The “Thing” The Great Seal Bug. 

The discovery channel made a documentary about KGB and CIA gadgets of the era. I was a school kid back then. 1997 or 98. It fascinated me.

So glad I've found this channel. I've never heard of the Windscale Disaster, or this, they're both incredible subjects. Thank you for bringing us something fresh, love the content!

The animation looks really good.

This chanel is the most under subscribe in youtube. There are chanels with 1 mil+ subs that pale in production quality compared to this

Nice video, you should have more subscribers All of your videos are very well made :D

this channel deserves so much more recognition

Incredible video, thank you!

Thanks for simple but efficient and fast explanations!

Fascinating, thank you.

i can not beleve you have just 4k subs you deserve at least a milion

You seriously deserve more subscribers, old sport. Initially I thought I was watching a RU-vidr that I assumed would have 500k+ subs. I really hope your channel kicks off because this is really some quality stuff.

I just discovered your channel when searching for documentaries on The Thing. Very well presented content and you've got a new subscriber as a result.

just found your channel, and surprised at your subscriber count considering the quality of your videos! i'd expect a channel like this to have subs in the hundreds of thousands, i hope to see you flourish in the future!

You need to make more videos! this channel has so much potential!

Well Mark me impressed, came here from The windscale video and I am definitely a fan, hope to see you get to 100k before this year ends!

Mate you deserve so many more subs and views than this, your content is amazing

Your content is fantastic. I'd love to see more British history!

This channel is like The Balkan Powder Keg. At any moment, this channel will blow up!

Came to the latest video after watching the british chernobyl one just to say. This channel won't stay on 1.96k subs for long..

Great informative and relaxing vids

Thank you

Super CGI modelling, absolutely love it! Wasn't the carving presented at the Yalta conference on the morning of 9th Feb 1945 when Beria invited Harriman and the British Ambassador, along with Stalin's interpreter to the 20th anniversary of Artek camp, 18 km up the road from Yalta? I wonder where the idea that the transmitter or receiver could be in a van came from? I know from practical experience just how finicky the kit is to set up. A centimetre of movement wrecks the signal completely. They were housed in some apartments over the street in Spasopeskovskaya square, with the transmitter and receiver in different locations. Women were paid to drape washing on the balconies to divert attention from the activities. Transmit power used was a few watts at most, at around 950 MHz, using a homodyne receiver with a sniff of the transmitter as it's own coherent local oscillator. Hard to see how that could interfere with any VHF TVs, at least until the advent of UHF broadcasting in the 1970s. Termen wasn't imprisoned on his return at the end of September 1938, but in March 39, after confessing to some wild allegations about remote radio triggering of an explosive device to assassinate Kirov. The British army radio op (possibly within the British Embassy over the Moskva river from the Kremlin) who heard American voices was almost certainly listening to a different bug that then disappeared, prompting the US to start looking for other possible sources within the Chancery and Spaso House. I wish I'd seen your vid before I was on BBC2 TV with Prof Hannah Fry. Funny as well that the BBC insisted on the connection with RFID, where the technology actually uses near field load-pull signalling rather than the far-field re-reradiation like the Great Seal Bug and EASYCHAIR Mk1. There's a lot of disinformation about the Bug, finding hard evidence is difficult. Excellent vid, I'm going to check out more of your stuff and subscribe

This video is too good to have so few views

Just realized the thumbnail has a typo! "Undetctable". Also, loved the video! Can't wait for more!

Was recommended the nuclear video, great videos on this channel! 👍🏼

Imagine In Future (YOU ARE THE WALLET)

This guy kinda sounds like he's recording at 3am and he dosen't want his parents to hear it.

I have a great seal coin

i genuinely thought it said 3.8 million subscribers, good videos bro

Keep with the quality over quantity, your vids tell me more than I would have learned in my daily life, could your next vid possibly be about maybe Be about the space race or the the submarine red October, there is a lot of stuff that we never learn about in school that happened in the cold war in America

3:25 Dr Who theme, which as every fan knows did NOT use a Thermin.

I will subscribe

This is the 1st bluetooth

Excellent video and the last part seems even more pertinent these days. We should all beware the Trojan horse and whatever benefit is given for chips in people, don't fall for it. Just one thing that surprised me though at 3.57, was that not Concorde rather than a Russian plane?

Yes

Not over

Amazon doesn't use RFID in their stores to track everything. There are loads of normal items like bottles of mineral water that aren't tagged at all.

There's a video on RU-vid from a guy who machined a working model of this, and this video actually does a better job of describing the device, is there a CAD model somewhere and detailed theory of operation?

Could Averell Harriman have been complicit in "The Thing" caper?

3:23 I know that you had to include an audio clip of the Theremin in use, but I'm not sure if this Dr. Who recording actually used one.

Why they would accept and hang up ANY gift from the enemy is just beyond me.

They did not use a Theramin for the Doctor Who theme. Derbyshire used tape loops to create the otherworldly soundscape, not a theremin as is often assumed. Each note was individually created through manually manipulating analogue tape - cutting, splicing, speeding up and slowing down segments

Amazingly elegant bug. Too bad that so much ingenuity is spent on conflict.

Anyone else notice that Master Mason handshake at 0:37. It kind of looks like Truman, (a known Mason) figured he was being recorded and took his hand away. Not that just shaking hands with someone is wrong, but when it's the President, I would think discretion would be better.

you do the 3d modelling yourself? very interesting, blender user? :p

Country has a mathematical genius, that may build a highly advanced listening device for them. Soviet Union: in jail you go, produce something amazing Pretty much all other countries: hey, want to make some money? Can you build us this?

RFID chip inside my body, no thanks. Good & very interesting video though.

Class wee channel you got here mate, you'll make it big one day. Just keep going, you've earned a sub. Won't be long before you can quit your job and live off RU-vid 😂

n tesla made wireless powered systems even radios that need no power and receive power from the radio signal itself. they use to give plans for such radios in the 30s so seems like they would have thought that someone would make a bug out of this system already.

Wonderfully great channel.. Interesting, polishes and eclectic... Well done Ser... I.l be sure to share... U should get a Twitter account.. Ever in Frankfurt beers on me.....

I wonder if a similar device was used on US embassy staff in Cuba?

Does this have relevance in the mysterious ailments claimed by American nationals working for our government in foreign countries.

RU-vid keeps deleting my comment but what I want to say in regards to this is the same as Guy Ritchie scripted in Snatch regarding Boris the Blade. If you know, you know. ;-)

I don't care if the government is spying on me via my cell phone A I don't do anything spy worthy and B I'm not giving up my phone so they can spy all they want, I enjoy my trojan horse too much 😅

it really irritates me when people say SAM missiles. it is like HDD drive. redundant and daft.

It was the Soviet Union.....not Russia.

Did Theramin get the royalty from his invention?

Good video, but your praise for RFID technology is a little bit naive. This stuff is going to destroy privacy even more.

⚠️-🤬

😂🤣😅 7 years to late lool

this video was useless. what frequency did the device use? you told us no detail at all.

Sooo You Ned Tto Look In A Gifted Horses Mouth When The Giver Is From russia !
