New Apollo 10 Declassified Tapes Reveal Astronauts Heard Strange Music From The Far Side Of The Moon
The dark side of the moon has always held a mystical fascination for stargazers. Astronauts on Apollo 10 reveal in a series of newly released audio tapes from the mission that they heard mysterious and unexplainable ‘music’ coming from the far side of the moon. This incident dates back to the 60s, when Apollo astronauts orbited the moon two months before Neil Armstrong’s famous 1969 landing.
Recently unearthed recordings made by NASA of the journey, which took the Apollo 10 capsule around the far side of the moon, show the astronauts reacting with surprise and confusion to an unearthly howling noise in their headsets.
Mission transcripts reveal the three men talking about the noises and discussing what to do, but do not identify who was speaking.
One of the crew says: “You hear that? That whistling sound? Whoooooo!”
“It sounds like, you know, outer space-type music,” another replies.
Later, one says: “I tell you, that music is really weird.”
“No one will believe us,” replies a colleague.

<p style="text-align: justify;">This unique and unexplained “music” transmission lasted almost for an hour that the capsule was on the far side of the moon, and just before they regained radio contact with earth they talked about whether or not to tell Mission Control what they had experienced.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the three eventually got back, they opted not to tell NASA, which could be a smart move, seeing as the agency could have had them remanded into custody and kept from flying because of concerns for their mental state.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Until 2008, nobody spoke of these files leading to a never ending debate on the nature and origin of the strange sounds heard by the astronauts. Now it has resurfaced in the upcoming third season of Science Channel’s series, NASA’s Unexplained Files.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On the show, Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden says: “The Apollo 10 crew was very used to the kind of noise that they should be hearing. Logic tells me that if there was something recorded on there, then there was something there.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Possible explanations including a magnetic field or atmosphere interfering with the radio are discussed on the show, but according to experts, the moon has no magnetic field and not enough atmosphere to cause interference.</p>
