Disclaimer: I am posting this purely for fun, open-minded speculation. I don't know if the TV broadcast was a hoax, and I am not claiming these two events are physically linked. I just found the matching 1977 timeline fascinating and wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this connection before. Hi everyone! I just ran across that weird 1977 television transmission hijack and immediately remembered the Wow! signal happened that exact same year. I started digging around to see if anyone has...

The 1977 WOW! SIGNAL - Was the message from an extraterrestrial (ET) Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) - Is now the time to reach back?

RT @Rainmaker1973: The WOW! Signal received from space in 1977 https://t.co/ybbNa9xMiD

Jerry Ehman circled the printout and wrote "WOW!" after spotting a powerful 72-second radio signal from Sagittarius. 😱 Detected by the Big Ear telescope on August 15, 1977, it was over 30 times brighter than the galactic background on the 21cm hydrogen wavelength that SETI believes an intelligent civilization might choose to communicate on. The signal has never been heard again. Was this our first contact with extraterrestrials? Or a one time cosmic coincidence? What do you think?
