It’s August 15, 1977. Astrophysicist Jerry Ehman is scanning the cosmos with his radio telescope at the University of Ohio. It is connected to a 100 meter long antenna used by the SETI project, whose goal is to listen to the cosmos in the hopes of discovering a message of alien origin. Glancing briefly at the data printout, the astrophysicist is shocked by what he sees. A few minutes earlier, at exactly 11:16 pm, a strong radio signal was captured. Ehman is so surprised that he even writes the word ‘Wow!’ in the margin. Did this signal really come from somewhere else? And if it did, from where? #ufo
