[Spooks] UVB-76 Buzzer experiencing outage due to maintenance or replacement

[Michael Colonna]

At around 18:10 Zulu I could hear someone counting from 1 to 10 over and
over in Russian.  I am listening through a remote receiver in Germany, and
the signal fades in and out somewhat.  There also appeared to be an alarm
going off for about 30 seconds that sounded like a goose.

Interesting times.
