Man - that's - disappointing. Now how about that "Bloop" sound in the Pacific?

Wow! What if the supreme being went "eenie, meenie, miny.." and picked on small planet from amongst the trillion galaxies to create the only intelligent life in the universe? One would think that SETI would have come up with something by now...

Yeah, right, it's a comet. Dude was probably watching some chick with a great caboose swinging it down the hall.

The next mystery: how does an iceball comet emit microwaves?

OK, queue the standard "wah, wah, waaaaaaah" sound of disappointment and failure. That's OK though. I don't mind my tax dollars being sent, literally in this case, into space, with very little prospect of a payoff. I just love how they predetermine parameters with information pulled from thin air, then get all excited when, on a purely random basis, they "hear" a signal matching those parameters. Un-effing-believable.

I'm sorry to have to point this out, but- 'Almost 40 years later, researchers from the Center for Planetary Science may have finally solved the mystery of the Wow! Signal's origin, and it's bad news for alien hopefuls: it was probably a comet...' This is a such a contradictory headline and statement, especially from 'precise and provable over and over again' scientists. As usual, they come out with a crap statement to prove they still do not know what caused the signal, but feel a need to silence all those expecting it to be 'Alien.' Saying it was 'probably a comet' is not solved, as 'probably a comet' means they do not have a clue.

Very interesting article. I appreciate this site for the unusual information

So clearly the aliens are equipping comets with death rays that resonate at the same frequency as hydrogen in order to camouflage their existence. Very clever.

Couldn't a similar algorithm tweaked for different gases be used to detect planets with an atmosphere similar to Earth?
