Fallout – How does a dweller “explore 1 location in the wasteland?”

I recently got this task on a new vault. I don't understand what it means. I've had dwellers explore the wasteland for a while but haven't met this objective.Am I missing something?

This is a reference to the random encounters that happen to Wasteland explorers. You have to have an Overseer's office (any level) to get them. They only come up while the game is running; they will not happen once you exit. There's a morse-code-sounding noise when they come up, like a radio transmission, and the icon to either Enter or Ignore it appears below your dweller number gadget in the upper left of the user interface. You do NOT have to have built a radio station. The objective is completed once you return the explorer to the Wasteland; you don't have to wait until they come back to the Vault.
