#17: The “Wow!” Signal (Ohio, 1977)
In 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman recorded a strong 72-second radio signal from space at Ohio State University’s Big Ear telescope. He circled the printout and wrote “Wow!” in the margin. Despite countless theories—from aliens to natural phenomena—the signal has never been explained or repeated, making it one of SETI’s great mysteries.
