Geocache Description:

This should be a somewhat easy puzzle and find. Its for those of you that don't really like too demanding of a puzzle but still like some intrigue! You are looking for a well camo'd tupperware container with a unique hide. It can fit GC's & small TB's. BYOP. It is in the Burlington area and within 2 miles of given coordinates.

The story below is totally fictional…i think!

Sometimes late at night, after a long day of recording & editing audio files, my computer will "speak" to me.

Now when I say speak obviously I don't mean "talk" out loud in english sentences, at least not yet, but random seeming gibberish would appear to flash on and off the screen.

This occurs quite frequently, enough for me to jot down some of the gibberish the last time this happened.

Recently however this has gone beyond just random computer text gibberish and infiltrated some audio I was working on. I've isolated it down to this one particular audio passage where it can be heard pretty easily. Almost sounds like some kind of digital dust.

Im looking for your diagnosis. Is it Evidence of AI, A small new undiscovered species, or just some elaborate way of hiding coords for a cache….......or all the above?
