Hi all, The article did talk about “playback of one of these calls…” Presumably someone did record the “unidentified calls” heard in Nov 2006, and play those back to elicit the response. I think this was what Peter was asking about – the details of those recording(s).
Cheers, John Tongue Ulverstone, Tas.
