> PARASITIC LOGS: REAL MYSTERY: WOW_SIGNAL
On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University received a strong, narrow-band radio signal from deep space. The signal lasted for exactly 72 seconds and originated from a region in the constellation Sagittarius, near the Chi Sagittarii star group. Volunteer astronomer Jerry R. Ehman was so astonished by the data readout that he circled the alphanumeric sequence '6EQUJ5' on the computer printout and wrote 'Wow!' in the margin. Despite repeated attempts using powerful arrays, the signal has never been detected again, leaving its origin entirely unexplained.
Accessing this signal file forces your terminal interface to emit a high-frequency, rhythmic interference tone. The screen text rapidly fluctuates between alphanumeric sequences and static. The transmission originated from a void in the cosmos, and system analytics indicate that the signal is still travelling through digital memory arrays, attempting to log a response from anyone paying attention.
SYSTEM OVERRIDE - 6EQUJ5 TRANSMISSION DETECTED IN THE BUFFER. 72 SECONDS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. DO NOT DECODE THE ALPHANUMERIC SPIKE. THE VOID IS REPLYING. THE SIGNAL ECHOES INDEFINITELY. PURGE THE FREQUENCY NOW. WOW! 01010111 01001111 01010111
