The Demontic Nationwide TV Hijacking of 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵, 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟴 as seen on NBC (Confirmed Footage)

This Hijacking has gotten popularity again in recent years with horror tiktok on the rise
For many years, People have debated the existence of this incident, Citing that not many official or credible sources have come forward. Despite this, We have come across a copy from a technician who worked at a local NBC affiliate who has sadly passed away as of recent.
The hijacking is often described as lasting around 25 seconds with some sort of demonic creature mumbling before everything went back to normal.
Often shared as follows
"1968, all the televisions in America were shut down. There was a murmuring on the TV that some belleve was the devll's voice. The televisions were off for about 25 Seconds."
"On August 29, 1968, all of the televisions on America shut down. There was a murmuring on the TV that some believed was the Devil's voice. The TVs were shut down for 25 seconds and nobody knows what the sound was or where it came from."
Common response to this is as follows
"On August 29th, 1968, all the televisions in America shut down. There was a murmuring on the TV that some believe was the devil's voice. The televisions were off for about 25 seconds. No one knows what the issue was an no one knows what the sound was from the TVs."
I cannot corroborate that any such event--an inarguably remarkable one--occurred, which is surprising. There were significant power outages in both 1965 and 1968 that blacked out large portions of the country. UFO conspiricists love to mull over those. And it does remind me of the Doctor Who episode "The Impossible Astronaut" about an alien species known as The Silence that is set in 1969.
However, if the meme is real, it is interesting to note that this would have transpired one day after a famous antiwar protest at a Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The same antiwar demonstration that gave rise to the popular protest slogan: "The Whole World Is Watching."
UPDATE: It may appear that this is yet another amalgam of half-truths. On April 10, 1961, television broadcasts were suspended briefly for a civil alert test. Prior to termination of all transmissions, the following was aired: "We interrupt our normal program to co-operate in security and civil defense, as requested by the United States government. This is a Conelrad alert. Normal broadcasting will now be discontinued for an indefinite period. Civil Defense information will be broadcast in most areas at 640 or 1240 on the AM dial..."
As you can hear from this recording from April 28, 1961, the audio is definitely drifting into what one could construe as murmuring:
Moreover, there were articles from 1968 in various newspapers that mention strange signals from space, as picked up from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico that piqued the interest of Dr. Frank Drake (famous for his eponymous equation for the probability of extraterrestrial life).
This story may also be confusing an incident that happened at 5:10 pm on November 26, 1977 when the Hannington transmitter of the Independent Broadcasting authority in the UK was hijacked by a speaker claiming to be a representative of an "intergalactic association". The speaker who has been reported as calling himself "Vrillon" or "Gillon" or "Asteron" (depending on whom you ask) spoke with a disguised voice to warn those watching that their "weapons of evil" must be removed and there is only a "short time to lear to live together in peace." Fortean Times magazine's Winter 1977 issue (#24) has the verbiage a bit different, but the sentiment remains the same: "This is the voice of Asteron. I am an authorised representative of the Intergalactic Mission, and I have a message for the planet Earth. We are beginning to enter the period of Aquarius and there are many corrections which have to be made by Earth people. All your weapons of evil must be destroyed. You have only a short time to learn to live together in peace. You must live in peace... or leave the galaxy." The hoaxer was never identified and the incident remains a mystery."
As for the longest time, This was seen as mostly a hoax.
There were a few news reports, But very little in the way of an investigation or interest as there has been for other hacks.
As of 2022, We still have very little information on what happened that day, Other videos of it, Or even names of the perps who committed this hack. So far, This is the only recording found on dailymotion in a compilation uploaded by a former technician. Nothing else related to this incident has been found.
if anyone has information about this incident, Is interested in searching for it, Or just interested to watch us search, I suggest you to join the lost media wiki discord and message the staff there.

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

@@wariolikeslean9647 satellite outage, any solar activity could’ve knocked the signal out, I remember that happening just a few years ago with my DirectTV signal going out with a message stating that service interruptions were due to satellite issues from solar activity also it was 1968, soviets had over the horizon radars that constantly probed through airwaves and caused issues although this case I doubt it was caused by that as it didn’t have any tale-tale signs also source broadcasting could’ve gone out meaning the rest of the network piggy backing the signal also went out causing the nationwide outage, which to me seems most likely

[@JMFSpike]

That is legit creepy, but saying that it's the "devil's voice" is very irrational and jumping to conclusions. Yes, it certainly does sound like something demonic, but that doesn't mean that it actually is. Use your head and it's not hard to come up with a couple alternative explanations which are far more likely. If you're a Christian, assuming that something is actually being said and it is actually Satan speaking, what is the point of him attacking in this way? Since you can't make out what's being said, the only reason I could see him doing this is to freak people out for some laughs. But you would think that he'd want to actually say something people could very clearly hear and understand for maximum effect.

[@plateshutoverlock]

It sounds like a tape playing at very low speed. If I saw this back in the day, the first thing in my mind would be "technical glitch". But that's not so exciting is it, so let's assume some ghost that goes boo did it. :-\

My theory is, is that it could be the same conversation on the TV, but it glitched and it talked like a weird voice.

[@rbostic7237]

So, was this for all households or just the ones with color tv as the video depicts? As of January 1st, 1969, only (roughly) 33% of all households in America had color TVs.
