If you're thinking of the "Wow" signal, it turned out to be a magnetar

Maybe aliens’ vaginas sounds like magnetars.

All joking aside, it took us almost 40 years to figure that out, the aliens have only had 30, and in the magnetars case we can use other celestial bodies to help figure that out. Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

I'd be happy to figure out an alien's vagina from scratch, just for the record.

An invaginated magnetar.
