My computer room is right next to a major road.
When certain trucks drive past, the picture shrinks, and waves for a split second.
I have no idea what sort of trucks they are, because I don't see them, but I can tell from the sounds they are trucks.
Not all trucks do this.
Do certain trucks drive around with giant magnets or what?

you dont think it could be the radio or communications equipment?
you can tell when my cell phone is about to start ringing with this monitor, the picture sort of shakes and blurs.
then the phone rings.
quite odd.

That's a common occurance. More common is speakers reacting to the interferrance and giving off a vibrating noise. It's because of that reaction that cell phones were banned on planes.

Certain trucks have parts that contain large electromagnets. (Not sure what exactly, but they do) Another possibility is that some part of the engine has become magnetized. But more than likely it's radio equipment or whatever cargo they're hauling.

I've picked up CB radio broadcasts on my speakers. My wireless stops working, and my speakers chatter for a few minutes. I'm next to a busy highway. It's probably just interference...

But I'd make a tin foil hat and wear it just in case.

Groom Lake. Better known as Area 51. Test site for most of the military's aircraft while in experimental stages. Not very secret though. Y'know they have a new aircraft they're testing that's supposedly secret? (The Aurora) Well it's not very secret when they made a Micro Machine out of it. :p

I love the LV to Reno drive, basically, it's fun to peer into the desert knowing 'what's out there' :D:D

Plus, the Naval air station with all those bombs at...I forget if it's Hawthorne or Fallon...is a sight to see.

It's Hawthorne. The largest ammo dump in the United States. Lemme tell you, if the world ever goes to s%$# a la Dawn of the Dead -- or something similar -- that's where I'm heading.

its probaly from a tricked out CB that the truckers have. Some truckers mod out their CB's to like 100 watts of power which is totally illegal.

This set? Doesn't say on the bottom, but I thought it was a micro machine set. I can't belive I found those still in a junk box.


link to confirm micro machines.

:D

Hasn't the whole Aurora project been known about for quite some time? I wonder if they are still working on it or if there are secret Aurora planes flying over Bagdad as we speak?
