    same here, it's been at me all day ... feels like those guys in that series Lost when they had to feed numbers into that machine doomsday machine! Actually thinking on it now i never did find out what all that was about ... but could that series have been somehow hinting at this stuff?


    It is very possible the writer took it from this device the idea and the fear around it.
    I know every time i listen and read in here i get the most awful feeling in pit of stomach.

    It really isnt something to be listening to LOL! but yeah, I get awful feeling too ..... that's why i was thinking best-case scenario it's maybe just some soviet Cold War psyops to fukcup the West and they've just let it run. and probably having a good laugh at this stage ... i hope, in any case it's done a good job scrambling my head. Mind you, that's probably not saying much

    Yep, that's it. It was being tested out in the streets a couple of years ago, just randomly picking passers by and they'd hear stuff like, 'thirsty? buy a coke!" going past shops. But it would ONLY be them that heard it. As you can imagine it didn't go down very well! Though yer man there was saying the military are using it, even down to singling out individuals and making them believe they're hearing voices. Ha, military again, trust them to lower the tone :rolleyes:

    No its not, lol
    Ah if anything like mine no worries,as then it says even more because just how much further can our brains be scrambled :eek: :D
    I have heard something creepy before about these signals and stations but for the life of me i cant remember.

    according to the ats thread it never stopped there was just ionic interference or somesuch stopping us from hearing it

    I dunno if the transmiter has it own dedicated mast. There's obviously 100 & 1 uses for that, spying etc. The signal itself could just provide an excuse for having it like.

    So far I am taken by the lines radiating away from the centre of interest through the local vegetation. Whilst there are other examples of this in nearby towns there are none that radiate in all directions from one centre point apart from this location. Some of the lines extend to a kilometre or slightly more and suggest that the vegetation along these lines was excavated possibly for the laying of ELF antennae or other cabling. The pathways do not extend to a logical conclusion such as another building or road in all cases so it is unlikely the vegetation was cleared to make a footpath or roadway.

    As all the lines are of varying lengths it would suggest to me that they could indeed by buried antenna tuned to specific wavelengths. This would also mean that transmissions on other frequencies could be originating or being received at this location.

    Quite like this idea. There's a second generator in the same compound.. An underground ariel and transmitter that shares the same buildings as the FM transmitter.
    Uvb76 is (perhaps) a rouse for an ELF system.

    heere we go found it. This could be linked to it


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 Turquoise1


    There's probably a simple explanation as to why the transmission ceased.

    Perhaps the Russians found no point in using this anymore because the Cold War etc. is over?

    But then again, it all IS rather creepy isn't it!
    Have the Russians themselves ever given any explanation as to what its for?

    A similar thing to the UVB-76 would be the "Russian Woodpecker", except that it broadcasts a sharp pecking noise.
    Some theorists say its to do with mind control...

    they chose a weekend in 2010 to stop, and then fired it up again?

    not sure that makes a lot of sense :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 664 ✭✭✭craggles


    Yeah it's back up again, went down due to maintenance or interference from unusually large solar flares.


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 Turquoise1


    Oh so its definitely back up and running is it?

    Oh well then I am stumped! :P

    The Wilco one is notable though - the sample comes from The Conet Project, a reasonably well known compilation of recordings of shortwave Number Signals.....


    You should check out Boards of Canada - Geogaddi. My most fav Artists in the world! They use the conet project throughout that ablum, and in other work, but they use it so well its unsettling at some points for some people.
    Check out 'Gyroscope' manly, 'Julie & Candy' & 'Alpha & Omaga' from said album too. Also 'Diving Station' sounds like trying to tune in a number station really slowly.
    That album opened me up too all that number station stuff.
    Heres a detailed link to the album http://bocpages.org/wiki/Geogaddi

    I thought the station was an alarm going off @ some bldg alerting someone to possible trouble......


    Hmmmm

    Sorry for dragging up an old thread like this, just wanted to add some new info. :pac:

    I dunno if anyone else heard but last week there was a HUGE amount of activity on UVB-76. :eek: It's quite rare so it could be significant?

    The buzzing was interrupted and scrambled messages were relayed for an hour (I think) obviously in Russian. From what I gathered from a few Russian speakers on other forums it was a message comprised of numbers and various names, e.g "8652 Tatiana 564 Elena", stuff like that.

    I was speaking to a guy who's English was quite broken, but according to him (ex-Russian soldier, took it with a pinch of salt because there's no way of verifying) he said it was a "union alert system in case of attack, shocked to see it was still operating"

    Another poster said that it was used in the cold war and still somewhat in the present day to transmit messages to Moscow military bases instead of using a telephone line in case there was an attack and the lines were wiped out. It was basically a more fail proof way of being able to transmit messages for the army. It sounded pretty plausible to me, could be wrong though.

    Of course, the paranoid side of me was worried that it was something used to mess with your mind, possibly turning people into brainwashed Russian sleeper agents! :eek::eek: :pac: :rolleyes: :P

    Dunno what it actually is, it did unnerve me though when I listened to it. :o
