`Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they`re so frightfully clever. I`m really awfully glad I`m a Beta, because I don`t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don`t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They`re too stupid to be able …`

On August 18, 1977, the American astronomer Jerry Ehman sat at his kitchen table flipping through sheet after sheet of computer-generated printout. Raining down these pages was a cryptic stream of blank spaces and inky digits falling into regularly spaced columns.
As Ehman looked carefully through this forest of information, his eyes lit upon a very unusual feature on one page. Instead of its usual output of low numbers, the computer had printed a column that read, from top to bottom: “6EQUJ5.” Grabbing a red pen, he circled this group of characters, and to the left, in the margin, he wrote “Wow!”
This small section of paper with its imperfectly printed characters, together with Ehman’s emphatic note, represent what some people think remains the best evidence of a signal from the cosmic depths that was of artificial, purposeful, and intelligent origin.
A few days earlier, on August 15, 1977, this printout had spilled forth from an analysis of radio signals detected by the Big Ear telescope in a field outside Delaware, Ohio. Big Ear was a rectangular structure, larger than three football fields, covering the ground in metal paneling and bookended with two sloping fence-like structures. At this time, it was purposely listening for something very specific.
As the Earth rotated and the sky drifted across its view, Big Ear was catching radio signals in a set of fifty distinct frequency channels. These included some that overlapped with a special natural frequency—the frequency at which atoms of hydrogen emit radiation when their proton and electron flip between quantum spin states.
This may not sound very exciting, but for scientists, this frequency (known as the 1400 MHz or 21-centimeter line) is important. It reveals the glow of interstellar and intergalactic hydrogen gas, and it can reveal the moisture content of our atmosphere and even the salinity of our oceans here on Earth when detected from space. This frequency also sits at an especially quiet spot within the galactic hubbub of radio waves, an attractive place to gather to listen for interesting phenomena. For this reason it’s often termed “the cosmic watering hole” in the electromagnetic spectrum.
So it’s a special frequency, universal in nature, but it’s also a frequency that shouldn’t typically flash on or off, or do anything more complicated than gently sit there humming across the cosmos. And this was just why Big Ear was listening for it, because in August 1977 Jerry Ehman and his colleagues were engaged in a search for extraterrestrial intelligence, more commonly known by its acronym: SETI.
“6EQUJ5” signified a sudden pulse of radio energy when it appeared on Big Ear’s printout. Usually the faint signals of natural noise only rated blank spaces, or digits such as 1, 2, or 3. But if the signals got strong enough the computer would have to shift up to letters—and by the time it got to “U” it meant a signal about thirty times more powerful than the cosmic background. This pulse lasted for the duration of Big Ear’s attention span on any one spot on the sky: seventy-two seconds. It also came in at almost exactly the atomic hydrogen frequency, the cosmic watering hole. But then it was gone. And it didn’t come back—ever.
Much has been written about this “Wow” signal. Jerry Ehman himself has carefully evaluated many mundane possibilities for its origins, but most come up blank. It’s very unlikely to have been something on Earth, or even in Earth’s orbit—a passing satellite or a space mission. But if it was cosmic in origin, we simply don’t know what it was, or even where it came from, because Big Ear wasn’t capable of pinpointing a location to any great precision.
Since the 1970s astronomers have learned a lot more about the so-called transient universe, natural phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts, pulsar glitches, burping black holes, and other events that come and go. Yet no one example is a clear match to what Big Ear caught a glimpse of, and so the mystery remains.
