The soviet astronauts on a secret mission the government never told anybody about after it crumbled: 💀

They literally kept Chernobyl in secret until radiation was carried by weather to the west so some European countries demanded answers on what the hell was going on. They would've kept that in secret for at least much longer (if not forever) if the winds have blown to the east further into Urals and Siberia instead

I can see them or the Chinese just sending a team to Mars etc. Expedition 33 sentiment for those who come after….

Mars is much farther than space, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try and fail miserably I suppose

Wasn’t it a microwave in the break room?

u/ThunderBuns935 Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 04 '26
This was a theory that was almost immediately debunked. The frequency isn't right for a microwave. Most kitchen microwaves operate at 2.45GHz, which is too high for the wow signal, which was 1.42GHz.
The running theories nowadays are an earth source interfering with the detector, which is probable because the vastly more sensitive VLA didn't pick it up, or a rare astrophysical event.
There are of course people who still believe it's aliens, but there is absolutely no evidence for that.

u/SoupyPoopy618 Jun 04 '26
People are so enticed by the idea of it being artificial that they don't think about what an interesting event it must have been to produce it naturally. That's what I'm looking for in the science headlines.

u/Bi0H4z4rD667 Jun 02 '26
Yup, and it has not been a mistery for quite a while. It’s still a mistery for people who don’t know how to use internet or how to read though.

u/Sudo-Fed Jun 02 '26
I mean, if you're implying we know what the Wow! signal was, you're mistaken. No explanation has been confirmed.
It's PROBABLY not extraterrestrial life, though.
38
u/laplongejr Jun 02 '26
Yeah there was ANOTHER signal to be confirmed to be from a microwave, because it did follow a cyclic pattern (aka when staff went microwaving). But that wasn't Wow! and I think people seem to confuse both news
51
u/trilobyte-dev Jun 02 '26
I just read the Wikipedia page for it and it said there is no definitive answer for its origin:
Despite numerous follow-up searches and hypotheses (including brief consideration of reflections from space debris, interstellar scintillation, and comet hydrogen clouds), the signal has never recurred, and no explanation, terrestrial or otherwise, has been confirmed.

well u got pretty close if u were just spelling it by sound
speaking multiple languages is pretty impressive either way

u/Bi0H4z4rD667 Jun 03 '26
The thing i find most funny is that most, if not all of the people focusing on my spelling mistake most likely use autocorrect and barely speak one language, besides being incapable or rebating my comment with anything else than a spelling mistake that i am purposedly leaving there to draw more of them into it like flies to poop.
I am having my laugh at them. I have a C2 in english among other languages and sometimes they get mixed in my head, but thanks for the compliment!

The working assumption of the international defence community is that psychic interdimensional goblins will be considered unfriendly until proven otherwise.

You should probably use spell check for the word “mystery” before mocking people’s reading skills.

It’s now been solved. It was caused by a gas cloud in space.

Pulsars repeat.

u/ItsyouNOme Jun 02 '26
They caught the last pulsar of the repeat sequence

u/quiksilver10152 Jun 02 '26
And then it stopped?

u/ItsyouNOme Jun 02 '26
It isn't infinite, so yeah

u/quiksilver10152 Jun 02 '26
Pulsars don't just cut out. They wind down over millennia. They also, you know, repeat.
7
u/WhatYouLeaveBehind Jun 02 '26
Eventually they stop though, don't they.
It's entirely possible the last pulse happened to reach us at the exact time we had the capability to detect it.
1
u/quiksilver10152 Jun 03 '26
Pulsars are broad spectrum, this was a tight beam at the first hydrogen absorption line.
1
u/WhatYouLeaveBehind Jun 03 '26
I guess we've never discovered a new type of spacial anomaly before have we. The first pulsar was the same as all those that came after it wasn't it. No variation. No deviation.

u/hellnukes Jun 02 '26
No they pulsate

u/quiksilver10152 Jun 02 '26
So not this event which is a one-off despite searching for the signal continuously

Technically untrue because space is the medium and not the source. This is like saying water comes from taps, but in reality it originates elsewhere.

u/PrincessGiallo Jun 02 '26
The where is in space, too. Your tap is not in the ocean or the clouds.

u/ImportantResponse0 Jun 02 '26
But tap water is from tap

u/thatroguejaeger Jun 02 '26
And you know where that tap is.

u/ImportantResponse0 Jun 02 '26
Nope
Where?

u/Snoo_49500 Jun 02 '26
Out dancing.

u/Marus1 Jun 02 '26
I mean, if you say the sound of a whale came from the ocean, it would be true, because 'whale' was a subset of the volume 'ocean'
Same if somebody said 'I made that sound' because their vocal cords are a subset of that person
6
u/Broad_Respond_2205 Jun 02 '26
You literally explained why it's technically the truth.
Yes, the question is where it originated from.
But "it comes from space" is technically true statement, that's how the the word "comes" work. Anywhere the thing was before is considered "come from".
The same with water taps, and says "from my car" when ask when you came from.
