The Scariest Signal Ever Received From Spaceπ³! #space #whatif #earth #spacefactsAdded:
In 1977, a scientist suddenly detected a signal from deep space so strange he circled it and wrote [music] one word beside it.
Wow.
The signal was unbelievably powerful. It came from a part of space where nothing should exist. And for 72 [music] seconds, it completely overwhelmed NASA's radio telescope.
But here's the terrifying part.
The signal matched what scientists expected [music] an alien transmission might look like.
Then suddenly it vanished.
And despite searching for decades, >> [music] >> humanity never found it again.
To this day, nobody knows who or what sent [music] the Wow signal.
And some scientists believe whatever sent it may already know we heard it.
