    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.

      Why are you letting facts come in between the truth?

      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.
