There's a fairly common interference phenomena around SGN that seems to cause short 5-10 second bursts of buzzing static on VHF. He might have heard that, there was plenty of that going on that night but nothing out of the ordinary.
I am not questioning the intererence itself, I know it is highly possible in that area given the alleged distance between both aircraft. I am questioning THAT report itself. I can't understand why a pilot should refuse to give his own name. Don't you find it strange? I do.
