ALIEN SIGNAL FROM DEEP SPACE: IT SPOKE ONCE, THEN DISAPPEARED In 1977, a 72-second signal from deep space slammed into Earth’s sensors so hard it fried the system. Scientists named it the WOW Signal because “WTF” wasn’t allowed in official reports. It came from literally nothing - no stars, no planets, just pitch-black nothingness. Fast forward to 2017: a private telescope hears something almost identical - but this time, it’s structured. Data. Patterns. A message? 4 hours later, the telescope goes dark. The signal? Deleted.
