In 1977, radio astronomer Jerry Ehman was looking through observation data from the Big Ear Radio Telescope....searching for evidence that alien civilizations might be trying to communicate using radio waves...
...
The search generated...nothing but the background radio transmissions of the Universe.
But then he saw a data signal so interesting and unique that he circled it and wrote “WOW” in a red pen...
Ehman circled the characters “6EQUJ5”, distinguishing them from all the other 1s and 2s on the field of data.
What does this code mean? ... Why does it start with a 6 and then end with a 5?
...
Each character on this chart corresponds to about 10 seconds of “listening”. If the telescope picked up a signal, it recorded the intensity with a single character. The scale went from 1 to 9, and then through A to Z. The highest ever recorded was U.
...what you’re actually seeing is mostly no radio signal, and then the signal gets brighter and brighter, as the Big Ear’s dish passed whatever was generating the signal, then it gets dim again.
...
Ehman himself was doubtful it was intelligent in nature. He wasn’t even sure it came from outside the Solar System at all. He suspected it was either a classified military satellite or a reflection of an Earth-based radio signal bouncing off space debris.
...
If it was a satellite transmitting in this spectrum, you would expect to see it get picked up in other locations around Earth and at other times.
...
It makes sense that aliens would communicate in this spectrum; ...
The signal is a point source, which means it would have come from a specific star or planet in the Milky Way.
...
The bottom line is that we’ll never know.

I enjoyed it. The sequel was beyond awful. Negative stars.
You said it! One of the few movies I quit half-way through - and I am a movie junkie.
They used rubber masks for the aliens. Junior high schools have better acting and costumes. Unbelievable.
Tonight’s Show
ET Hybrids/ Megalithic Mysteries
Date: Wednesday - September 23, 2015
Host: George Noory
Guests: David M. Jacobs, Steve Quayle
In the first half of the program, alien abduction researcher Dr. David Jacobs will discuss how incidents of alien abductions have accelerated along with occurrences of alien involvement in everyday human life, as if a silent and insidious invasion is underway. According to Jacobs, alien hybrids have moved into neighborhoods and workplaces, trained by human abductees to blend in to society and appear as normal as your next door neighbors.

Thanks for the heads up.
Any way to record that podcast for later listening? I’m not staying up till whenever... I would like to hear David Jacobs though.
Never mind... figured out how to do it on a Mac...
I installed Audacity and Soundflower.
Audacity will not record directly from the mac without a cable... Soundflower acts as the cable. :)
Hopefully it will work and I won’t have to stay up late. :)
