Carrier popped up just after 1200 UTC time,

1208 UTC - very faint modulation heard, sounds like ambient or psychedelic of some kind maybe?
1210 UTC - carrier may be closer to 6930.25 kHz now, hard to say if there's some sort of minor drift
1214 UTC - can hear an OM talking (very faint but certainly there)

1233 UTC - CW heard
1234 UTC - "all off-duty police officers report" hearing two-way radio chatter now
1241 UTC - "smooth metallic object" "state trooper I was just talking to"
1242 UTC - fading QSB getting a bit more pronounced
1243 UTC - "just what is going on down there?" "we have to get out of the immediate area!"

S5 here this morning with static from last nights storms. Sounds like some sort of news broadcast. "Moved entire operation to Grand Island" Interview a Mr. O'Malley.
