One video of the broadcast uploaded to YouTube includes a terrified, breathless voice saying: “The space program made contact with... They are not what they claim to be. They have infiltrated a lot of, uh, a lot of aspects of military establishment, particularly Area 51. The disasters that are coming—the military—I’m sorry the government knows about them...”

Cox spokesperson Todd Smith told Gizmodo that the company does not know how many customers were affected and is still trying to determine where the originating signal came from. Cox believes its system got the message after a radio station or multiple stations were conducting their monthly emergency test, which cable networks piggyback on. Usually, radio stations transmit an end “tone” to complete their alerts. However, this time, it seems no such tone was transmitted.

So...yea. This kind of stuff can still happen is amazing.

bring it on

 

[Mariolee]

As if Trump wouldn't have leaked it already if it existed.

Agreed with OP, funny this can still happen.

 

[Fury451]

Well this is way too exciting to be real.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Can't go to the link but just that blurb sounds like it's the old "area 51 worker" call to Coast to Coast AM. Good call.

Sounds like the "before opening credits" section of a found footage sci fi horror film.

 

[Saganator]

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

 

[Common Knowledge]

I swore I heard that exact dialogue before. It's from a radio talk show back in the 90's, I believe.

 

[mjc]

Definitely creepy, but yeah that's from Coast to Coast and 99% fake.

 

[Northernlights]

That's from the art bell area 51 call

For those that don't know, this was likely done to spark more fear in those that actually believe that tomorrow (Sept. 23) is the end of the world, or make people think that it might be.

 

[marrec]

That's from the art bell area 51 call

Love that this call is so well known, Art Bell circa late 90s was the shit.

Fox news just ran a story http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/09/22/could-world-come-to-end.html

Its a christian doomsday that has roped in Planet X (Nibiru) as well.

See yall after the rapture...if I don't get reptured...I wont...Should that worry me?

 

[Plesiades]

J.J. is at it again!

 

[Pandy]

Yup, clicking the article was worth it for this description:

Most famously, still-unidentified hackers hijacked TV signals in the Chicago area in 1987, broadcasting footage of a person wearing a Max Headroom mask and a man’s bare buttocks being spanked with a flyswatter.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Almost something you'd expect from one of those body snatchers movies. Well, Halloween IS around the corner. There are a lot of horror movies that have messages like this. The few I can think of off the top of my head are Prince of Darkness, Halloween III, The Stuff... Don't open you refrigerator, people, and if you have yet to eat the Stuff, throw it out IMMEDIATELY!

Also could imagine this will fuel some new Creepypastas revolving around the "true" meaning of this message.

I feel like I'm definitely going to be surrounded by piles of clothes and shoes.

On the right side bar is the "trending in science section"..

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I wonder if scientists ever want to give up after being asked about Nibiru, or fucking religious doomsdays over and over again.

I feel like I'm definitely going to be surrounded by piles of clothes and shoes.

My wife is going to make a killing on ebay after selling all these raptured bible thumpers things!
