The second is from the film The Longest Day, but... the first?

The second is from the film The Longest Day, but... the first? I believe they're both from the original Red Dawn.

First time I have heard of UVB-76. Any freepers know the story behind this and why it would be spitting out a new message? Someone has already posted the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVB-76
Buried at the bottom of that is a likely explanation that I haven't seen discussed elsewhere:
"Another explanation for the constant buzzer is the High-frequency Doppler method for ionosphere research [17] described in the Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, in which radio waves are reflected from ionosphere inhomogeneities. Changes of an ionosphere state can be caused by solar geophysical or seismic events. This method involves comparing a continuous radio transmission which is reflected by the ionosphere with a stable basic generator. The continuously transmitted carrier frequency currently used for this research matches that of the Russian Buzzer (4.625 MHz)."
The footnote [17] points to this document (in English):
http://elpub.wdcb.ru/journals/rjes/v10/2007ES000227/2.shtml
Check out item [33] in that document. I doubt it's a coincidence.

London headquarters of the French underground broadcast many such messages before the invasion of Normandy; one such, ‘John a un longue moustache’ or ‘John has a long mustache’ is utilized as an illustration in the film ‘The Longest Day’ - which considerably predates the film ‘Red Dawn.’
Evidently, its use in the latter film is an homage to the Zanuck production.
