SAGE Anomaly Redux
The first known anomaly from the SAGE computer briefly appeared at MIT on July 8, 1957. The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment was built to monitor for and launch weapons at Russian bombers attempting to drop nuclear bombs. The Air Force Technicians saw a strange image briefly form on their oscilloscopes. This time it was written off as a non-reproducible hardware anomaly. But there was some sort of mind-numbing distortion in this artificial intelligence generated reproduction of the event.
