The Wow! Signal

Deep in an archive in Columbus, Ohio, there’s a slip of paper with a bunch of random-looking letters and numbers printed on it called the ‘Wow’ signal.

It is the beginning of the slowest chat. Ever.

"Aye fam, what's up"

*thousands of years later our reply gets there*

"Lol srry, I was asleep"

[LilypondMovie]

"Hey we got a signal that has a decent possibility of being from aliens"
"Sweet! Let's wait 35 years to send a reply."

Wow signal has to be my favourite. It's kinda simple and pure. Just a guy getting really excited at the possibility of aliens. there is no secret govenment coverup story, no massive conspiracy like with most alien contact stories. Just the idea of contact with some other living forms.

I wonder how aliens will react when they find out Earth won the miss universe contest like 50 times and they didn't at all.

So even if there were intelligent beings out there it would take 34, 000 years to hear anything from them... Things like that make me loathe the short lifespan of humans.

Damn imagine if it was a SOS signal from an alien space ship warning us from an impending danger that could wipe out all intelligent life in the Milky Way galaxy 0-0

Yeah sorry I have been playing a lot of Mass Effect lately...

The aliens might have been sending us some important knowledge and we responded by sending Tweets.

We're all doomed.

Imagine finally getting an answer back from space and it’s a video of Stephen colbert

[Felixkeeg]

Such signal, much strength, very frequency, wow!
... sorry I couldn't resist

[thesocraticgolem]

3:14 Hope they don't send that photo of Colbert. it'll scare the crap out of the aliens.

[aphrog]

"wow signal" sounds like something doge would say

[letzsee]

This makes this want to watch Contact again ;)

[gigabic]

I much prefer the alternative name to the wow signal, "yowzers"

In "1420", there's "42" oO

[JabberCT]

Is it my PC, or is her black dress animated with pixels?

[dijjit]

What if the Aliens were actually replying to an advanced civilization on Earth 34, 000 years ago?

[nomanmcshmoo]

"Helmsman! One ping on the Hydrogen Line and one ping only!"
"Aye!Aye!, Sir! One ping on the Hydrogen Line!"

In what kind of hurry, this lady was? She probably speaking 99% of the speed of light.😄
