How significant are unexplained signals?
Not very. As described immediately above, Project Phoenix is one of the few SETI searches that can immediately check out candidate signals. So far, none has proven to be extraterrestrial, but instead are radar, telecommunications satellites, etc. Finding a signal once, but never again, is unconvincing evidence for ET. A well-known signal picked up in 1977 by SETI researchers at Ohio State University is known as the “Wow” signal. However, it was never seen a second time, and is presumed to be unidentified interference.
