So when do we start building the giant gyroscope to send Jody Foster through some wormholes? :) Joking aside, this is the first that I have read about any signals being unidentified in origin and not having an explaination other than ET's. Why isn't this bigger news here in the USA? I am hesitant to trust this information due to their own use of language like, "perhaps the WOW! signal." Is the bbc turning into the UK'S version of our "History" channel?
- SL61 12y agoThe Wow! signal is pretty well known, and is called that because the astronomer who saw it wrote "Wow!" on the printout. It's not quite as unexplained as the BBC article suggests, but none of the possible explanations are completely verified. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal#Speculation_on_the_signal.27s_origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal#Speculation_on_the_...
- andyrj 12y agoI remembered hearing of the signal but thought it still had other plausible explainations. You are right the article does make it seem like everything but ET's is off the board, or atleat thats how I read it. Thanks for clarifying.
