Apollo 10 Astronauts Heard Eerie ‘Outer Space Music’

Apollo 10 space music, sounds heard by the astronauts on NASA the fourth manned mission, are being researched for facts.

Crew members Eugene Cernan and John Young discuss the odd whistling sound in the tape that was confidential in 1969 at the height of the space race with the Soviet Union.

A NASA technician on the TV show supports Mr. Cernan’s assessment that the “radios in the two spacecraft [the lunar module and the command module] were interfering with each other”.

Cernan: “You know that was amusing”.

So much for “outer-space music”.

“It was probably just radio interference”, he said. Some popular themes about moon in discussions regarding extraterrestrials including the argument that moon astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong saw UFOs when they landed.

This revelation came forward in the excerpts from the Apollo-10 and transcripts of the Apollo-10.

That part of the journey was supposed to be radio silent, but the dark side was far from quiet. “We never gave it another thought”, Eugene “Gene” Cernan was quoted by NASA as saying. One of them says, “You hear that?” The astronauts could hear a peculiar whistling sound through their headphones. This episode of the show will focus on a freakish event that was experienced by Apollo 10 crew, who flew to the moon, entered lunar orbit and even reached as close as 5,000 feet of the surface of the moon as a test for the famous flight of Apollo 11 just two months later.

The full transcript of the recordings is available here.

According to a new TV series “NASA’s Unexplained Files” on Discovery, the astronauts debated whether or not to mention it to their superiors at NASA, out of fear that it could cast doubt on their suitability for future spaceflight. “Alone on the back side, they were more than a little surprised to hear a noise that John Young in the command module and Stafford in the LM (lunar module) each denied making”, Collins added.

The sound could be a result of frequency-sweeping radio interference that could be heard from the VHF rangefinder.
