On the 17th August 1977, something out in the vast nothings of the universe sent a radio signal our way, something that could very well be of extraterrestrial origins. This signal has since become known as the Wow! Signal, named in reference to the pictured printout by astronomer Jerry R. Ehman and his handwritten message.
Unlike a lot of evidence of extraterrestrial life, this one is pretty special seeing as the probability of it actually being aliens is significantly higher given how little the support for alternative theories is. These theories include Earth signals bouncing off space debris, hydrogen clouds left by comets, or that it wasn't even real in the first place.
But y'know what? It was aliens. It was, without a shadow of a doubt, straight up alien business.
