Lab that isn't a lab

Definitely an odd video but a Google search leads to http://www.ski.org/lab/coughlan-lab

I think that's just an unrelated coincidence. This Coughlan labs site says a Greg Coughlan is founder, that hearing lab site talks about a Jeff Coughlan.

Also, terraforming isn't remotely real except in Science Fiction. This can only be an ARG or a crazy person. Leaning towards ARG since there's something weird about the audio at the end of the video - there's suspicious screeches that sound familiar. Almost like a modem? Someone who knows more about audio stuff in args would probably know what to do with it.

Also, I doubt a space tech lab would use a free site (which also means if this is an ARG, it's probably on the smaller grassroots side of things). Although it feels a little like an old thing people were maybe supposed to find a long time ago?

I called. Got their voicemail and left a message requesting more information. Left my name, phone number, and email address. Here's hoping they return my call or send me an email.

Sounds so familiar... Not quite a dial up modem, but close like.... A fax machine maybe?
