The amateur astronomer might solve the source of the famous Wow!-signal. And there is a similar star to our sun. 

The name of that astronomer who found where the Wow! (1)-signal came is Alberto Caballero (2). This is the big step for science, the first time the possibility that the Wow!-signal is coming from other civilizations has taken seriously. There is a possibility that the source of the signal is in the area where is the yellow star. The star is similar to our sun. That thing increases the interest in this mysterious signal that was heard in 1977. The Wow!-signal captured once, and then there were no such signals, what is remarkable. In some explanations, the comets caused the so-called Wow!-signal (3). 

If the source of that signal is some malfunctioned electric device that thing would happen more than once. And the radio telescopes would not recognize microwaves. Microwave telescopes are normally at the satellites away from the Earth's atmosphere. They are operating with radio frequencies. So that means that there is a possibility that the sender of that famous signal is a similar civilization, what we are. Or let's hope that they are not "too much" like us. 

The location of the star is probably calculated by using the method, where the point the Wow!-signal came calculate for both antennas of the "Big Ear"- telescope.  That thing eliminates the error in the computer code and gives two points, what are opposite side to both of them. And then the large optical telescopes can look at those points, or in this case, the researcher would just take the star lists for both of those points, and that thing could make possible that one amateur astronomer could locate the point, where that famous signal came. 

The thing that makes the Wow!-signal so interesting is that the signal could hear only once. That thing almost closes away from the possibility that the neutron star or pulsar is sending that signal.  But of course, there is a possibility that the neutron star is just fallen.  And change the direction of its poles. But I don't believe that thing even myself. So the Wow!-signal is one of the most fascinating signals ever captured. 

If the sender of this signal is the alien race, the reason why it is sent is a mystery. In some theories, the Wow!-signal meant for some kind of lighthouse or calibration tool. But that thing is a hypothesis. But if there is a similar star with our sun at the location, where the signal came. That thing increases the interest in that mysterious signal what was captured in 1977.
