How I imagine the mysterious transmission from the derelict in “Alien” might have sounded.
(Yes, I know there was a cut scene that featured it, but I like this set of sounds even better.)

Martian 1: Did you hear that?
Martian 2: Sounds like a dink followed by…
[Martian 1 interjects]: DONKS?
Martian 2: This is freaking me out.
Martian 1: There it went again!
Martian 2: I think the spice is kicking in.
Martian 2: Hold me.

During the short set of bonks (mid-recording), that scene in On The Beach when they find that what seemed like a signal was a just an open microphone being tapped by the wind and a curtain/blinds cord popped into my mind and won’t leave. That book has held up nicely over the years.
