The Enigma Tapes Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-enigma-tapes Between 1970-1990, an organization of unknown origin simply known as “The Agency” recruited members of the public to share experiences of unexplained phenomena via newspaper ads. Evidently, “The Agency” had leading members known as “Archivists” placed around the world to document the phenomena for future investigation. To this day, the origin and affiliations of “The Agency” are as mysterious as the stories they captured. The history and complexity is mostly unknown to this day, but in 2002, an abandoned storage locker was found that contained hundreds of cassettes documenting the efforts of these Archivists. These are The Enigma Tapes.
