lol that would be terrifying to see live

 

[MattyH]

It's from a Tool album, can't remember which one, but at least that's where I've heard the recording before.

they used the art bell area 51 call on the track "Faaip de Oiad"

 

[Einchy]

I didn't see it live, but I vividly recall the news reports the day after it happened. My family thought it was hilarious.

Oh? Did they own a Max Headroom mask by chance? Were they l337 hackers?

 

[Altazor]

The 51st State is Not a Place.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Pretty sure it was a blurb from an old art bell coast to coast am episode

 

[NullPointer]

Sounds like the Discordians freaking the mundanes.

 

[Korigama]

Sounded more like an old-school Toonami commercial than anything else.

 

[NotLiquid]

Oh man finally. I've been waiting for the fifth Tool album forever.

 

[Tranqueris]

Puts me in the mood to click through the ol' Local 58 channel again.

I love the idea of a government telling people to kill themselves because they've been invaded. None of this resistance shit, just blow your brains out the first chance you get lol.

 

[Dude Abides]

Oh we just happened to have this weird-ass war of the worlds-esque sound clip lying around and played it by accident. Whoopsy daisy!

 

[Kenstar]

it's a jumpscare spook video, here's some real stuff instead (CW: flashing lights, loud) (with less end of world)

Contingency isn't a jumpscare video at all tho

 

[Graphics Horse]

Did the Area 51 message mentioned in the other thread happen or just a youtube fake?

 

[Canklestank]

Why does that voice sound familiar? It sounds like a clip from a speech or sermon or something.

EDIT: I think it sounds familiar because it just sounds like a cliche garbled voice. It kind of reminds me of a commercial for some reason.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Isnt the world supposed to end tomorrow tho?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Did the Area 51 message mentioned in the other thread happen or just a youtube fake?

Seems fake. You would have to really dig to find that clip on YouTube, there’s really no way to “accidentally” play that.

Why does this video unnerve me so much more than scary internet pictures? I don't know why but I felt a huge force of uneasiness and fear as I continued watching the video.

I stopped at a point though.

 

[partime]

HAHA I heard it yesterday while driving.

Was listening to Christian radio, thought it was odd that they cut to an old serman about end of times.

Lol, then it went back to normal.

Lol, then it went back to normal.

so, someone managed to phreak into a christian station right as the EAS test starts. Well, that's certainly one way to make a splash.

This reminds me of when Houston? had their civil alert sirens all turned on by a similar kind of attack

 

[Esiquio]

Haha. Awesome.

I saw this live.

WHOA, really? Give some details, I don't know anyone that saw it live.

"Sorry, it was just a hoax"

I'm picturing the ending of The Mist with that...

 

[Zubz]

"Sorry, it was just a hoax"

I love that you can see the instructions for an accidental airing of that clip burned into the background at the start of the "Hoax" message. With the instructions literally stating "Play the 'Hoax' message in case of accidental broadcast of actual message."

 

[Pesmerga00]

This reminds me of the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast in the 30's. At least we have the Internet to verify things.

Didn't catch that haha... Whoa.

 

[Jzero]

Whoa reminded me of Black Mirror for some reason

 

[Lee Chaolan]

This guy reminds me of the Moon Man character from McDonalds

 

[Strike]

I already found these things pretty unnerving when I was a kid. This would've definitely freaked me out.

 

[Jason Frost]

YIKES!

Spoiler

With all these hurricanes, earthquakes, and violent protests..... maybe not far from the truth....

It's the end of the world as we know it.

 

[Apt101]

Sounded demonic. Eeesh.

I remember back when I had cable TV (also Cox) one of these alerts came on while I was chilling, and instead of the normal test audio I am pretty sure it was Attack of the Show. One of those G4 shows.

 

[Drkirby]

And this is why we have tests.

Yup. It's always creepy when you can hear something in the background of one of those alerts. Speaking of which, why have we only been linking to the one Local 58 video when the Emergency Broadcast one fits just as well?

Might be a bit tough to fit in the

one into this thread, though.

 

[bengraven]

Man that would've been hilarious if they did it on Saturday. On the day of the eclipse.

 

[BTails]

Love this story, but honestly I’d be pissed if I saw this live, because Horror of Fang Rock is a killer Doctor Who story, and wholly undeserving of being interupted.

 

[madstarr12]

Lol, I'm in Orange County, but I didn't hear anything.

 

[Zubz]

I dunno, I think it'd be worth it to have a moment that feels like it was out of the actual show.

 

[jstripes]

They don't make things like they used to.

Haha. Awesome.

I saw this live.

Wow, damn. I'm actually envious.

AVOID MIRRORS

Well it does say Insurmountable forces.

 

[Zubz]

Well it does say Insurmountable forces.

Yup. My guess was that the message was prepared in case of a known supernatural force making a move.", while still taking a nationalistic approach to make it seem patriotic instead of Eldritch.

Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight.

 

[Spectone]

Cue the conspiracy theorist.

The world did end but all those people going around as if it didn't happen are just actors because of some reason that is beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
