After a cryptic voicemail was left on various Twitter users’ smartphones, the online community began to form conspiracies. The message, spoken in a robotic female voice, brings about a determined message about the end of times, and a few codes that sent people in a frenzy.
“This is not a test, this is not a joke. Over the past several years we have been wanting to send an automated voice message to people who understand, and are not afraid. One message at a time will make many know the truth. The truth that other biological beings have been walking the supreme creation that sustains life. Earth. With technological advancements, you as the human race have kept yourselves strong and living.”
The apocalyptic message continues to list some of the world’s “greatest” accomplishments, and a warning for the clearing of air space for an alien invasion, or as some fear, the biblical rapture. The voicemail ends with this series of words.
“November. Oscar. Oscar. November. Echo. India. Sierra. Sierra. Alpha. Foxtrot. Echo. Alpha. November. Yankee. Mike. Oscar. Romeo. Echo.” Together they are an acrostic for the unsettling phrase, “No one is safe anymore.” The set of words contain another meaning, and when deciphered using a military code it reads, “S Danger SOS it is dire for you to evacuate be caution they are not human SOS Danger SOS.”
They were coupled with the following series of numbers: 042933964230.
The numbers, many conspirators have claimed, are a set of coordinates that lead to locations in Africa, and Malaysia.
The latter, users discovered, was suspiciously near to where the infamous Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 vanished, leading many to believe that the strange voicemail was actually a recording from the missing plane’s black box, a built-in recorder on planes, as the plane encountered dangerous alien life.
On the receiving end of this encrypted message was Twitter user Tyler, whose account (@Strayedaway) has since been taken down, and moved to @HOMOC1DE. He had not previously shown interest in any conspiracy theories. Therefore, his suspension from Twitter strengthens the belief of a possible doomsday.
Soon after he posted the tweet, Tyler received a DM from a day-old account with a jumbled name. The user demanded that Tyler delete the tweet containing the voicemail, and later sent out a numerical sequence before deleting the account. The numbers mark April 18, 2018 as the end of the world.
Another Twitter account named Hijj (@Hijj370) also messaged him. The text itself was in morse code, and those who managed to crack it, found it to be about the late scientist, Stephen Hawking, who in his lifetime often spoke about the various ways humanity could meet its impending demise, including alien invasions.
“The message received is well related to Stephen Hawking’s death. You are not ready to face them,” claimed the secretive user, whose profile has become less of a mystery after the DM was made public, and is currently fueling the conspiracy with additional information.
Tyler was not the only one to be subjected to the chain of texts. Multiple Twitter users, like @katelynnjenks, @alleanabenjamin, and @graccce7, claimed to have received similar messages and voicemails, with peculiar accounts threatening them on any social media they advertise Tyler’s Twitter thread on.
