For centuries, we wondered if we were alone. Then, an alien ship visited, had a good look at our little planet, and simply left without a word. This is the story of what happened next: how humanity dealt with the cosmic sting of being ghosted, and how the ultimate grudge became our greatest motivation.

In 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman detected a 72-second radio burst via Ohio’s Big Ear telescope. Dubbed the “Wow! Signal” for his annotated reaction, its intensity, narrow frequency (1420 MHz), and lack of re-detection sparked debate over extraterrestrial, natural, or human origins. Despite theories, its unresolved mystery fuels scientific and cultural fascination with cosmic life searches.
