#3. The “Wow!” Signal – Did Aliens Try to Contact Us?
🌌 On August 15, 1977, something extraordinary happened.
Astronomer Jerry Ehman was scanning deep space with a massive radio telescope when he picked up a signal that no one has ever been able to explain.
​
📡 The Details of the Mysterious “Wow!” Signal:
-
It lasted exactly 72 seconds—far too long to be random static.
-
It came from deep space, near the constellation Sagittarius.
-
The signal had a perfectly structured frequency, meaning it wasn’t a natural sound like a pulsar or black hole.
​
What makes it even stranger? It was never detected again.
​
😨 What Could It Mean?
🚀 Some believe it was an intelligent message from extraterrestrials, but if so, why didn’t they send another one?
📢 Skeptics suggest it was a glitch, but no similar glitches have ever been recorded.
​
After nearly 50 years, scientists still have no explanation for the Wow! Signal. Could it have been our first missed call from aliens?
