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

And it's, oh, it's a gift.

Red Web

So the largest argument for this case is the shear force strength signal, and the fact that it has never been recreated and never seen ever again.

Even when looking back at that point in the sky, it has never been picked up again.

However, some could argue that if extraterrestrial civilizations were trying to contact us, we would see this phenomenon multiple times.

And so the fact that we haven't heard it again has made some people question it and make them go, well, maybe it is a rare natural occurrence that happened one time.

But again, if I call a restaurant trying to make a reservation for me and the wife, they don't pick up.

When you don't get answered on, maybe you don't call back again.

So a terrible, terrible metaphor.

Because, again, they also have the infinite 360 degree view all around them.

Maybe they're going blast over that way, blast over that way, blast.

Red Web

It's like, who's to say that they would know that we're any one direction?

Red Web

We're sending signals out into space.

Maybe it is caught, but we didn't know it was caught because it's hundreds of years down the line.
