A TERRIFYING voicemail in military code sent to random Twitter users’ phones has sent the internet into meltdown as users speculate over its links to MH370, alien life and an impending Doomsday date.
It appears to have started with Ty, an ordinary Twitter user with no apparent prior interest in any of those topics or the conspiracy theories that inevitably accompany any discussion of them.
On March 13, Ty posted a recording of a creepy voicemail message he received on his mobile phone and asked for help translating it.
Since then it has received more than seven million views and hatched a dozen conspiracy theories, earning Ty more than 40,000 extra followers and forcing him to temporarily deactivate
his account (he was getting death threats and homophobic taunts) and change his handle.
The bizarre voicemail features a robotic voice droning out an automated message entirely in NATO phonetic alphabet. Deciphered, it reads:
“S Danger SOS it is dire for you to evacuate be caution they are not human 042933964230 SOS Danger SOS.”
Ty has since deleted the voicemail recording but a handful of others have also received it and posted it online. Picture: TwitterSource:Supplied

Other users set to work on the number sequence. They appeared to be a set of coordinates which, when plugged into Google Maps, led to one location in Africa and another near Malaysia.
The latter, many users noted, was “very close” to where Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 vanished from radar, leading to speculation the voicemail was a recording of the doomed plane’s encounter with an alien craft.
“Are you saying that Malaysia Flight 370 encountered something non-human???” asked user Gio de Loera in a post retweeted more than 6000 times.
User Tyelashe responded: “It’s a police code. It says ‘Danger SOS it is dire for you to evacuate. Be cautious they are not human SOS danger SOS”.
Ty also posted unsettling direct messages he had been receiving on his Twitter account, one in Indonesian, another in Malay, a couple in morse code and one which appeared to be five groupings of numbers: “20.8.5.25 1.18.5 20.1.11.9.14.7 15.22.5.18 41818”.
The Indonesian message, when run through Google translate, turned out to be a warning:
“End the post you just shared about the recording in your phone.”
