This eerie ‘music’ Apollo 10 astronauts heard on the far side of the Moon
In May 1969, three NASA astronauts were circling the Moon. When the astronauts paused on its far side, they heard some mysterious sounds, an eerie whistling that they couldn’t understand and weren’t sure how to report.
The Apollo 10 astronauts, Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Eugene Cernan, told about what they heard.
Cernan: “You know that was funny. That’s just like something from outer space, really. Who’s going to believe it?”
Young: “Nobody. Shall we tell them about it?”
Cernan: “I don’t know. We ought to think about it some.”
The full transcript of the encounter has been publicly available since 1973, but the audio has gone largely unnoticed until nowadays. This weekend it was featured in the new Discovery series, NASA’s Unexplained Files (watch below).
One explanation given by the Discovery documentary is that charged particles could have been causing interference in the radio communications. But the Moon has no atmosphere or magnetic field, so charged particles couldn’t have been making transmissions that can be picked up on a radio.
Right now, the best explanation we have is that the ‘music’ was actually just interference between the two modules’ radios.
