    A bit of over exaggerating in the title (as per usual.) The frequency used is one that we would consider a good candidate for listening for alien signals.

    That doesn’t mean the wow signal had anything to do with extra terrestrial technology.

    The article is decent, and covers a bit of the tech used in the radio telescope, but the parts about the alien signals are just pure speculation.

        It’s too late I’ve already told everyone I know about this and asked them to spread the word

      There is no non-intelligent actor explanation for it known at this time that accounts for the data. Which leaves us with 3 options

      1. Someone was breaking the rules and breaking the rules in a really weird way.

      2. Something happens in astronomy which we don’t yet understand

      3. Aliens

      Now I don’t think 3 is very likely, at all. Especially the way the events happened.
