    "abstract": "The modified Lorentz transformation of a distance-dependent special theory of\nrelativity - which will be briefly summarized - predicts the possibility of\nsuperluminal velocity of very distantly moving material bodies to be connected\nwith the generation of Cerencov radiation off the quantum vacuum. It is shown\nthat vacuum Cerencov radiation due to the superluminal propagation of\nextraterrestrial spaceprobes in the interstellar space would account for all\nknown properties of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and the \"afterglow\" at lower\nfrequencies. Distances and other parameter prove to be calculable and the\ntheoretical results on these grounds to be in good accord with experiment.",
