Listening to am radio tonight.
Local station only a few miles away comeing in clear and strong. All of a sudden the program goes dead air, folowed by a man saying something in a language I cannot place. Just sounded like jibberish.
Then there were a few odd electronicy noises,some buzzing sounds and the program came back on.

I turned up my radio and I could just bearly hear the program I was listening too in the background.
and what ever it was comeing in pretty strong.

Pretty weird, lasted about a minute.

I should add I'm a Ham, I know what werid kinda signals you can pick up and this was too clear and too werid to be skip of a distant station.

Sounds like the time that Ian Punnet called in after taking ambien.


Seriously though, that sounds like some sort of signal intrusion?

My educated guess was a nearby mobile transmitter that swamped the front end of your receiver which created odd harmonics. I live on a busy street and have heard similar unexplained bursts of intelligible signals which lasted but a brief moment.

Your next option: Lock and load, they are here and they want our brains.

I live for this kind of shit.

I'm not  a ham, but I listen to shortwave radio religiously. The band that I'm in is kind of experimental, and one of the instruments we built is a shortwave antenna with switches attached that act as keys that activate different frequencies. I also monitor stations religiously for any unusual activity. One night about six years ago,  I had the station on some frequency. There was some sound playing that I thought was interesting, so I listened to that for a while until it went off the air. After that, nothing but static. I'm as fond of static as I am of tones and automated  numbers, so I left it on and forgot all about it.

So I'm in my studio, working. By now it's about 4:00 am. After five hours of "shhhhhhhchchhch", a woman's voice comes on. She sounds like one of those phone operators in recorded messages from the 50's that you still sometimes get when you call a number on a land line that is no longer in service. She says, and I quote:

"Smoke cigarettes. Have unprotected sex. Drink toxic liquors. Let them poison your blood. Goodbye." and then it's followed by a tone.

Freaked me the fuck out.

Make fun of them all you want, genetically they are pure Scottish.

And have the dental hygiene to fit right in at the table over there.

Amen brother..amen.  And they have added 21st century technology to their considerable survival skills.  So dont go there acting all superior. Ancient Scotts hunted heads.
