The Wow! signal has long been a topic of debate amongst astronomers hunting for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. Detected by Jerry R. Ehman, the 72 second signal appeared to have originated from outside our solar system. It's name comes from a computer printout of the signal on which Ehman had written the word 'Wow!' in red ink.National Geographic are now working with the Aricebo Observatory to encrypt and send a response to the signal to coincide with the launch of their new 'Chasing UFOs' TV series.
