The 1977 Signal NASA Still Cannot ExplainIndexed:
On August 15th, 1977, a radio telescope in Ohio picked up a 72-second signal from deep space. It came from the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. Thirty times stronger than background noise. On the exact frequency NASA had predicted aliens might use to contact us. The astronomer circled it in red ink and wrote one word beside it: "Wow." For nearly 50 years, every telescope on Earth has scanned that same patch of sky. Comets — ruled out. Satellites — ruled out. Earth interference — ruled out. The signal has never returned.
