And just three years ago somebody said with the same amount of confidence that it was a comet: https://phys.org/news/2017-06-wow-mystery-space.html https://phys.org/news/2017-06-wow-mystery-space.html I think that if a person goes looking hard enough for the answer they want, they'll find it.

At least the comet hypothesis has some actual data to back it up, and the data matches the Wow! data. This current one assumes the signal must be from intelligent life and found a candidate that might possibly have intelligent life that might possibly have caused the Wow! signal, with no explanation for why said (possibly existing) intelligent life has not caused any additional signals since then. At least the comet explanation offers an explanation that fits the facts.
