There have been a number of odd and bizarre theories for quasi-stellar radio sources, or "quasars". The current hypothesis is that they surround black holes in the centers of active galaxies.

In fact, we suspect that our own Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole in the center, and that it may once have been an "active galaxy". If so, that explains why there are no ancient aliens in the galaxy; the radiation would have killed them all billions of years ago!

Quasars are produced by the friction in the accretion disk surrounding a black hole and we believe that there are supermassive black holes at the center of not just our own galaxy but the center of all galaxies.
