Someone else reported hearing "S" on the same frequency.  Interesting...

UFO has not been heard in about 5 years, not sure if the is the same UFO or not, but there was a past UFO beacon near this freaquency in the past.  It also showed up on other freqs.

It is about S3 here in the Mojave Desert.  Freq is 8001.048 kHz.

T!
