More than three decades after receiving the famous Wow! signal, humanity is finally sending its answer to what may be an alien civilization, according to news reports.
The National Geographic channel recently revealed a plan to collect messages from the general public via Twitter and beam it to outer space. All tweets tagged with the hashtag
#ChasingUFOs from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. on June 30 GMT will be combined into a single encrypt message.
The message will be sent out on August 15, exactly 35 years after the Wow! signal was received.
The television channel will work with Arecibo Observatory to encrypt the message, which will focus on a “complex but noticeable pattern, hopefully standing out from other random, natural noise,”
said its spokeswoman Kristin Montalbano. She said the message is likely to be in binary phase code, which uses 0s and 1s.
The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while he was working on a Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence project
at the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University. The astounded astronomer scrawled “Wow!” next to the data on a computer printout, giving the 72-second signal its name.
The Wow! signal garnered huge media attention, but it has not been detected again to this day. Its source still remains a mystery.
