In April 2004, I published a well documented article in Radio-REF, the french
amateur magazine, to explain that the amateur satellite AO-40 had just caught
some very long delay echoes coming from radio transmissions performed around
1910/1920.
I alleged that the radio signals were stored for more than 80 years in some
very highly ionized clouds swanning around in the magnetosphere.
I tweeked some true formulas describing the speed of waves in plasma just to show why the radio
transmissions were trapped such a long time long in the magnetosphere and I added some original
audio records (still downloadable on http://www.amsat-france.org, "Pages techniques",
"Enregistrements AO-40")like 1890 songs, 1914 political speeches,etc).
Printing nice formulas with plenty square roots, proposing audio files on the
Net and exhibiting a lot of technical and scientific arguments triggered a
tremendous avalanche of mail, e-mails and phone calls at home from people
believing that all this stuff was really true.
Never seen that before.
Enhanced reality is better that reality, as usual ...

P.S.: The original sounds from 1890 and 1910 voices I used were really
existing, but were copied them from inestimable antique phonograph wax cylinders
