En 1945, cerca del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, algunos niños soviéticos regalaron una gran copia de madera del Gran Sello de Estados Unidos al embajador estadounidense Averell Harriman. Querían mostrar amistad a sus amigos de tiempos de guerra, Estados Unidos.
El embajador Harriman puso esta cosa de madera en su habitación durante siete años sin saber que guardaba un secreto. Dentro del inocente regalo había un moderno dispositivo de escucha. Los soviéticos lo utilizaban para escuchar sus charlas cuando querían.
Nadie se enteró del dispositivo de escucha oculto hasta 1952. Esto significó que los soviéticos escucharon conversaciones secretas durante casi diez años. Este dispositivo astuto recibió el nombre de “La Cosa” (The Thing).
Al principio, Estados Unidos no les dijo a los soviéticos que lo habían encontrado.
Pero las tensiones aumentaron en 1960 cuando los soviéticos derribaron un avión espía estadounidense. Culparon a Estados Unidos de espiar y ser agresivo. Fue entonces cuando Estados Unidos reveló “The Thing” para mostrar que ambos países se estuvieron espiando mutuamente durante años.
No estamos exactamente seguros de dónde está ‘The Thing’ (La Cosa) ahora. Después de encontrarlo, el FBI lo llevó a comprobarlo. Pero en el Museo Criptológico Nacional de Fort Meade, Maryland, se exhibe una copia realmente buena.
I have never heard such a thing as The Thing, in my life, until now of course. Thank you for giving me this knowledge, and you made it simple and easy too understand too.
Google is one of the most excellent companies to work for and they in some cases contract laborers from distant absent. sp In the event that you need to work straightforwardly with this company and win cash, go to the Google Careers zone and press on the “Work” connect.

“The Thing” was invented by Leon Theremin (inventor of one of the other weirdest pieces of tech ever, the Theremin musical instrument) while in a sharashka (gulag).
My favorite espionage story is when the Russians bought Xerox machines for all their embassies with a contract that stated only Xerox employees could service them. The CIA would plant cameras in the machines to read anything that was faxed/scanned and would simply send in agents dressed as Xerox employees to service the machines and swap the camera films.
What many people don’t know, the technology for “the Thing” was based on Leon Theremin’s works on demodulation of Doppler Reflections, this technology is still strongly present today in laser microphones or laser speed pistols used by police. Basically explained, when you aim a source of focused radiation(radio waves or laser) on a resonating membrane(radio: an antenna with a microphone, laser: a window or a mirror in the room) the reflected signal will return lower or higher depending on the movement of the membrane. Just like a ambulance not just passing by, but driving forward and backwards by the bystander. This reflections together with the source wavelength can be pretty easily demodulated back to audio.

you sure it wasn’t an E.T.?
Espionage was so cool back then! Now you just hack someone’s email or a server, while drinking coffee at your house. No thrilling!

“The thing” is a shape shifting alien

Russian tech in a nutshell: ‘The scientists were baffled by its simplicity.’
