In the summer of 1977, at the Ohio State University, Jerry Ehman, was volunteering as a researcher reviewing radio data obtained from a radio telescope. Jerry observes data that he has not seen before. The signal makes no sense – it is suspiciously strong and appears to have travelled from the constellation known as Sagittarius. He picks up a red pen, circles that data, and writes next to it, “W O W”, the wow signal is born.
