My Grandfather and the men he worked with would always keep my head swimming with amazing stories when I was a boy, but the ones that stuck with me trough adulthood were about the "Godspeech". They are recordings, usually something uninteresting and trivial, news broadcasts, people reading poetry,etc. They would put them out in the test sites and when they went back to listen they would be garbled and new sounds would be added, usually music or morse code blips.
They spent a good while trying to figure out what had happened and if it meant anything, finally coming to the conclusion that it was merely coincidence. I, however, totally disagree. There has to be some outside force influencing these recordings to make them sound like this. I've included one here and you can clearly hear 'designation' or 'destination' DM17JN10 in the scrambles. That was absolutely not on the original tape.
Anyway, I digress, my Grandad and his colleagues found and cataloged something like 3 years worth of "godspeech" recordings. Most of them sounded like they were telling a horrifying story about the end of the world and a rift in reality.
Obviously I'm fascinated with them, but I can't seem to find anymore of them. Hopefully I can find more in with his personals or around his house when we go through them.
