Brian Calloway, Central Command Telecommunications Department:Okay I'm sure some of you heard that signal today. To be honest, we're stumped. It's some kind of code, but no one knows what it is. Either it's too advanced or too obsolete for us to comprehend. Does anyone have any information regarding this signal? We've uploaded the file onto our server for anyone interested in checking it out.
Volume warning. (By the way please stop faxing complaints about the noise. It's not our fault. :\)

Cadence Knapenberger, Scientist:AnalysisInvalid
- [+]
- At first, I thought it might be morse. I got up the morse-code sheet and looked at it, but no dice. It was just a loop of repeating sounds that changed every so often.
I listened back to it again and wondered what it could possibly be.
I then went ahead and put it under some sound analysis software we have down in the science wing. Nothing.
After looking and listening back to it for a few minutes, I remembered that sometimes garbled text can have secret messages hidden away in them.
I went ahead and then got the software to look at it, but this time with the spectogram feature. Turns out, there's some kind of secret message hidden away in it, or something of the sort.
I took some photos of my findings and have uploaded it to the server below for any to see.
At first, it doesn't seem all that impressive. Just a simple spectogram. Noting out of the ordinary.
The beginning of the sound file. Not too odd. A pattern appears to be showing.
Again, this isn't odd at all. This is partially into the soundfile.
Now, here's where it gets interesting
About a third of the way into the sound file. It starts to get more rapid, and another pattern starts to appear. This happens from time 27.40 seconds to 46.85 seconds into the sound file.
It then starts to get more depth, and looks quite odd at this point. It resembles a torso slightly, or some kind of space ships, possibly.
This is where it gets REALLY odd. It looks like a lot of torsos holding hands together, or a bunch of frigate cruiser ships. This pattern appears from 54.5 seconds to 105.6 seconds
It then appears that the bottom half of it, a "face" starts to appear and slowly moves upwards, or the ship size begins to shrink.. This occurs from 105.7 seconds to 106.8 seconds.
This pattern then appears and gradually fades off for the rest of the time of the recording.
Video of the entire spectogram, compressed into seven seconds. https://i.gyazo.com/c8a2cdbab3222d39cfc682ba6d1e90e4.mp4
Could this possibly be a warning of some kind? It seems too well thought out to be a practical prank.
Additional notes: Another scientist in the lab took a look at it and said it possibly looked like an enemy spaceship fleet. Could this possibly be the case?
As I have been informed, it is
possibly something very very different, and this information I currently have is invald. It has been left for archiving purposes while I
attempt to decode it further.Analysis V2One of the boys in the labs said he recognized it. It's one of those ████ images. Yeah, the ones they used in the early 2000's to go and turn pictures to images. It ended up being so old that we didn't even have the technology on hand to recreate it. He had to salvage some program off of another older file server, and used that to decode it.Below, you will find the results of the scientist. Please view with caution.Could this possibly be a cry for help, or could it be some kind of joke?
This is all our analysis came up with.
