This voice sounds like something that Mark Farina should be dubbing into his next album. But it's the first time I've heard this bit. Where did it come from? Is this a classic in engineering circles of some shit Rockwell actually sold to the military?

It's from an old air force training video. Best guess I'be heard it that it's an unsuccessful attempt to explain Kalman filters (or something similar) in layman's terms.

It's definitely floated around for a while, but it grew in popularity in the past few years.

It was already dubbed into a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LjN3UclYzU
