Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

And so again, it's just like a freak accident of nature kind of thing that we just happened to hear.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

That's what that theory is kind of saying.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

But all in all, over 100 studies have been conducted over the same region of sky.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

No answers have ever been like fully agreed upon.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

There's obviously leading theories.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Right.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

But nothing has proven what this signal is.

Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

And of course, it's never been heard again.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Damn.

Red Web

So despite that and despite the fact that we held on to this theory because we thought it's not there's not much meat on the bone here.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

So maybe we hold on.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Yes, the rarity of all these things that might have happened coalescing to make this one signal that we happen to hear, yeah, it's wild.

Red Web

And yeah, when you really distill it down, powerful signal sent from space, was it aliens?

Red Web

And then most people go, ah, no, there's no aliens.

What I thought was really interesting, and this is kind of the take that I wanted to go, is understanding a little bit of the science underneath it all to really express and impress upon you why it is the wow signal, why it has the wow factor.

Red Web

Because once you understand that, it kind of shifts the conversation.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

It shifts your lens from what is my personal belief to wow.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Whoa, there is a lot more possibility going on around this natural and otherwise behind it.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

And so I think once we kind of settled into that angle, I think it made a lot more sense to kind of approach again, but.

As we come to an end on the WOW signal, Task Force, as always, share your theories on our Discord channel.
