La opinión de Jerry R. Ehman, Ph. D.

Artículo de Jerry R. Ehman, Ph. D., en el 30 Aniversario de la señal Wow!

Aclara que la señal duró 72 segundos (y no 37 como se dice en algunos sitios). Y está convencido que la única explicación (hipótesis) que resta es la de inteligencia extraterrestre:

"Thus, since all of the possibilities of a terrestrial origin have been either ruled out or seem improbable, and since the possibility of an extraterrestrial origin has not been able to be ruled out, I must conclude that an ETI (ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) might have sent the signal that we received as the Wow! source. The fact that we saw the signal in only one beam could be due to an ETI sending a beacon signal in our direction and then sending it in another direction that we couldn't detect. Of course, being a scientist, I await the reception of additional signals like the Wow! source that are able to be received and analyzed by many observatories. Thus, I must state that the origin of the Wow! signal is still an open question for me. There is simply too little data to draw many conclusions. In other words, as I stated above, I choose not to "draw vast conclusions from 'half-vast' data". "
