      Are you talking about the SETI ‘Wow’ signal? This lasted for 72 seconds – and comes from the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. The thing is that even though that part of the sky was observed again and, the signal was never repeated. There is still no convincing explanation for what caused it – ET or not!
