Named the WOW signal (as an engineer wrote WOW on the data as it came in!), it is still being considered as one of the best examples of having been sent a signal from intelligent extraterrestrial life. But, nothing has revolutionized the search of extraterrestrial intelligent life as much as the recent discovery by the Kepler Satellite of thousands of Earth-like planets where life could be possible.
