A good opportunity to ask: What does everyone here think the Wow signal was? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal

I know it's just speculation, but it's fun to speculate. What could it have been? Could any natural phenomena generate a signal like that?

It certainly wasn't a message aimed at us, or anything like that. But it did happen, so I can't help but wonder what it likely was.

Nice find, looks like it's still a mystery.
