As part of the promotional campaign for The National Geographic Channel's new series, "Chasing UFOs," a reply to the famous WOW! signal will be sent to the stars using the Arecibo Observatory"s radio telescope.
The WOW! signal, detected in 1977 by Ohio State's Big Ear SETI effort, is the most tantalyzing signal yet found by any SETI search. It had the characteristics scientists expect to see in a true alien signal. The problem is that, despite repeated searches by SETI programs of the area of the sky from which the signal came, nothing like it has been found since.
