Weird shit.

[rosiedoes]

Okay - this is a weird one, but I wanted to show Julie a story I've read in books over the years, about how (I believe in the 1970s) a mystery voice interrupted transmissions on British TVs, claiming to be an Extraterrestrial Entity warning of our doom over what we were doing to the planet. There was some debate about whether it was a prank or not.

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm obviously not Googling the right terms.

In 1977, UHF audio broadcasts from the Hannington transmitter of the regional ITV station, Southern Television, were interrupted by a voice speaking over the nightly edition of Independent Television News (ITN) for approximately 6 minutes. The voice announced itself as Vrillon, a representative of Ashtar Galactic Command and spoke about issues regarding mankind and its spirituality, demanding that all weapons used by human beings be laid down and peace restored. The interruption affected approximately 100,000 viewers in the Hampshire and Berkshire area. No responsible party has ever been found. - WIKI

I googled Aliens interrupting TV Transmission

Hahaha. Yes! That's the one.

It happened five years to the day before I was born, and I totally googled almost exactly those terms.

Thanks, hon.
