarks of high-energy neutrinos – except they weren’t coming from space. They appeared to be shooting up out of the Antarctic ice far below.
Instead, the researchers say that the most likely explanation is that the signals did come from the sky above ANITA after all. They started off as high-energy cosmic rays falling from the sky, which then reflected off the snow and bounced signals back up to ANITA’s sensors.
“We think sub-surface firn is the culprit,” says Ian Shoemaker, an author of the study. “Firn is something between snow and glacial ice. It’s compacted snow that’s not quite dense enough to be ice. So, you can have density inversions, with ranges where you go from high density back to low density, and those crucial sorts of interfaces where this reflection can happen and could explain these events.”
A variation on that idea, the team says, is that the signal didn’t reflect off firn but sub-glacial lakes. It’s thought that these lakes would be spread too far apart to create the effect seen, but the team says that perhaps there are more of them down there than we currently know about.
