Is humanity equipped for extraterrestrial contact?
The Wow! Signal Equations
Wow! Signal Movement Confirmed Toward Earth?
Introduction:
The Wow! signal, detected in 1977, has long stood as one of the most tantalizing enigmas in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. For decades, it remained the sole credible candidate for a radio signal of potential non-human origin—a fleeting blip of cosmic intrigue, frozen in speculation. Yet until now, a critical piece of the puzzle has been absent: rigorous mathematical validation of its motion relative to Earth.
This series of articles presents, for the first time, the calculations confirming that the Wow! signal was not static but moving toward our planet at a velocity of 10.526 km/s—a revelation that fundamentally transforms its interpretation.
By applying Doppler shift principles to the signal’s observed parameters, this analysis upends prior assumptions, shifting the Wow! phenomenon from a stationary anomaly to a dynamic entity en route to Earth. The implications are profound, challenging the scientific community to re-examine decades of discourse on the signal’s origin and meaning.
If verified, this discovery compels a paradigm shift: no longer can we relegate the Wow! signal to mere curiosity. It invites us to confront the possibility—once speculative, now mathematically grounded—that we are not alone. The consequences ripple beyond astronomy, urging a re-evaluation of humanity’s place in the cosmos and the narratives we construct to explain it.

The WOW! signal, Part 1: Not made by humans?
At a quarter past ten in the evening on August 15, 1977 a once-in-a-lifetime event took place in Delaware: A very strong signal arrived at the “Big Ear” radio telescope. It had all the characteristics of having come from an extraterrestrial intelligent source. No one was at the telescope at the time. The receiver and telescope computer were doing their jobs all by themselves. Therefore, the signal was actually first detected by a machine, a twelve-year-old computer. BITS OF INFORMATIONThe IBM 1130 had first been built in 1965. It looked and felt like an old battleship. It had only 1 […]
The WOW! Signal, Part 2: Evidence Suggests Origin from Unknown Object, Moving Towards Earth
Just the facts: PDF: Doppler Blueshift Calculations for WOW! signal (1977): download here | Discussion on the paper: Academia.edu Preamble In 2022, I published The WOW! signal, Part 1: Not made by humans?. For the longest time (3 years), I wondered why I left the possibility open for “Part 2” instead of just writing “The End.” It’s now become clear that Part 2 is essential because it includes an important detail that was missing before: EQUATIONS! Anyone can write anything, but without mathematical equations, it’s just prose. So, here, now, for anyone to check, are the steps required to verify the […]
The Wow! Signal: A Cosmic Riddle Solved by Mathematics?
Can a mathematical equation be considered evidence that the source of the Wow! signal approached Earth (and was of extraterrestrial origin)? This discussion is about the paper “The Wow! Signal Doppler Shift Equations“: Mathematical equations can be considered evidence, but the context in which they are used is crucial. This is particularly evident when we examine events like the Wow! Signal, where data interpretation plays a significant role. In the case of the Wow! signal, which was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by the Big Ear radio telescope in 1977, considering a mathematical equation as evidence requires careful consideration. […]
From Hydrogen Fusion to Alien Signals: A 1977 UFO Enigma Unravels
I have been contemplating the implications of the blue shift observed in the Wow! signal equations, as well as the nature of its source. Background: this article explains the Wow! signal equations: So, why would the Wow! signal have been blue-shifted? Hydrogen-Fusion Drive 1: The signal source is the emission of a hydrogen fusion drive for object deceleration. Hydrogen fusion drives currently exceed human technology. The signal source “object” had a speed similar to that of Apollo capsules during their entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. I am not categorically suggesting that this “object” entered the atmosphere; rather, I am stating […]

The Wow! signal melody is released.
In the Key of the Cosmos: A Signal Sung from the Stars“The Wow! signal melody” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and many others… Consider, if you will, a sequence of symbols—6EQUJ5—etched into the annals of astronomy, a cryptic whisper from the depths of space. Once, it was a burst of radio waves, the Wow! signal, a fleeting enigma that haunted our telescopes. Now, in February 2025, it has become a melody. A human act of alchemy, transmuting mathematics into music, static into song. Here, in this humble arrangement, the numbers and letters unfurl as notes: a progression both melancholic and […]

1977: The Year We Made Contact?
The year 1977 was a remarkable time for those fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life. A series of events, both earthbound and celestial, captivated the imagination of people around the world. These events sparked a renewed interest in the search for life beyond our planet. It began on August 15, 1977, when a strong, narrowband radio signal was detected by a radio telescope at Ohio State University. Dubbed the “Wow!” signal, it remains one of the most intriguing examples of an unexplained signal in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Just five days later, on August 20, 1977, NASA […]
