Funny coincidence at work today

I was out today with a junior staff member when his company phone rang...playing the UFO theme!. I was surprised, as that's my ringtone:). It transpires that my old handset that I thought was broken and handed in, was repaired and re-issued to him. He chose the UFO theme as it 'sounds funky'. Of course, being under 30, he hadn't a clue what UFO was:).

I have the same ring tone and it brings back good memories for lots of people who hear and quite often recognise it too!

My UFO website has an MP3 containing the UFO sound,
and you can download it via your web browser
(usually just by right-clicking on the link to the
file, then selecting a "save" option from the
popup menu)

I picked it up on the web.  Most likely after a Google search for a mp3 sound file.

It's not like I'm redistributing the thing, just talking about it!

I see that I made these about 12 years ago.  As I recall,
just as I had finished doing these, I then acquired
better source material (music + effects tracks for
the episodes).  And then of course the DVDs came out
after that.  So I should have redone these, and who
knows, maybe someday I will?

That UFO effect was taken from a reel-to-reel recording
that was found in Barry Gray's garage after his death,
so it may be better than anything heard in the series.

And *I think* the rest of the effects were recorded from
the Japanese language track of the Japanese UFO laserdiscs
(which had far better quality than the English language
track -- magnetic tape source instead of from the 35mm
film).

I tried:).Well, it's about this secret organisation battling aliens from underneath a film studio....etc. We were packing up to drive home, so I didn't get much chance. But I did mention he should google it:).
