The Very Large Array, near Socorro, New Mexico
On December 17, 2020, Dr. James Daly of Astronomy For Change interviewed Alberto Caballero, founder of the The Exoplanet Project and The SETI Project.
Alberto holds a Master’s degree and is the host of the “Exoplanets” YouTube channel whose focus is habitable exoplanets, extraterrestrial intelligence and Interstellar Travel. Alberto is also involved with the Habitable Exoplanet Hunting Project, an international collaboration of more than 30 observatories looking for nearby potentially habitable exoplanets. The team recently reported GJ 3470-C, the first exoplanet candidate fully discovered by amateur astronomers.
The project is looking for those individuals, individuals from every walk of life, who wish to become part of the greatest quest ever begun, the “Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence“.

Hi,
The wow signal could be of extraterrestrial origin. If true, it raises many questions.
A Caballero has identified some possible stars that the signal originated from. Given the distance of these stars from Earth, our planet could not have been the target of the wow signal, because it was emitted millennia ago, certainly emitted in our direction, but not for us. It was only by chance that the signal was received.
So the question is: toward whom or what was it emitted? In other words, are there stars in the opposite direction of the region of origin, with Earth considered as the center, such as stars similar to the Sun possibly the target of the wow signal? Would it be fruitful to explore this possibility?
Best regards,
H Lemaignen
