The original WOW signal was not a recording of audio, it was a series of numbers relating to frequencies. The audio people are hearing is just a guess, not an actual recording of a signal.
Exactly, and captured in 12 second "snapshot" intervals at that. This audio everyone knows was a slowed down aviation, or police scanner recording originally used as part of a dramatized illustrative tool for a TV program on possible communication with alien civilizations. If audio was captured, or a continuous signal could be synthesized into an audio form, it would probably sound cool, and mysterious, but it simply wasn't, and this has been confirmed directly from those who worked there at the time, and also those who have extensive knowledge of the scanning equipment used at the time. The protocol was that audio was only recorded when viable, modulated (indication of an intelligent transmission), repeatable signals could be found, and this came down to tech limitations, funding, but most importantly scientific integrity. The "Wow!" was never found again, but given how powerful it was, and how long it lasted, it's too bad we never were able to find it again. If we had the tech we do now back then, whatever it was, it would be impressive still, just as with some of the FRB's we are finding today with modern ultra-sensitive equipment.
It sounds like: "We lost him at 7pm, We've got a 10-61 FH1." Well I know that this has to be a police radio transmission because this is what 10-61 means, it means domestic violence. And FH1 is a unit for police dogs. So what happened is they lost a guy at 7pm that they were chasing for domestic violence, so they were going to send dogs to find him. Simple
YOURE CORRECT BECAUSE IT WAS SOME HOW SIGNALS DISTORTED BY SOMETHING, CAUSED IT TO HEAR DIRECT RADIO SOUND ELECTRO WAVES AND THE DETECTED IN THE WRONG AREA. OR IT WAS ALIENS THAT HAVE KNOWN OUR KNOWLAGE AND COPIED US SO ITS POSSIBLE THERES ANOTHER EARTH WITH LIFE. COULD THIS MEAN WE DETECTED LIFE?
Warrior Steve your probably right. a good possibility is that he distorted a police recording to sound like the wow signal and faked the decoding. personally, i think thats what they did. im calling fake.
Kevin Tran Or... it was just an interception of a police signal? I mean, these dishes could pick up any kind of EM waves, so if a transmission from a police officer accidentally got in range, then the dishes could've easily picked it up. Why it slowed the signal down so much is unknown.
There was no audio from the 'Wow' signal. The computer was sampling signal levels every 12 seconds and recorded 6 unusually high levels in succession. That's all the 'Wow' signal was. If you want an audio interpretation of the data then it would be 6 clicks 12 seconds apart. Of course the original signal would be more than that, but that information was lost due to the low sampling rate of the computer recording it. The audio signal on the video above is a hoax.
ObjObj leftblank Ooops! Thanks for that! I've corrected that typo. Yes, the exponential increase and decrease was due to the antenna rotating into and out of the signal source. As you say, the sampling rate was very poor. The design of the recording system was unbelievably bad, especially when you consider the people involved. There were many ways in which the sampling rate could have been greatly increased, with an almost negligible increase in set up and running costs. It's almost as if they deliberately made it crude so that any feature in the data could be speculated upon for decades afterwards, and ensure that the funding kept flowing! Even an audio recording would have been enough to reveal the nature of the source, or at least narrow down the possibilities considerably.
The horn antenna is pointing skyward in a fixed position and it sweeps the sky due to the rotation of the Earth. So the signal could have been continuous and the location is estimated as being in the constellation Sagittarius, as this is at the right distance to produce the rise and fall over that time period. And yes, the duration is unknown although if you look at the signal strength vs time graph on Wikipedia the signal starts cleanly but finishes with two extra humps. This will be due to the characteristics of the antenna, but It would be interesting to find out how accurately this does match the polar response of the antenna.
Connor Farnworth Yes it's possible but that signal was recorded from a star system 200 light years away so it would take at least 200 years to reach us which indicates that the "WOW!" Signal could be over 200 years old and if we sent a reply it would take another 200 years for whoever sent the signal to receive it. It is strange that aliens (possibly) would send humans a message i believe this be a warning perhaps they saw something we didn't and are warning us before it happens to us
Hey man... There was no audio recording of the "Wow" signal as there was no audio recording equipment attached to the output of the radio telescope. You've decoded the fake recording of the Wow! signal though.
Jack Beagle This moron should take this video down... Spreading so much misinformation despite 100's of comments like mine. If I were him I'd be embarrassed.
K1LLSVV1TCH I don't think so, although I agree that he could have decoded a fake wow signal (I haven't researched enough to say with any certainty) but it's not impossible to get a sound wave from a radio signal. Moreover its entirely possible for this very same sound-bite to be reflected into the telescopes field of view, it does sound like air traffic communication after all.
Jack Beagle The wow signal isn't a sound the anomaly was based on the intensity variation of the signal... Basically what they know is that whatever the sound was, at points, was 30 times louder than normal deep space. That's what was so wow about the signal... They didn't actually hear anything.
And don't comment if you haven't done any research. This isn't about opinion it's about fact so do some research or don't bother. Such a stupid excuse for ignorance.
The Message was most likely mixed with some air traffic frequencies. It most likely originates from the Nevada or California Area, the end sounds like "Turn onto Sierra, Delta 1061." Delta flight 1061 flies Orlando to Los Angeles and Back. The Radio Telescopes kind of near the SFO Area. Maybe some strange interference?
The timing was perfect in 1977 for something like this to happen when the telegraph system was expanded to include law enforcement agencies (US Marshals, Army, Puerto Rico etc.) that year to help fund the program which was lagging since its 1966 inception. SETI and Telegraph don't operate on the same "wave length" hence the confusion. You may be biased in what you're hearing since you work/like air traffic control. Does your data match the year of recording? Otherwise, it makes sense.
Here is a thought. I graduated from an audio engineering school in america. One of the biggest things they taught was wave theory and propagation. So if I had to send a message across the universe I would have to stop and think "What frequencies travel further and take more time to propagate as opposed to which frequencies would develop to soon and not travel as far?" Also, which frequencies respond better to diffraction (basically when sound hits an object and reconstructs on the other side)? This would explain why the signal had to be sped up. High frequencies travel further in a uni directional pattern. The original signal sounds like a dirty sine wave.
Well that's it then. It's all been cleared up. The famous WOW message from 1977 is the voice of a New York Cop who has lost his donuts. Or US pilots flying experimental aircraft (was it the Blackbird at that time?) or astronauts going up or down. It says (In a NY accent):"I lost you when you were about 17 on the double ten sixty one. " Mach 17 is 'High Hypersonic Speed' (about 10,000 mph),. From Wiki: "[At Mach 17] Thermal control becomes a dominant design consideration. Structure must either be designed to operate hot, or be protected by special silicate tiles or similar. Chemically reacting flow can also cause corrosion of the vehicle's skin, with free-atomic oxygen featuring in very high-speed flows. Hypersonic designs are often forced into blunt configurations because of the aerodynamic heating rising with a reduced radius of curvature." INTERESTING POINTS: 1. Babylonian numbering system didn't go beyond Ten (Twenty is two symbols for ten, and thirty is three symbols for ten etc) but at sixty the symbol changed and was identical for the symbol for 'one'. Therefore 20 was a double ten and six and one were 'uniquely the same'. 2. On the 10th of the 10th 1961 the US tested a nuclear missile at the Nevada site. 3. NGC 61, a double spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces 4. The Double Tenth Agreement, formally known as the Summary of Conversations Between the Representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, was an agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, concluded on 10 October 1945 (the Double Ten Day of the Republic of China) after 43 days of negotiations. The agreement would be 17 years old in 1961. My guess is some experimental flying at Mach 17. The guy in the ground is letting the pilot know that when he reached mach 17 , the equipment (radar/scanner ) lost him while he was performing a double ten (with 61 being the pilots call sign). Or something along those lines. If mach 17 seems unlikely then 17 could refer to degrees or percentage of a maneoivre. I hate the word manouevre I can never spell it. Shit.
Bro it’s fake this is some guy tryna get views lmfao it’s a police transmission using coded things to send a message to other officers. He took this message and slowed it down, then sped it up again to make it seem like he’s decoding it. The radio telescope doesn’t record sounds, it records sound levels. Somebody else has commented explaining how the sound levels work so I’m not going to say it, but the telescope wasn’t recording sounds. There is no sound correlation to any of these codes.
The man talking is a police officer. He says something about 10-61. 10-61 is a term used to describe (Personnel in Area, Stopping Suspicious Vehicle, Void IBM Card, Bike Theft) The officer actually says: We lost him at 7pm its a 10-61. The WOW! signal was never recorded, because at the time they received the message, there was no way to decode or record the signal
Sounds like an american police radio. But how would it be time shifted? Could it be the same effect that slows a lightning strike down into a "whistler"?
Pay attention: The "Wow!" sequence itself is not a message. What was received appeared to be a CW (unmodulated) signal. The numbers and letters in the much-reproduced computer printout are merely a time-series representation of the signal amplitude, as received at the Big Ear radio telescope. Specifically, the symbols represent the number of standard deviations by which the received signal exceeded average background noise, on a scale of 0 to 35. So a 0 means no stronger than background noise, 1 is one sigma above noise, 9 means nine sigma above noise, an A would be ten units, and U (the strongest peak of the actual signal) is 30 standard deviations above the mean background noise in the receiver. If you graph the sequence as amplitude values over time (each time increment is about twelve seconds), you get roughly a Gaussian distribution, consistent with the antenna pattern of the Big Ear in drift-scan mode. Thus, it is impossible to decode.
ATTEBTION!!! DEBUNKED: 1. It was a radiowave telescope that picked up the signal 2. The radiowave telescope transmmits the signals as numbers on a grid, NOT in AUDIO 3. Even if it were to be recorded, it would have only been recorded beeps or pings Summary: Somebody wanted attention or thought it would be funny to post a FAKE audio recording of a police radio slowed down, on youtube. So they did and some people don't do their research so they take it seriously and are mislead. The REAL WOW Signal is 100% REAL, but the audio recording is 100% FAKE, there is no audio recorded evidence in existence that the public is aware of or has access to on public internet servers. It is said that it was only recorded once and never again, meaning only on that one sheet of graph paper and never again, no where else.
Makes sense. Some radio transmission escaped to space, got reflected in a very big distance by some object, and retured straight back (absolute tiny chance) while slowing down (wave length got longer). When you compacted it back to as it was before the long journey, and filtering noises from space junk, debree, moist and such, you get the echo of the real thing! And it sounds military :D Dobra prace
IF YOU FEEL SCARED, WAIT TILL YOU READ THIS:: You increased the pitch by the amount f1/f2=(49-1)/(4.2-1)=15 times. Assumming that: 1) The creature who made that sound is organic, 2) the speed "v" of waves traveling through organic tissue is a constant, and 3) applying the string resonance formula f=v/(2L), you can easily calculate that L2/L1=f1/f2=15, or L2=15*L1. IN OTHER WORDS, THE CREATURE WHO MADE THAT SOUND MUST BE AROUND... 90 FEET HEIGHT!!!
hmm good thinking but it is rare that it is organic using the square cube law the "organic" thing would be VERY fat and if you think about it a VERY fat thing wouldn't survive as long as a thin thing
lol, imagine it came from a ship. During the beginning of the transmission the ship is heading towards us. Then, in the next seconds it turns. The radio waves heading towards us from the beginning would travel towards us faster than those in the end where the ship completed its turn. Meaning... The last radio waves are traveling slower. This causes the first waves to reach us and be spread out farther than the last causing a stretched out signal. This is why speeding it up gives you these sounds. Imagine an ambulance driving by you. The sound as it drives towards you is much higher pitched than those as it drives away from you. Same sorta thing.
john no just no if it was a ship it would have sounded alot lower pitched the wow signal is radio waves being emmited from another so called earth like planet probably trying to ask for help as the race shreds away their atmosphere with nuclear war or falling to close to their star and the transmission fades there
I doubt it was a ship. That was just an example from my imagination. It is entirely unlikely that an alien race is using our police codes any way. Or that our police codes appear in the language in any form whatsoever. It was probably a police car driving and talking on his radio and that transmission "got lucky" and bounced around the atmosphere for a while until the telescope caught it.
xXBudderGod I'm not saying you didn't do exactly what you've said you did. It's just modulation means you add radio waves to a digitized sound, then demodulate it on the other side. What you have here is similar to playing a soundbackwards and hearing "satan". Optical illusions work in the same way. So, sorry if you thought i was calling you a liar, i wasn't. But the poster is correct, however ignorant. The radio waves WERE infact recorded, though clearly, NOT with audio, as that would be useless without knowing what to demodulate. They were recorded into raw wave data. (numbers) Speeding/slowing radio waves up/down will often create interesting sounds.
I believe in aliens, only because I have seen craft that I don't believe any Earthling could create. I saw them with my own eyes, not on video, and several times, in fact. For those who will wonder where this happened... I grew up in Roswell. I'll have to check what's available of the signal. I was under the impression that there was nothing that could be turned into audio.
Has anyone watched Intersteller? Because maybe this signal is from Us in the future send from black hole and it traveled to the past. Maybe it contain something. Maybe the gravity formula inside of black hole. LOL Just saying that.
yes, because as far as we know information enters a black hole and then just comes out and travels back to its original emmiter. Just like light does ! Its GREAT that your entire information pool regarding this subject revolves around a movie that you and your boyfriend/girlfriend watched last sunday and now you think you know shit about black holes. ITS GREAT AMERICA, ITS GREAT ISNT IT?
Scores 10 out of 10 on the Absurdity Scale. The WOW signal is not a message but a computer generated measurement of the difference in amplitude between the "signal" and the background noise of space. Why would an alien civilization speak in English (with a midwest accent)? And wouldn't any advanced civ send scientific information, a primer for understanding terms, etc rather than police commands? Unintentionally hilarious.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS! Its a segment of a cockpit voice recording of (crashed) flight Delta191, between them and Air traffic control, I know it backwards!!! Theres a point where ATC says "Delta1061 cross 17 right, groundpoint...etc" I recognise it 100%. If you search for like "CVR Transcript DL191", it plays the audio alongside the transcript and u will see this section.
Sound like an old signal from earth which was reflected by something in its path into space for a short period of time. The wavelength decreased with time.
that's what I'm thinking myself. sound waves do bounce and and continue traveling. Especially if it's high frequency. Unless we have men lost in space?
well, this is just an audio file slowed down, no bouncing and reflecting included, every wow signal audio you hear anywhere is fake, there are no recordings of this signal, nor can we recreate it from the paper it was printed on.
Even though we can't clearly hear what the voice is saying, I can assume that it is some kind of a distress signal. I'm assuming that because at the very beginning and at the very end we hear the same thing, it's a constantly repeating message. Could be anything.
With all due respect, the "Wow Signal" was an observation of an electromagnetic pulse via a radiotelescope. Radio waves are not sounds either, although they can be used to carry sounds under certain circumstances. The observatory was *not searching for sounds.* What was observed was not a sound -- it was vastly outside the audio spectrum and there is no recording of it in any sense except for the typing on the computer printout from the Ohio observatory where it was detected. (1) We have no reason to believe that there was any sound encoded in it, (2) if there was, we never had a recording of it, and (3) if there was and we had a recording, we would need the aliens' decoding technology to hear it. But no one ever heard let alone recorded any sound related to the signal. We do not know what produced the signal. So, whatever recording you are manipulating here, it is in no way related to the "Wow Signal."
What if the so called "Aliens" have evolved exactly like we have. They could look exactly like we do, and in their language, some bunch of words like "Is there anyone our there" may sound like 1061. This theory may have a low chance, but considering we're talking about a random signal being received over a crap tonne of distance away, I'd say that we don't have a clue what this is. It might even be just a random burst of electromagnetic radiation coming from the sun.
Shorts Their evolution, history, etc., are so similar to ours that they just happen to have developed English??? I'd say the odds of this are not just low but incomprehensibly remote. But the "signal" *WAS NOT A SOUND* and so can't possibly have verbal content of that or any other kind. What you are saying assumes that the signal was or included a sound. There was no sound involved. The chance that the signal was, or included, someone someone speaking is zero.
So, why not just to listen them with a normal radio (audio) reciever with sygnals from 80 kHZ up to 200 Mhz , with some bigger antena? Seti will never find them with that method. Even if they would find their sygnals (which they did with WOW; which was probably a 'packed' (zipped) message with strong EM amplitudes on some short amount of time to some other spaceship or anybody around our own solar system), they will never know what it was... If we want to find species which are similar to us (have ears), then we should seek them through the "music"(audio , Space radio broadcasting waves)... btw what do you think about this document? goldenageofgaia.com/archive/disclosure-archives/nsa-releases-ufo-files-reveals-alien-messages-received/
Haggis Pouch Technically giving that the universe never ends there is most likely and actual parallel planet of some sort to earth. At the exact same time history wise and technology wise but their history is different to ours
That transmission is fron Delta Airlines Flight 191 that crashed on 08/02/1985, 9 years after the WOW signal was detected. The garble says: We lost him at 2 10,maybe 10 61,FH1...."
if you read the wiki article you would see that there is a far better chance that this came from outer space than from our planet. i`m not sure about the science involved but it coming from earth and bouncing back to earth would be nearly impossible (from what i understood)
1 thing, why was the code; 6EQUJ5 (intensity) , thats a code given when something is received from REALLY far away? might the signal reflected, and came all the way back???
that signal came from over a hundred light years away, that means we would have had to send the signal thousands of years ago for the radio segnal to go all the way to the Sagittarius galaxy (where it came from) and back.
Evan Williams it came from the direction of Tau Sagittarii and the signal would have to travel 122 years from there ... if its a reflected signal it would have to travel roundabout ~244 years
This wow sound is telling you that you should use the energy sound in this sound which is useful for your life, that is, you hear the sound coming out of the sun by putting it in it.
Im lost near the facility, Area 1051. To me it sounds like a message that has to do with are 51. To me he calls Area 51 a facility and he says he is lost somewhere there. but Why in english
Delta 10-61 is an airliner. This is probably a recording of an accident. So yes it is a hoax. The real recording is nothing more but signal amplitude data.
10-61 usually means a personnel in the area in police code. In other states like VA or CA, it could mean other things like a bike theft or a void in a certain card. As for fh1, that's a level of a K9 unite.
What my theorie is when military services will send out secret modules that transmit secret messages like this and secret agency's will crack it with multiple decoders
dude... seriously.... watching you typing is just annoying... i mean... rly... just put the whole finished text on the screen for a couple of seconds and people can stop the vid if they care to read it...
a 10-61 is police chatter for stopping a suspicious vehicle. my guess, this signal somehow bounced off a lot of shit and hit satellites up in space and bouced back down here and got distorted.
I mean by that if you're gullible enough to believe there is an actual recording of the wow signal , i can sell you a bridge in NYC. There was never an audio recording made of the WOW signal, it was just a print out from a dot matrix printer that showed something out of the ordinary. Its nice to think there was, but there never was an audio recording.
People are saying there is no "sound with the "wow" signal but all radio telescopes are picking up sound. That's how the constant hiss that was heard through the the first radio telescope was part of the reason they discovered how old the universe was. If anyone doubts what I am saying watch any documentary about the very first radio telescope. The "Wow" signal WAS recorded as a sound that a computer put into binary code. It makes it much easier to see an anomalie at a glance. But they often don't let people hear the actual signal because they didn't know where it was coming from and they didn't know if it could have been a secret Russian transmission at the time. If this is the real "wow" signal recording then this is amazing!!!! I hear the words "I lost - - - - -?" It's hard to make out the rest. Another signal from space that was decoded by an English astronomer named Duncan Luna is equally amazing and not much about it has been released to the public. But look it up if you find this video interesting because that one will knock your socks off too. Great post!
Minimal funding on the SETI programme meant minimal abservation at the time. Big ear was only set to record radiation frequency blips at 12 second intervals. All the wow signal is are 6 blips 12 seconds appart (lasting 72 seconds) that record radio frequency levels 30 times higher than normal backround space levels for 6 blips before returning to normal. The enteresting thing about it is that the frequency is at 21cm. The same as that of visible light
It sounds like the signal is a military communication broadcast. I think that the signal says "I've lost them, the went through the 1061." the voice is speaking english, which is very weird.
"we lost him at 7pm, we have a 10-61 fh1" Police lingo, 10-61 is a certain type of call and i believe the fh1 refers to the type of dogs they have tracking the lost subject.
It was probably a bounce signal from a radio transmission that came from a jam of an unknown station, don't worry, it sounds like humans, it actually said "we lost him, at 7pm, 10-61, 10-61?"
after 10-61 i think he said - ''do you have a visual?'' but that is not possible that other civilizations speak ANY of our world's language loll.think about it people.
nope, james silva ( the guy above you ) proved that is a signal from the future, that NASA sent. Then the NASA (???) got in a Delorean DMC-12 and randomly traveled through time
Q:I would like to obtain an audio tape of the "Wow!" signal. Can you provide that to me? A:At the time Big Ear recorded the radio signal that later became known as the "Wow!" signal (based on the notation that Dr. Jerry Ehman wrote in the margin of the computer printout), there was no audio recording equipment attached to the output of that radio telescope. Hence, it is impossible to provide an audio tape of that signal.
These comets, known as 266P/Christensen and 335P/Gibbs, have clouds of hydrogen gas millions of kilometers in diameter surrounding them. The Wow! Signal was detected at 1420MHz, which is the radio frequency hydrogen naturally emits. Notably, the team has verified that the comets were within the vicinity at the time, and they report that the radio signals from 266/P Christensen matched those from the Wow! signal.
Not the real wow signal (because it wasn't recorded like that), but I got this instead of police chatter everyone else mentions: "The propulsion will disappear until the jet takes fuel." I guess audio paredolia works in odd ways?
It may be no correlation to this, but listening closely enough I was hearing "Seven - Zero - "Double" Ten - Sixty-one" after the inaudible section in the beginning, now just from curiosity I put it into coordinates using the same numbering, and it came up with four different locations, One being northern Russia ( "N/E" Yamalsky District, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia), two being Antarctica ( "S/E" ) again Antarctica ( "S/W ) and lastly Canada ( 'N/W' Nunavut X0A, Canada) Double entry of the 70,10,1061 came up as 70.4613889 Longitude and 70.46138888888889 Latitude, then signifying "N/E/S/W" Take a look into it, see if anything interesting come up at those locations
You can make speech from every sound out there if edited right.. Keep in mind that the "WOW" signal of course also includes sounds from earth. It's space. We're shooting radio signals etc like bullets out there..
Sounds to me like a man saying "I'm lost near 7 P.M., Tell 'em 1061." There's also another voice in the background that just sounds like it said "Um, earlier." This also sounds like a radio comm. system, like on a plane.
It's probably a radio signal that echo'ed trough space of earth and came back. It sounds like the persons says: We lost him at 7 pm at 10,61. This coordinates are in the Indian ocean neer Oman.
Has anyone ever thought that the signal cannot be decoded by machine but rather by elevating our own personal vibrational frequency? We are vibrational beings that operate on a low frequency. If we can become spiritually enlightened and learn to increase our frequency then maybe we could hear it clearly.

Maybe it was pointing at an alien race that studied our language and our culture? Maybe they have our type of radio technology? What if the signal was from another dimension? Maybe they have some sort of translator so they can make the "Wow" signal actually become readable when you do some technical record editing? The possibilities are endless. Now that I think of it, it's disturbing to hear someone out there even if it's not an alien race. What if it was astronauts stranded on a planet and NASA disregards their plea of help and they abandon them? Since it's 2014 now, are they still alive? Who knows. Only time will tell.
The original WOW signal was not a recording of audio, it was a series of numbers relating to frequencies. The audio people are hearing is just a guess, not an actual recording of a signal.
it wast a bunch of numbers it was radio signal, and the numbers means how hight the sound is
@@markyzass no
@@markyzass Yes
Correct
Exactly, and captured in 12 second "snapshot" intervals at that.
This audio everyone knows was a slowed down aviation, or police scanner recording originally used as part of a dramatized illustrative tool for a TV program on possible communication with alien civilizations.
If audio was captured, or a continuous signal could be synthesized into an audio form, it would probably sound cool, and mysterious, but it simply wasn't, and this has been confirmed directly from those who worked there at the time, and also those who have extensive knowledge of the scanning equipment used at the time.
The protocol was that audio was only recorded when viable, modulated (indication of an intelligent transmission), repeatable signals could be found, and this came down to tech limitations, funding, but most importantly scientific integrity.
The "Wow!" was never found again, but given how powerful it was, and how long it lasted, it's too bad we never were able to find it again.
If we had the tech we do now back then, whatever it was, it would be impressive still, just as with some of the FRB's we are finding today with modern ultra-sensitive equipment.
It sounds like: "We lost him at 7pm, We've got a 10-61 FH1." Well I know that this has to be a police radio transmission because this is what 10-61 means, it means domestic violence. And FH1 is a unit for police dogs. So what happened is they lost a guy at 7pm that they were chasing for domestic violence, so they were going to send dogs to find him. Simple

Warrior Steve your probably right. a good possibility is that he distorted a police recording to sound like the wow signal and faked the decoding. personally, i think thats what they did. im calling fake.
True. Its kibd of wierd that we only herd that wen the signal was slowed down. Though I worder why aliens would use a human recording
they mimiced us, dude.
Kevin Tran Or... it was just an interception of a police signal? I mean, these dishes could pick up any kind of EM waves, so if a transmission from a police officer accidentally got in range, then the dishes could've easily picked it up. Why it slowed the signal down so much is unknown.
There was no audio from the 'Wow' signal. The computer was sampling signal levels every 12 seconds and recorded 6 unusually high levels in succession. That's all the 'Wow' signal was. If you want an audio interpretation of the data then it would be 6 clicks 12 seconds apart. Of course the original signal would be more than that, but that information was lost due to the low sampling rate of the computer recording it. The audio signal on the video above is a hoax.
ObjObj leftblank Ooops! Thanks for that! I've corrected that typo. Yes, the exponential increase and decrease was due to the antenna rotating into and out of the signal source. As you say, the sampling rate was very poor. The design of the recording system was unbelievably bad, especially when you consider the people involved. There were many ways in which the sampling rate could have been greatly increased, with an almost negligible increase in set up and running costs. It's almost as if they deliberately made it crude so that any feature in the data could be speculated upon for decades afterwards, and ensure that the funding kept flowing! Even an audio recording would have been enough to reveal the nature of the source, or at least narrow down the possibilities considerably.
The horn antenna is pointing skyward in a fixed position and it sweeps the sky due to the rotation of the Earth. So the signal could have been continuous and the location is estimated as being in the constellation Sagittarius, as this is at the right distance to produce the rise and fall over that time period. And yes, the duration is unknown although if you look at the signal strength vs time graph on Wikipedia the signal starts cleanly but finishes with two extra humps. This will be due to the characteristics of the antenna, but It would be interesting to find out how accurately this does match the polar response of the antenna.
If humans were to attempt to contact alien life would we send a signal similar to the Wow signal?
Connor Farnworth Yes it's possible but that signal was recorded from a star system 200 light years away so it would take at least 200 years to reach us which indicates that the "WOW!" Signal could be over 200 years old and if we sent a reply it would take another 200 years for whoever sent the signal to receive it. It is strange that aliens (possibly) would send humans a message i believe this be a warning perhaps they saw something we didn't and are warning us before it happens to us
No HOAX sorry! Try it by yourself before you say something like that!
sounds like space police on a radio chasing some black alien.
Lol
Now play it in reverse
Lmao!
I didn't know aliens spoke English! Do they have another Britain in deep space? How could they colonize the whole universe??? (Sarcasm)
Maybe its not aliens. Maybe its humans but everybody think this signal is from somewhere far :)
I think the same. I heard the signale came on a frequency you are not allowed to send on it, maybe a millitary thing.

Hey man... There was no audio recording of the "Wow" signal as there was no audio recording equipment attached to the output of the radio telescope. You've decoded the fake recording of the Wow! signal though.
K1LLSVV1TCH Radio signals can be coded into sound waves, that's how radio works.
Edit: realised what you meant.
Jack Beagle This moron should take this video down... Spreading so much misinformation despite 100's of comments like mine. If I were him I'd be embarrassed.
K1LLSVV1TCH I don't think so, although I agree that he could have decoded a fake wow signal (I haven't researched enough to say with any certainty) but it's not impossible to get a sound wave from a radio signal. Moreover its entirely possible for this very same sound-bite to be reflected into the telescopes field of view, it does sound like air traffic communication after all.
Jack Beagle The wow signal isn't a sound the anomaly was based on the intensity variation of the signal... Basically what they know is that whatever the sound was, at points, was 30 times louder than normal deep space. That's what was so wow about the signal... They didn't actually hear anything.
And don't comment if you haven't done any research. This isn't about opinion it's about fact so do some research or don't bother. Such a stupid excuse for ignorance.
Towards it says something like "10 61" at the end of it. Almost like it's an airplane convo.
Yes, it's something like radio-tramsmission... I suppose
"They said they lost and everybody's at 710(homicide). Another 1061(standby for teletype message."
The Message was most likely mixed with some air traffic frequencies. It most likely originates from the Nevada or California Area, the end sounds like "Turn onto Sierra, Delta 1061." Delta flight 1061 flies Orlando to Los Angeles and Back. The Radio Telescopes kind of near the SFO Area. Maybe some strange interference?
The timing was perfect in 1977 for something like this to happen when the telegraph system was expanded to include law enforcement agencies (US Marshals, Army, Puerto Rico etc.) that year to help fund the program which was lagging since its 1966 inception. SETI and Telegraph don't operate on the same "wave length" hence the confusion. You may be biased in what you're hearing since you work/like air traffic control. Does your data match the year of recording? Otherwise, it makes sense.
Well, own knowledge. I'm not really sure if they operated that flight in 1977. But nice info anyways. A mystery, I guess.
I heard it saying, "People of Washington, Security area on double 10 16". Maybe it's from the future
I heard 61 instead of 16
Selestron Hasjhai
I defanitley heard 61 as well
Omg I heard it too right now
"Go sierra, I got a 10 - 61" is what its saying.
I hear somehing like "... lost near 17 and double 10 61..this is the one" Maybe it could be a police radio message?
"I'm lost in a facility around 10 61."
"10 61?"
That's what it sounds like to me
I heard two muffled voice say “I’m lost in the facility near 10 61. 10 61?”
Here is a thought. I graduated from an audio engineering school in america. One of the biggest things they taught was wave theory and propagation. So if I had to send a message across the universe I would have to stop and think "What frequencies travel further and take more time to propagate as opposed to which frequencies would develop to soon and not travel as far?" Also, which frequencies respond better to diffraction (basically when sound hits an object and reconstructs on the other side)? This would explain why the signal had to be sped up. High frequencies travel further in a uni directional pattern. The original signal sounds like a dirty sine wave.
"I am lost here in a 10-61" is what I heard
"I'm little bit scaried" XDDDDDD
Well that's it then. It's all been cleared up. The famous WOW message from 1977 is the voice of a New York Cop who has lost his donuts. Or US pilots flying experimental aircraft (was it the Blackbird at that time?) or astronauts going up or down.
It says (In a NY accent):"I lost you when you were about 17 on the double ten sixty one. "
Mach 17 is 'High Hypersonic Speed' (about 10,000 mph),.
From Wiki: "[At Mach 17] Thermal control becomes a dominant design consideration. Structure must either be designed to operate hot, or be protected by special silicate tiles or similar. Chemically reacting flow can also cause corrosion of the vehicle's skin, with free-atomic oxygen featuring in very high-speed flows. Hypersonic designs are often forced into blunt configurations because of the aerodynamic heating rising with a reduced radius of curvature."
INTERESTING POINTS:
1. Babylonian numbering system didn't go beyond Ten (Twenty is two symbols for ten, and thirty is three symbols for ten etc) but at sixty the symbol changed and was identical for the symbol for 'one'. Therefore 20 was a double ten and six and one were 'uniquely the same'.
2. On the 10th of the 10th 1961 the US tested a nuclear missile at the Nevada site.
3. NGC 61, a double spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces
4. The Double Tenth Agreement, formally known as the Summary of Conversations Between the Representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, was an agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, concluded on 10 October 1945 (the Double Ten Day of the Republic of China) after 43 days of negotiations.
The agreement would be 17 years old in 1961.
My guess is some experimental flying at Mach 17.
The guy in the ground is letting the pilot know that when he reached mach 17 , the equipment (radar/scanner ) lost him while he was performing a double ten (with 61 being the pilots call sign). Or something along those lines.
If mach 17 seems unlikely then 17 could refer to degrees or percentage of a maneoivre. I hate the word manouevre I can never spell it. Shit.
Bro it’s fake this is some guy tryna get views lmfao it’s a police transmission using coded things to send a message to other officers. He took this message and slowed it down, then sped it up again to make it seem like he’s decoding it. The radio telescope doesn’t record sounds, it records sound levels. Somebody else has commented explaining how the sound levels work so I’m not going to say it, but the telescope wasn’t recording sounds. There is no sound correlation to any of these codes.
The man talking is a police officer. He says something about 10-61. 10-61 is a term used to describe (Personnel in Area, Stopping Suspicious Vehicle, Void IBM Card, Bike Theft) The officer actually says: We lost him at 7pm its a 10-61. The WOW! signal was never recorded, because at the time they received the message, there was no way to decode or record the signal
Well... maybe the solution is on GTA V

it says: WE HAVE LOST HIM 7 PM AND WE' RE IN 1061
Nuclear Bomb yeah man that's truly right so it's a police signal
Pay attention: The "Wow!" sequence itself is not a message. What was received appeared to be a CW (unmodulated) signal. The numbers and letters in the much-reproduced computer printout are merely a time-series representation of the signal amplitude, as received at the Big Ear radio telescope.
Specifically, the symbols represent the number of standard deviations by which the received signal exceeded average background noise, on a scale of 0 to 35. So a 0 means no stronger than background noise, 1 is one sigma above noise, 9 means nine sigma above noise, an A would be ten units, and U (the strongest peak of the actual signal) is 30 standard deviations above the mean background noise in the receiver. If you graph the sequence as amplitude values over time (each time increment is about twelve seconds), you get roughly a Gaussian distribution, consistent with the antenna pattern of the Big Ear in drift-scan mode.
Thus, it is impossible to decode.
The signal made me cry. I don't know why.
Same it was making me tear up for some reason
Maybe we understood what it was saying in our subconscious. It may have been something sad, very sad.
Jason Haven Yeah, I got the same thing, although I don't think its "in our subconscious" I agree with Adeolkahneedieob.
ATTEBTION!!! DEBUNKED:
1. It was a radiowave telescope that picked up the signal
2. The radiowave telescope transmmits the signals as numbers on a grid, NOT in AUDIO
3. Even if it were to be recorded, it would have only been recorded beeps or pings
Summary:
Somebody wanted attention or thought it would be funny to post a FAKE audio recording of a police radio slowed down, on youtube. So they did and some people don't do their research so they take it seriously and are mislead. The REAL WOW Signal is 100% REAL, but the audio recording is 100% FAKE, there is no audio recorded evidence in existence that the public is aware of or has access to on public internet servers. It is said that it was only recorded once and never again, meaning only on that one sheet of graph paper and never again, no where else.
Makes sense. Some radio transmission escaped to space, got reflected in a very big distance by some object, and retured straight back (absolute tiny chance) while slowing down (wave length got longer). When you compacted it back to as it was before the long journey, and filtering noises from space junk, debree, moist and such, you get the echo of the real thing! And it sounds military :D Dobra prace
Yes
IF YOU FEEL SCARED, WAIT TILL YOU READ THIS::
You increased the pitch by the amount f1/f2=(49-1)/(4.2-1)=15 times. Assumming that: 1) The creature who made that sound is organic, 2) the speed "v" of waves traveling through organic tissue is a constant, and 3) applying the string resonance formula f=v/(2L), you can easily calculate that L2/L1=f1/f2=15, or L2=15*L1.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE CREATURE WHO MADE THAT SOUND MUST BE AROUND... 90 FEET HEIGHT!!!
no worng
hmm good thinking but it is rare that it is organic using the square cube law the "organic" thing would be VERY fat and if you think about it a VERY fat thing wouldn't survive as long as a thin thing
lol, imagine it came from a ship. During the beginning of the transmission the ship is heading towards us. Then, in the next seconds it turns. The radio waves heading towards us from the beginning would travel towards us faster than those in the end where the ship completed its turn. Meaning... The last radio waves are traveling slower. This causes the first waves to reach us and be spread out farther than the last causing a stretched out signal. This is why speeding it up gives you these sounds.
Imagine an ambulance driving by you. The sound as it drives towards you is much higher pitched than those as it drives away from you.
Same sorta thing.
john no just no if it was a ship it would have sounded alot lower pitched the wow signal is radio waves being emmited from another so called earth like planet probably trying to ask for help as the race shreds away their atmosphere with nuclear war or falling to close to their star and the transmission fades there
I doubt it was a ship. That was just an example from my imagination. It is entirely unlikely that an alien race is using our police codes any way. Or that our police codes appear in the language in any form whatsoever.
It was probably a police car driving and talking on his radio and that transmission "got lucky" and bounced around the atmosphere for a while until the telescope caught it.
Seems more like "We lost him at 2 or 3 double 10 61". May some signal lost in space during the WW2...
João Francisco Ligeiro Yeah i heard: I'm lost here.
João Francisco Ligeiro yhea its a cop "i lost him at 7pm we got a 10-61" code for suspision of stolen viechle.
"I'm lost or I lost near the facility 10 61" hmm. Maybe the military does have reverse engineered spacecraft.....
That's what I thought it said
Yes
Might be a police radio. A 10-61 means to standby for a teletype message.
The wow signal was never recorded. So, whatever you slowed down is something else.
It was not recorded but it was in a code.You can convert it into an audio file using a software.
Use the software mathematica and see for your self
xXBudderGod I'm not saying you didn't do exactly what you've said you did. It's just modulation means you add radio waves to a digitized sound, then demodulate it on the other side. What you have here is similar to playing a soundbackwards and hearing "satan". Optical illusions work in the same way. So, sorry if you thought i was calling you a liar, i wasn't. But the poster is correct, however ignorant. The radio waves WERE infact recorded, though clearly, NOT with audio, as that would be useless without knowing what to demodulate. They were recorded into raw wave data. (numbers) Speeding/slowing radio waves up/down will often create interesting sounds.
xXBudderGod
It was recorded as 6! letters only, thats everything! (i beleave in aliens too)
I believe in aliens, only because I have seen craft that I don't believe any Earthling could create. I saw them with my own eyes, not on video, and several times, in fact. For those who will wonder where this happened... I grew up in Roswell.
I'll have to check what's available of the signal. I was under the impression that there was nothing that could be turned into audio.
Has anyone watched Intersteller?
Because maybe this signal is from Us in the future send from black hole and it traveled to the past. Maybe it contain something. Maybe the gravity formula inside of black hole. LOL
Just saying that.
Maybe ..
Den Hafiz yep!
😂😂
Perfect movie, perfect idea! :O
m4rzus oh thanks buddy
😁😁
yes, because as far as we know information enters a black hole and then just comes out and travels back to its original emmiter. Just like light does !
Its GREAT that your entire information pool regarding this subject revolves around a movie that you and your boyfriend/girlfriend watched last sunday and now you think you know shit about black holes. ITS GREAT AMERICA, ITS GREAT ISNT IT?
Scores 10 out of 10 on the Absurdity Scale. The WOW signal is not a message but a computer generated measurement of the difference in amplitude between the "signal" and the background noise of space. Why would an alien civilization speak in English (with a midwest accent)? And wouldn't any advanced civ send scientific information, a primer for understanding terms, etc rather than police commands? Unintentionally hilarious.
"I'm lost at a facility known as area 10 61" is what i heard
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS! Its a segment of a cockpit voice recording of (crashed) flight Delta191, between them and Air traffic control, I know it backwards!!! Theres a point where ATC says "Delta1061 cross 17 right, groundpoint...etc"
I recognise it 100%.
If you search for like "CVR Transcript DL191", it plays the audio alongside the transcript and u will see this section.
Sound like an old signal from earth which was reflected by something in its path into space for a short period of time. The wavelength decreased with time.
that's what I'm thinking myself. sound waves do bounce and and continue traveling. Especially if it's high frequency. Unless we have men lost in space?
well, this is just an audio file slowed down, no bouncing and reflecting included, every wow signal audio you hear anywhere is fake, there are no recordings of this signal, nor can we recreate it from the paper it was printed on.
If that's true, than I was pretty fast to judge.
DALEK SUPREME its radio wave
Even though we can't clearly hear what the voice is saying, I can assume that it is some kind of a distress signal. I'm assuming that because at the very beginning and at the very end we hear the same thing, it's a constantly repeating message. Could be anything.
Its a cop "I'm lost and I got a 10-61." Cop terms for I don't know what.
With all due respect, the "Wow Signal" was an observation of an electromagnetic pulse via a radiotelescope. Radio waves are not sounds either, although they can be used to carry sounds under certain circumstances. The observatory was *not searching for sounds.* What was observed was not a sound -- it was vastly outside the audio spectrum and there is no recording of it in any sense except for the typing on the computer printout from the Ohio observatory where it was detected. (1) We have no reason to believe that there was any sound encoded in it, (2) if there was, we never had a recording of it, and (3) if there was and we had a recording, we would need the aliens' decoding technology to hear it. But no one ever heard let alone recorded any sound related to the signal.
We do not know what produced the signal.
So, whatever recording you are manipulating here, it is in no way related to the "Wow Signal."
What if the so called "Aliens" have evolved exactly like we have. They could look exactly like we do, and in their language, some bunch of words like "Is there anyone our there" may sound like 1061. This theory may have a low chance, but considering we're talking about a random signal being received over a crap tonne of distance away, I'd say that we don't have a clue what this is. It might even be just a random burst of electromagnetic radiation coming from the sun.
Shorts Their evolution, history, etc., are so similar to ours that they just happen to have developed English??? I'd say the odds of this are not just low but incomprehensibly remote. But the "signal" *WAS NOT A SOUND* and so can't possibly have verbal content of that or any other kind.
What you are saying assumes that the signal was or included a sound. There was no sound involved. The chance that the signal was, or included, someone someone speaking is zero.
So, why not just to listen them with a normal radio (audio) reciever with sygnals from 80 kHZ up to 200 Mhz , with some bigger antena? Seti will never find them with that method. Even if they would find their sygnals (which they did with WOW; which was probably a 'packed' (zipped) message with strong EM amplitudes on some short amount of time to some other spaceship or anybody around our own solar system), they will never know what it was... If we want to find species which are similar to us (have ears), then we should seek them through the "music"(audio , Space radio broadcasting waves)... btw what do you think about this document? goldenageofgaia.com/archive/disclosure-archives/nsa-releases-ufo-files-reveals-alien-messages-received/
Haggis Pouch Technically giving that the universe never ends there is most likely and actual parallel planet of some sort to earth. At the exact same time history wise and technology wise but their history is different to ours
ItsOctober And how do you know this stuff? Are you a scientist? Is there evidence?
i hear someone say 10 61 which is a police code. this isn't even the wow signal. the wow signal was not recorded in audio it was recorded in binary.
That transmission is fron Delta Airlines Flight 191 that crashed on 08/02/1985, 9 years after the WOW signal was detected. The garble says: We lost him at 2 10,maybe 10 61,FH1...."
DC Cataloni There is a part in the audio "Crossing seventeen right, delta ten sixty one" which really sounds like the audio on this
"7:00 pm, number 1061" That's all I could make out of it.
Couldn't the wow signal just have been one of our own radio shows or something?
if you read the wiki article you would see that there is a far better chance that this came from outer space than from our planet. i`m not sure about the science involved but it coming from earth and bouncing back to earth would be nearly impossible (from what i understood)
Its a message from another earth human farm
the real wow signal was only a computerized printout, they didnt record audio back then, this audio was a hoax, it is indeed slowed down radio chat
Tortoise619 We dont have enough power to emit that kind of signal. Its beyond our technology.
ravy pmr Yes we have, we already did back in the 70's, we sent a graphic of our solar system, the structure of our DNA (...).
1 thing, why was the code; 6EQUJ5 (intensity) , thats a code given when something is received from REALLY far away? might the signal reflected, and came all the way back???
that signal came from over a hundred light years away, that means we would have had to send the signal thousands of years ago for the radio segnal to go all the way to the Sagittarius galaxy (where it came from) and back.
Evan Williams it came from the direction of Tau Sagittarii and the signal would have to travel 122 years from there ... if its a reflected signal it would have to travel roundabout ~244 years
sounds like: It's a monster that could appear in the middle of 10 seconds if he wants. He says he wants...
This wow sound is telling you that you should use the energy sound in this sound which is useful for your life, that is, you hear the sound coming out of the sun by putting it in it.
Im lost near the facility, Area 1051. To me it sounds like a message that has to do with are 51. To me he calls Area 51 a facility and he says he is lost somewhere there. but Why in english

Delta 10-61 is an airliner. This is probably a recording of an accident. So yes it is a hoax. The real recording is nothing more but signal amplitude data.

Wolf Leader 14 yes, it's not his hoax. I don't know who even started it.
Are you sure he even say Delta?
PCUser013 oh... Hm...
10-61 usually means a personnel in the area in police code. In other states like VA or CA, it could mean other things like a bike theft or a void in a certain card. As for fh1, that's a level of a K9 unite.
What my theorie is when military services will send out secret modules that transmit secret messages like this and secret agency's will crack it with multiple decoders

Kun Chien I liked that he included how he did it.

*facepalm*
a 10-61 is police chatter for stopping a suspicious vehicle. my guess, this signal somehow bounced off a lot of shit and hit satellites up in space and bouced back down here and got distorted.
I've convinced myself that I'm hearing something like "I've lost (unintelligible) sierra 10-61" or "I've lost (unintelligible) sierra 10-30C1"
where can you download this MP3?
try google for example :) xD or somewhere on youtube, that is full of it
If you mean the original slowed down version, you can just use youtube to mp3.
There was not any audio equipment used for the recording of the signal. If you believe this , I have a bridge for sale in NYC CHEAP
Peter Yumi a bridge for sale? in NYC?
i am just asking for the mp3 of this sound xP
I mean by that if you're gullible enough to believe there is an actual recording of the wow signal , i can sell you a bridge in NYC. There was never an audio recording made of the WOW signal, it was just a print out from a dot matrix printer that showed something out of the ordinary. Its nice to think there was, but there never was an audio recording.
Sounds like he is saying "ten sixty one" at the end.
The Mean Conservative Figured the same here :D
People are saying there is no "sound with the "wow" signal but all radio telescopes are picking up sound. That's how the constant hiss that was heard through the the first radio telescope was part of the reason they discovered how old the universe was. If anyone doubts what I am saying watch any documentary about the very first radio telescope. The "Wow" signal WAS recorded as a sound that a computer put into binary code. It makes it much easier to see an anomalie at a glance. But they often don't let people hear the actual signal because they didn't know where it was coming from and they didn't know if it could have been a secret Russian transmission at the time. If this is the real "wow" signal recording then this is amazing!!!! I hear the words "I lost - - - - -?" It's hard to make out the rest. Another signal from space that was decoded by an English astronomer named Duncan Luna is equally amazing and not much about it has been released to the public. But look it up if you find this video interesting because that one will knock your socks off too. Great post!
Its a police radio message. "We lost him at 7pm. 10.61 fh1" Meaning guy causing domestic disturbance has done a runner so send in the dogs
Minimal funding on the SETI programme meant minimal abservation at the time. Big ear was only set to record radiation frequency blips at 12 second intervals. All the wow signal is are 6 blips 12 seconds appart (lasting 72 seconds) that record radio frequency levels 30 times higher than normal backround space levels for 6 blips before returning to normal. The enteresting thing about it is that the frequency is at 21cm. The same as that of visible light
And "sixty one" in the end
It´s a relief to know that these aliens speak English language in that part of the universe. Pfft!
It sounds like the signal is a military communication broadcast. I think that the signal says "I've lost them, the went through the 1061." the voice is speaking english, which is very weird.
"we lost him at 7pm, we have a 10-61 fh1" Police lingo, 10-61 is a certain type of call and i believe the fh1 refers to the type of dogs they have tracking the lost subject.
This is what I hear.
"I'm lost, it won't appear until they pick me up, get visual."
It was probably a bounce signal from a radio transmission that came from a jam of an unknown station, don't worry, it sounds like humans, it actually said "we lost him, at 7pm, 10-61, 10-61?"
after 10-61 i think he said - ''do you have a visual?'' but that is not possible that other civilizations speak ANY of our world's language loll.think about it people.
nope, james silva ( the guy above you ) proved that is a signal from the future, that NASA sent. Then the NASA (???) got in a Delorean DMC-12 and randomly traveled through time
L I E S. The Wow signal was never recorded. Only its amplitude at 12-second intervals was noted.
Q:I would like to obtain an audio tape of the "Wow!" signal. Can you provide that to me?
A:At the time Big Ear recorded the radio signal that later became known as the "Wow!" signal (based on the notation that Dr. Jerry Ehman wrote in the margin of the computer printout), there was no audio recording equipment attached to the output of that radio telescope. Hence, it is impossible to provide an audio tape of that signal.
Just a heads up "millions of light years" the signal came from a star cluster only 200 light years away.
it sounded to me "we lost a facilitator in a 1061" sounds like a military or government signal
These comets, known as 266P/Christensen and 335P/Gibbs, have clouds of hydrogen gas millions of kilometers in diameter surrounding them. The Wow! Signal was detected at 1420MHz, which is the radio frequency hydrogen naturally emits. Notably, the team has verified that the comets were within the vicinity at the time, and they report that the radio signals from 266/P Christensen matched those from the Wow! signal.
I would not be surprised at all if it turned out to be a plane radio.
That's freaking clever! Sounds like police band.
Not the real wow signal (because it wasn't recorded like that), but I got this instead of police chatter everyone else mentions: "The propulsion will disappear until the jet takes fuel." I guess audio paredolia works in odd ways?
After listening to it i heard a human voice speaking english sounding like he was giving out numbers
Clearly human voices of pilots or astronauts. Interresting.
A 10-61 is stopping a suspicious vehicle so the police could have been in a car chase when the lost them
It may be no correlation to this, but listening closely enough I was hearing "Seven - Zero - "Double" Ten - Sixty-one" after the inaudible section in the beginning, now just from curiosity I put it into coordinates using the same numbering, and it came up with four different locations, One being northern Russia ( "N/E" Yamalsky District, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia), two being Antarctica ( "S/E" ) again Antarctica ( "S/W ) and lastly Canada ( 'N/W' Nunavut X0A, Canada)
Double entry of the 70,10,1061 came up as
70.4613889 Longitude and 70.46138888888889 Latitude, then signifying "N/E/S/W"
Take a look into it, see if anything interesting come up at those locations
" I think i'm a lost here, i can see activity in a Dev-And-Sec 10-61, this is the one "
"think i´ve lost you"... "we have activity and a double ten sixty one"
You can make speech from every sound out there if edited right.. Keep in mind that the "WOW" signal of course also includes sounds from earth. It's space. We're shooting radio signals etc like bullets out there..
Dave chapell as president said it best
"Abriham Lincoln was shot with a magic bullet. Yes, magic does exist, we've known this for some 2,000 years"
Alien is spooky wooky.
Don't be spook'd by the alien.
The question is? Why the aliens speak english. Because all hear 10 61 ,but they speak human languages?
Sounds to me like a man saying "I'm lost near 7 P.M., Tell 'em 1061."
There's also another voice in the background that just sounds like it said "Um, earlier."
This also sounds like a radio comm. system, like on a plane.
It translates: "no need to army notify, we come in pieces"...
the sow signal was never recorded, only written down on paper. also, the used fequency was about 15mHz. the human ear can't hear beyond 20kHz.
new musician alert!
mattiemaas 16 hz is the lowest we can hear and why ULF is being used so much.
I don't agree. We hear less beyond 20khz I think. But I definatly can tell the difference when it's there or not.
It's probably a radio signal that echo'ed trough space of earth and came back. It sounds like the persons says: We lost him at 7 pm at 10,61. This coordinates are in the Indian ocean neer Oman.
In strongs concordance if you look up the frequency, it's Majestic/ Greatness and Star(2 uses) and stars (35) times. Sagittarius.
Its a police radio message. "We lost him at 7pm. 10.61 fh1" Meaning guy causing domestic disturbance has done a runner so send in the dogs
I heard "I've lost the sensitivity in the 10 61" i think it is an SOS
Maybe it could have been one of our signals that went out a decade or so ago and then bounced off of something and then came directly back at us.
Has anyone ever thought that the signal cannot be decoded by machine but rather by elevating our own personal vibrational frequency? We are vibrational beings that operate on a low frequency. If we can become spiritually enlightened and learn to increase our frequency then maybe we could hear it clearly.
This autoplayed after another video and all of a sudden it was coming out of my TV and I was so confused and scared.
ThanksObama
Q&A from BigEar site.
Q:I would like to obtain an audio tape of the "Wow!" signal. Can you provide that to me? A:At the time Big Ear recorded the radio signal that later became known as the "Wow!" signal (based on the notation that Dr. Jerry Ehman wrote in the margin of the computer printout), there was no audio recording equipment attached to the output of that radio telescope. Hence, it is impossible to provide an audio tape of that signal.
Well that sucks. I wad looking for to hearing it.

I do hope I'm not the only one that heard "I'm lost *static* secured the area 10 61"
It sounds to me like an old police radio. "10 61" is code for following a suspicious vehicle.
That thing could very much be human. Anyone else think this is someone stuck in space or a research on space or somethin?
Maybe it was pointing at an alien race that studied our language and our culture? Maybe they have our type of radio technology? What if the signal was from another dimension? Maybe they have some sort of translator so they can make the "Wow" signal actually become readable when you do some technical record editing? The possibilities are endless. Now that I think of it, it's disturbing to hear someone out there even if it's not an alien race. What if it was astronauts stranded on a planet and NASA disregards their plea of help and they abandon them? Since it's 2014 now, are they still alive? Who knows. Only time will tell.
Damn i don’t remember posting this comment
wow signal, but the voice of a person WOW!
gentlemen... that's NOT the original wow signal recording. The original sounds SOOOO different!
