Signal, a mysterious burst of radio energy detected by Ohio State University’s Big Ear Radio Telescope on August 15, 1977. Lasting just 72 seconds, the signal was exceptionally strong, extremely narrow-band, and broadcast at the precise frequency associated with hydrogen—the most abundant element in the universe and a logical “universal channel.” Astronomer Jerry Ehman circled the spike of data on a printout and wrote “Wow!” in the margin, giving the signal its legendary name. Despite repeated attempts to locate it again, the Wow! Signal has never been detected a second time. Scientists have debated its origin for d...

Witnesses described a blinding fireball, a sky that "split in two," and shockwaves strong enough to knock people off their feet hundreds of kilometers away. Yet no crater and no fragments were ever found.
