While the WLM was subject to several optical surveys (The most recent one is the ongoing Local Group Survey project conducted by the latest optical scanning equipment at Z-Point Station . A Tele Listener project with a Leedei Psi detector is also commenced from the same station. No Trans-Spatial Gate connection has been found so far. The great distance of 3.04 Million light years and no evident activity has put the WLM galaxy on the backburner of potential survey expeditions.
