The equipment failing is so varied and the failure mode is so varied, that it might just be coincidence, but still it is odd.
My only other suggestion is your power. I've seen noisy, or poor
quality power kill power supplies and cause other odd failures on
desktop computers.
I've assumed all your computers have been plugged in through surge protectors and that your office has uninterrupttible power supplies which usually warn when their are problems with the power.
If you are using an old surge suppressor with no warning indicator for when the protection MOV has failed stop using it. MOV's in surge suppressors eventually burn out and stop protecting your equipment and must be replaced.
You might want to borrow some sort of power tester and check all the in common power sockets where these machines have been plugged in. It can be hard to find power problems especially if it's because some machine is powering up or shutting down at random time.
Number stations, yep I've heard them, both on my radios and through audio equipment usually like you at night.
Ask around at the office and your neighbors at home have they had a string of older electronics failing?
A few months ago I did come across an tech journal report about the empire state building randomly preventing late model vehicles from starting/running until they were towed several blocks away.
Nothing about laptops or desktop computers being damaged.
here's another article on it

Any new radio stations started broadcasting near your home, work or route in between?
