I'm posting this here after graciously lifting it from a friend's post at another forum (with permission, of course!). I would post this in the audio clips forum, but as this event happened back in July, there isn't anything available in the archives for it. Plus, it would be only if the feeder was monitoring 121.5 at the time and hopefully heard the call (from what I see, a
lot of people heard it!)
Enjoy.
John Morgan and his wife Jan were flying their 2005 Husky A1-B low over the Black Rock Desert in Nevada on July 23 when they stumbled across what could have been a scene straight from the TV show CSI—a person lying face down in the sand with tire tracks all around.
“I told my wife, ‘That’s a body.’” Morgan ought to know. He’s a former police officer. “People die out there every year,” he said.

Here's a link to the thread at their site:

NV41.
To the person running the KRNO feed: do you remember hearing anything out of the ordinary around that time?
BL.
