Hey everyone!
Welcome back to most amazing top 10, Im your host Che Durena.
So before everyone had smartphones one of the main ways people would transfer information
would be the radio.
And their have been some really scary messages sent through the old timey device.
That’s why today I’m going to be counting down through the top 10 scariest radio transmissions.
As always make sure you like comment subscribe and hit the little notification bell.
Make sure you stick around for the top 3 because I want to know which order you would put them
in.
And without taking any more time lets get into it.
10 Yosemite Sam
If you don’t know Yosemite Sam he’s the rootin tootin cowboy from the looney toons
whos always trying to kill bugs bunny with probably the best moustache in the game.
Now what does he have to do with radio transmissions.
Well back in 2004 some people started picking up a radio signal with his voice on it.
It was right before christmas and if you tuned into a frequency just right then you hear
him yell you Varmint, I’m gonna bloooow ya to smithereens.
This would repeat about every 50 seconds.
This is obviously very strange, was this a subtle marketing ploy by warner brother to
try and make the looney toons relevant again?
Well it managed to grab the attention of a couple radio jockeys and they went investigating.
They were able to trace the signal back to its original location.
The jockeys were in san diego California and they traced the signal all the way back to
Albuquerque New Mexico.
It was coming from a US army base known as MATIC or Mobility Assessment test and Integration
center.
This is a Military base used to test many different military systemes.
Once the signal was traced back the transmissions stopped and any reports on the matter disappeared.
I bet those radio DJs are way better at minding their own business
9 The Two tones
If your ever vacationing in russia or just flying out to visit everyone's pal Vladimir
Putin then you might be able to tune into the following signal.
The two tones signal or as its also known as The Squeaky Wheel, surfaced in 2000.
It’s a station that uses a very plan dual tone signal, let’s have a listen.
The rumor is its running from a russian military base and the never ending alarm clock noise
is used to keep the line open incase they need to send out an emergency message to military
forces.
However, there are some pretty juicy conspiracy theories about this channel.
Like that the constant signal is being sent out into space as someway to communicate with
extraterrestrial life or that the russians are using the frequency as some way to communicate
with the dead.
Who really knows?
Next time you're in russia ask old Valdy Poutes and he’ll probably tell ya.
8 The Gong
Tensions between America and russia have always been high.
They built their country on two counter ideals.
Russia has communism and bear circuses and America has capitalism and literally no bear
circuses.
But after world war two up until the 70s something would pop up all over the world that was thought
to be a Russian ploy to mess with america.
It was a radio station that would first play a gong
And then later it would play this russian chanting.
It's still a mystery to this day as to what the gong station was.
There are many theories as to how this happened.
Most people who’ve been digging into this think that it was Russia trying to flex hard
on the rest of the world.
Showing everyone they could broadcast a signal into any country if they wanted to.
Some others have gone deeper down the rabbit hole and suspect it was an activation code
for sleeper cell agents all over the world.
Activating the dormant winter soldiers waiting to spring into action.
But no one really knows
7 The never ending station
Here’s another one that comes straight from mother russia, it seems that russia is planning
something huge that is gonna come threw every car radio that was made before 2005.
Well this next one is known as the pip or the drop.
The reason we call it the never ending station is because the Pip as been going solid with
no breaks since 1986.
That’s putting in some huge overtime.
All day it stays on one frequency and makes one continuous noise and then at night it
switches to a different frequency and continues the same noise.
Every so often it will be interrupted by someone talking in russian.
From what I researched it seems that the station is used by the russian government.
But the more conspiracy side of things have said that it’s not the government at all
but russian rebel forces finding a way to covertly send coded messages to each other.
6 The Backwards music station
This one is very strange because unlike the others it has no clear messaging.
I know the name is the backward music station but that’s not what gets played over this
station, it’s creepy noises that so far have no explanation.
I think people named it that just so they could make some sense of it.
This station could be found randomly all over america and europe right up until 2009.
It might still be active but there haven’t been any reports of it since then.
There are no confirmed explanations for this one, the more grounded theories suggest that
it is some sort of magnetic interference but you don’t come Most amazing top 10 for grounded
theories on things.
My favourite one is that the signal is an Alien mind control noise, that aliens are
using this strange frequency to take over people's bodies and spy on us.
5 Cosmonaut call out
If your a radio DJ in, you guessed it, Russia.
It must be very stressful.
You’re constantly getting jumbled secret messages, strange frequencies, I bet if you
say the wrong thing on air they fire you and you have to do hard labor for 10 years.
But apparently you can also get some messages from space.
In may 1961 two russian radio host got this message coming through their radio station.
It’s a woman’s voice who is said to possibly be a russian astronaut.
In the message she says, I am hot, I see flames, I will reenter, yes yes, breathing oxygen.
However, the origin is all speculation as no exact information has ever been disclosed.
It sounds like it could have been a transmission from the first woman ever to go to space.
4 The Walking dead
Back in 2013 people in montana got a huge Scare.
A message came over their emergency network warning them that the dead was rising.
I feel like people in montana would probably get excited.
It’s basically target practice.
But this was obviously a hoax.
I think if the dead came back to life it would be something I would remember.
A hacker manage to get access to their emergency broadcast system and pulled a prank on the
whole state.
This is top shelf level pranking, I don’t know who this guy is but all I can say is
bravo.
3 Vladimir Komarov
What are some of the most dangerous jobs out there.
You got Ice road truckers, deep sea scuba divers, crab fisherman, basically any job
TLC makes a show about.
But what about flying the first russian spaceship.
That has to be high on my list of hard pass.
Well Vladimir Komarov was the lucky duck who got to fly this bucket of bolts into the unknown
void.
On the ships inspection there were over 200 reported problems but the russians were keen
on beating the americans to space so they decided to ignore the pesky safety report.
Vladimir knew that he would most likely die if he took this flight but he took the job
because if he didn’t the russian military would force the next best guy to do it, who
was Vladimirs best friend.
He took the job to save his buddy, that real bro, like real ride or die, or ride so you
don’t die.
Upon reentry he sent out this message.
The space ship was so poorly designed that the heat build up ended up killing Vladimir,
but not before be sent out a message cursing all the people who put him in the spacecraft.
He went out like a G.
2 Alien message
Back in 2017 a local radio station in Wofford Heights got taken over and started playing
this message
It continues like that for a little over a minute.
One of the weirdest parts about it is where the song titles are normally displayed it
has changed to the word hello.
People think it was aliens trying to reach out to us.
I guess they think were really into binary.
1 Area 51
I don’t know if you guys listen to talk radio but it’s basically podcasting before
podcasting.
It was usually pretty lame but this one is amazing.
In 1997 radio talk show host art bell received a call from someone who claimed to be a former
employee of Area 51.
I won’t say anything else you just need to listen.
We can’t play the whole clip here but he goes on to talk about how aliens have infiltrated
the government, they’re planning attacks on major population centers and then the broadcast
mysteriously gets cut off.
Listen to the whole thing it literally gave me goosebumps.
Well everyone that’s our list!
Like always make sure you like comment subscribe and hit the little notification bell.
If you know more about the Area 51 caller leave something in the comments!
I love all that creepy stuff.
Until next time I’ve been you’re host Che Durena and I’m going to stop talking
about aliens before they come find me.
