In 1977, the SETI Project telescopes detected a unique signal coming from the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. It was indicative of technological advancement as it stood out distinctly from the background "noise" of signals from space. It was so unique that the scientist who first saw the computer printout wrote the word "Wow" on it. The Wow Signal was, however, never translated. This is a take on that news story, and what if the Wow Signal HAD indeed been translated....

Part of the idea has been inspired by the depiction of Mother Earth as a Cow, when she approaches Lord Visnu along with the other demigods to save humankind from the demons, to pray to him with tears in her eyes, to take avatar and deliver us from evil. Part of the idea came from Kurma Rupa prabhu (the communities collecting around cows thingy).
The font in the computer terminal is Nal-Huttese from Star Wars, and the voice is Trinoids from my Macintosh

  • lol wow you people have way to much time on your hands.. sorry but that technology that translates such audio is not even in the public's hands for one.. and cows ... really? think you could have come up with a better one then that...

  • @LiveForTheHolyOne It was a joke, man! Plus, haven't you heard the constant association of UFOs and Cows and wondered why?

  • Oh, the date was just a take on that Singularity thing expected in 2012 - you told me that, remember?
