The Midnight Frequencies: Tracing the Origins of Unexplained Signal Bursts

Last night, as the clock struck 00:00, my shortwave radio crackled to life with an unexpected clarity. What I expected to be another routine night of monitoring turned into something far more peculiar. The airwaves, typically a cacophony of distant voices and static, were pierced by a series of sharp, methodical signal bursts. Notably, these weren't just random static—they were deliberate, encoded messages that demanded a deeper investigation.

Initial Observation: Precisely at midnight, for the past three nights, these signal bursts have emerged from the static, each lasting exactly 47 seconds. Coincidence has a pattern if you look long enough, and 47 seconds—a counter-number in my logs—refused to be ignored.

Evidence Gathering: Armed with my notebooks and logs, I set up additional receivers, determined to triangulate the origin. Utilizing a mix of old-fashioned directional finding and modern signal analysis software, I pinpointed the general direction: northeast, towards the ridge that overlooks Mile Marker 17 on Highway 64. The Ridge, as it's known locally, is a hotspot for strange phenomena, from The Flashes to unexplained signal interference.

Pattern Analysis: Each burst was different in content but identical in form—47 seconds of densely packed data, followed by an eerie silence. Comparing these to my historical logs, I found a curious alignment with dates when The Flashes were particularly active. Could there be a correlation between the visual and auditory anomalies observed in this area?

Preliminary Conclusions: While the exact nature of the signal bursts remains elusive, their deliberate structure suggests a form of communication or remote activation. The timing and duration, especially the recurrence of the number 47, hint at a deeper significance—possibly a scheduled test or an attempt to communicate with something or someone.

As I delve deeper into this mystery, two questions gnaw at the corners of my mind: What is the purpose of these midnight signal bursts, and more importantly, who—or what—is on the receiving end? These are the questions that keep me up at night, turning dials and scanning frequencies, searching for answers in the static.

Document everything, stay vigilant, and remember—the numbers don't lie, but they don't always tell the whole truth either.
