Should note the other half of the context.

Although the Wow! signal had no detectable modulation—a technique used to transmit information over radio waves—it remains the strongest candidate for an extraterrestrial radio transmission ever detected.[3]

Radio bursts happen and are natural, this always sounds like perfect timing and a fluke to me.

But they called it the Wow! signal, so it must be impressive! Does the exclamation point mean nothing to you???

It obviously means Owen Wilson is the source of the signal and an alien.

They could only detect modulation longer than 10 seconds leaves a shit load of possible modulation.
