The 72-Second Wow! Signal That Was 30x Louder Than Space

The Wow! signal is still the strongest alien hunt ever recorded — a 72-second blast 30 times louder than space heard on August 15, 1977 and never again. This film traces the search from Fermi's 'Where is everybody?' lunch question and Frank Drake's equation to Project Ozma, the pulsar false alarm, the 1974 Arecibo message to M13 and the Voyager Golden Records. It revisits Big Ear's 6EQUJ5 printout, why Breakthrough Listen, Green Bank and MeerKAT still find silence, and what a possible biosignature on exoplanet K2-18b really means.
