The WOW Signal Has Been Solved or Has It?? The infamous WOW signal has now been solved its turns out the signal was just comets, Antonio Paris a UFO researcher and investigator now also a Professor of Astronomy put the theory forward a year or two ago, just this year he was able to carry out tests to prove the theory as the comets would be passing by where the first signal was detected. here's a link to the data. WOW Signal and theres a PDF that goes into detail with all the Science behind it at this link HYDROGEN LINE OBSERVATIONS OF COMETARY SPECTRA AT 1420 MHZ Edit: Seth Shostak of SETI has responded to Antonio Paris's theory of Comets being the "WOW" Signal, see below.

uforn, I read an article about this last year but nothing definitive at that time. So another alien story is solved. I am beginning to suspect most if not all stories will end this way. Still...

uforn, I read an article about this last year but nothing definitive at that time. So another alien story is solved. I am beginning to suspect most if not all stories will end this way. Still... Hi Ron, I linked you to the article, as I recall it I told you about Antonio Paris's theory on the "WOW" signal being comets, you didn't believe me and demanded I provide evidence. However that is now in the past and we now know for sure that the "WOW" signal was indeed comets. What gets me most about this discovery is not the fact the signal has turned out to be comets, it is the fact that other Astronomers (SETI) have looked for answers to the "WOW" signal for decades and found nothing. Why didn't they check the data ? If they knew comets had a signature of 1420 MHZ why didn't they check to see if any were passing by when they detected the signal ?. SETI should be ashamed of themselves if you ask me.

uforn. I bow to your superior intellect!Excellent call! I agree seti dropped the ball on this one. ron I don't know about that haha But there has been an interesting turn of events on this "WOW" signal being Comets with a response to Antonio Paris's theory by non other than SETI's Seth Shostak, who does not believe the "WOW" signal was caused by Comets. Quote: In the article which I will link to on the SETI website Seth Shostak goes on to explain how the Big Ear Telescope has 2 feeds that are 70 seconds apart and that if it were Comets the Telescope would have picked the signal up a second time but as we all know that was not the case. Quote: SOURCE: Was it ET on the line? Or just a comet?So as you can see from what Ive posted and everything else that Seth Shostak has said on the SETI Website Seth Shostak - Was it ET on the line? Or just a comet? the "WOW Signal was NOT Comets.

Ok. So who is to be believed? The "...two feeds..." scenario is interesting at first glance, but why wait until now to bring up the two feeds issue?

That's a good question, I have heard of the two feeds before I don't think that's ever been a secret just forgotten as time has gone on, as to who is to be believed I think I am going to have to go with Seth Shostak who is a veteran when it comes to SETI and the search for life in the Universe. Antonio Paris is a new Professor of Astronomy and only been around in the field for a very short time. So yes I'm with Shostak, what puzzled me about the whole Comets being the signal was that they would be picking these signals up all the time as Comets are very common so to speak. It will be interesting to see if anything else comes from this.

So in other words, there should be hundreds of WOW signals.
