You point that at someone, they might explode.

I don't know, but that's what we're going to talk about here.

Okay.

In August of 2024, there was a team led by Abel Mendez of the Arecibo WOW project

This project focused on the search for transient radio signals similar to the WOW signal.

That was what they were after.

The signal was so unique, so interesting that this project focused entirely on discovering radio signals like it.

They themselves, like I said, in August 2024, published a new hypothesis featuring a new natural explanation.

They suggest that the signal was the result of a hydrogen maser flare.

I'm going to break this down for you, but I have a visual aid that I think will communicate way better than what I'm about to break down.

So go ahead and take a look at image F as we have it, Fredo.

But again, a maser is a microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

In essence, they theorize that there was a massive cloud of cold hydrogen somewhere in space that may have been energized by a powerful energy source, something like a magnetar or star formation or a shockwave emanating through space.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, something that would be super, super rare to happen.

And if you haven't heard of a magnetar, they're almost as scary as pulsars.

They're essentially a city sized neutron star, like with the density of a star, but the size of New York City.

And it has an immense magnetic field.

And for whatever reason, a magnetar, for example, could have emanated energy enough to pummel this cold hydrogen gas in space, which would then make it go up, up, up, up, up,

And then the hydrogen being energized would then emit at the 1420 megahertz bandwidth because it's being energized.
