0200 UTC Odd chanting...sounds Gregorian, but they're chanting "OMMMMM" or maybe "OHM" 
(S8 peaks with light fades and light static crashing)
0204 UTC Same chanting with droning musical accompaniment (in a loop)
I don't think Shazam would get this one 
Interesting Mantra you got going here...
0219 UTC OFF

Thanks for the mind numbing!
