Screenshot of text from a scientific paper copyediting proof reading "inclination I of the star's spin-axis", except "star's" has been crossed out and rewritten exactly the same way.

The Wow signal is my favorite "anomaly" of his, because acting like a 9 degree separation is anywhere near "close" in a 3D, massive universe is completely bonkers. There is, at *minimum*, over half a light-year between the origin points (assuming it's farther than our closest neighbor star).
