But there was this recording.

Someone had made a recording of this strange sound.

And so I think it was AP had it and you could play it and it was on Twitter.

And I remember us sitting around playing it and all the comments under the strange sound were, you know, people making jokes about it sounding like aliens or it's the Russians doing this or it's the Cubans.

So quickly that was the idea that this was a weapon being directed at these people and a weapon that no one had ever...

used before, heard of, tell of.

And so we were kind of... You were playing it over and over again.

Yeah.

I'm kind of half wondering.

That was some of the comments.

Should we be doing this ourselves?

Are we all going to get this problem in two weeks as well?

But then, so I'm kind of interested.

And we started talking to people and...

A colleague, Larry Ryan, and I were sort of looking at it.

Could we do a story about this?

And we did start working on it with the BBC.

But we sort of, and we talked to people around the edges and it was this story that was kind of getting bigger and bigger.

But, you know, people were getting cases cropping up all over the world with the same kind of thing.

Who hadn't necessarily been to Cuba.
