14m | Oct 23, 2026In nineteen seventy-seven, a radio telescope detected a strong signal from deep space, at exactly the frequency scientists expected aliens to use. It lasted seventy-two seconds and never came back. This is the true history of a mystery we have never solved.
On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Wow! Signal: the one word an astronomer scrawled in the margin, the alien hypothesis that cannot be proven, the mundane explanations that do not quite fit, and the hard discipline of holding a genuine mystery open.
