The issue then shifts to a dramatic story in which a broadcast signal malfunctions at a radio station, prompting an investigation into water depth using sonar technology. When the signal bounces back from the ocean bottom, a mysterious mark appears on the scale, leading state police to rush to a nearby way station.
