Reading the whole article before posting would be much appreciated.

UVB-76 is the callsign of a shortwave radio station that usually broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz. It's known among radio listeners by the nickname The Buzzer. It features a short, monotonous buzz tone (help·info), repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day. The station has been observed since around 1982. On rare occasions, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place. Only three to four such events have been noted.
There is much speculation; however, the actual purpose of this station remains unknown.

Just today, the station went out for an hour, then it came back on, there has been morse code, buzzers, sirens, different sounds and various noises, including men talking.

You can listen here http://www.chilton.com/scripts/radio/gsm-audio.wav but you must refresh it every time it reaches the end.

This stuff is scaring the **** out of me.

O.O

So....what do they think it...like....does?
o.o
*Is confused*.

It is a nuclear facility, it is a "Dead Man's Switch" related to the "Dead Hand." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_(nuclear_war)

So if it has been acting up and shutting on an off, that either means one of two things.

Nuclear War is upon us, or they are trying to deactivate it due to inactivity.

Let's hope it is the latter.

 

[Grandeza]

nuclear war? I'm not worried ;P

 

[dealth0072]

Also coincidentally, it is the anniversary of D-Day. It has been in Russia ever since this thing started going crazy today...around the time it hit midnight for them.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

That's pretty freaky.

 

[Fuelbi]

Gotta... get... that... 25... killstreak... before... they... do...

 

[dealth0072]

There is a 4chan thread and Tinychat devoted to what is going on.

The tinychat is http://tinychat.com/uvb76

and I shall not link to the 4chan thread unless given permission to.

 

[Geist]

Creepy. >_>
No one really ever seems to trust the Russians to do anything non-threatening do they?

UPDATE: On stations surronding UVB at 7.015.00, strange voices of men and women with beeping and numbers can be heard.

I managed to record some of it for you guys to listen.

I thought this was a joke, but now I'm really scared like hell...

Anyways, I thought we were on good terms with the Russians ever since the Soviet Union fell apart

The Russies aren't suicidal. I'm not afraid.

 

[Grandeza]

Meh I don't see much of a reason to be worried.

 

[Fuelbi]

I dunno, maybe they still have a grudge against us or something...

 

[Mr.Freeman]

Mysterious messages always scare the crap out of me.

If it were aliens... shiiiiiiit.

 

[Fuelbi]

I'm gonna get pissed off at the Russians if they choose to nuke Miami, FL first

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

They just told me that's their first target.

 

[Fuelbi]

Noooooooooo

Now I have even more reason to get that 25 killstreak

 

[MPH Deku]

I dunno, maybe they still have a grudge against us or something...

Russia won't fire nukes at us out of a grudge, not unless they're willing to sacrifice their own country. Even if we can't retaliate with our own nukes we have allies that will do it for us.

If they have some well-thought-out method of delivering the nukes undetected, or of getting rid of the second strike, well, that's a different story.

Then maybe they're gonna nuke another country?

I dunno, I'm just pitching ideas here...

Didn't think of that. >_>

I really can't think of a country worth nuking that doesn't also have its own nukes or allies with nukes though.

 

[Fuelbi]

Could be the Chinese. I don't think they have allies and don't they have nukes?


Or maybe the Koreans o_O

 

[Colonel Cuddles]

Maybe it's made for if Russia's getting nuked, telling people to duck? Who knows. Anyways, I'm nuke proof, I'll just hop in my handy refrigerator!

 

[UberMario]

*cough*Georgia*cough*

Spoiler

I hope not though, but I'm sure Russia would love to reclaim "old territory".

I think we know who we would look at first to blame for aliens invading, Misssster Freeman.

LOL I won't mess with those people... they could have gundams.


edit:

this thread reminded me of the new Heroman anime. that aliens came to earth because a human tried to talk with aliens through radio waves. they got their "direction" and came to earth. I won't say anymore but STAN LEE appears in that anime. really.

I just completely lost my ****. This was ****ing hilarious.

 

[Fuelbi]

Guys, if the aliens invade, the president, along with complete n00bs, will ride figher planes to our rescue by shooting the core in an deus ex machina kind of way

 

[Jim Morrison]

i think this is stupid and you should read scary books

 

[Evil Eye]

I never thought I'd bear witness to genuine Cold War fearmongering in my adult life. I really thought the world was past that.

Christ.

 

[Teran]

I trust Putin to be a bit more sophisticated than to use some crappy old radio to start a nuclear war.

 

[BurnBurn]

Funny, cause a recent (but deceased) prophet says a war will start, and then become nuclear in a few months.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

so i read this at 4 am....

 

[Jim Morrison]

So I'm listening to this and I'm hearing infomercials wtf

 

[MCSR]

I found something on this today.
Apparently theres some vague news that this channel is being used to trigger bombs in South Korea early this month, leading to WW3.
Let us hope that we're being trolled.

 

[Pluvia]

Why would bombs going off in SK cause WW3?

 

[Fuelbi]

I always thought that WWs resulted due to a chain of events with alliances, or people pairing up in alliances.

Anyways, America has this. We'll just win like we've done in the past


Besides, who'll want to pair up with the recently dissolved Soviet Union and what some call the bane of the world's existence?

 

[MCSR]

Why would bombs going off in SK cause WW3?

Blame goes to NK, NK teams with China, everything goes crazy.

 

[DTP]

Paranoia at its finest....

 

[Pluvia]

Roach no one would win. If someone launches nukes we're all dead.
