> Scientists at Government Communications Headquarters in Cheltenham, western

> high-frequency noises coming from Scarborough signal station in Yorkshire,
> northeastern England.
>
> GCHQ's in-house paper, the Daily Observer, said the noises were unlike
> anything staff had encountered before and an investigating team initially
> thought they were coming from spies or aliens.

> Their investigation found the signal only happened in the day time, went
> across all the high-frequency bands and only Scarborough aerials could pick
> it up.
>
> Eventually, investigators discovered that a ram was rubbing its horns
> against the aerial masts "in between servicing some local ewes", the paper
> said.
>
> "It's possible the ram was attracted to the mast which may have given off
> some kind of tingling sensation, but it was probably just a post to rub
