[QUOTE]Astronauts on the Apollo 10 mission in 1969 heard mysterious, "outer space-type" music when passing around the far side of the moon, declassified transcripts reveal.
The spooky music is the focus of an upcoming episode of the Science Channel series "NASA's Unexplained Files."[/QUOTE]
sounds like radio noise to me
[QUOTE]NASA's Unexplained Files[/QUOTE]
Explanation: [del]Radio noise coming off of Saturn.[/del] Local radio interference in the Apollo vehicle.
It was just inexplicable at the time so they agreed not to report it while it was happening lest mission control think they were going insane from space or something.

From a Reddit comment
"Actually, this mystery was solved long ago. From Chapter 13 of Carrying The Fire by Michael Collins: "There is a strange noise in my headset now, an eerie woo-woo sound. Had I not been warned about it, it would have scared the hell out of me. Stafford's Apollo 10 crew had first heard it, during their practice rendezvous around the Moon. 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 each denied making. They gingerly mentioned it in their debriefing sessions, but fortunately the radio technicians (rather than the UFO fans) had a ready explanation for it: it was interference between the LM's and Command Module's VHF radios. We heard it yesterday when we turned our VHF radios on after separating the two vehicles, and Neil said that it 'sounds like wind whipping around the trees.' It stopped as soon as the LM got on the ground, and started up again just a short time ago. A strange noise in a strange place."

What could cause that type of interference though? Doesnt interference sound like static unless its interference from another source? Was it radio frequencies from the sun? If the moon has a magnetic field, perhaps it filtered out the interference from the sun and that would explain it
something something Three Dog and Galaxy News Radio
with all the tightly integrated systems on the LM/CSM its not entirely suprising there were some unexplained bugs over the years. NASA was constantly tinkering with those things, like they redesigned the CSM's grapple between like every mission because of unexplained failures

i'm going to also suggest that it may have been Major Tom as he did state that he is floating far above the moon before his circuit died
Oh god. Has the Science Channel fallen to mystery bullshit too?

Animal Planet and the Science Channel rarely show anything that [i]isn't[/i] mystery bullshit. (Well, except for when Animal Planet decides to air cop calls for days on end just because some of them happen to own dogs, which is far from what got them viewed in the first place)

no, they actually counter all these "mysteries" with the other side of the story, its the hook of the show, they do mystery mystery conspiracy... commercial break.... actual science, explanation, and logic
like in the first season they talked about how the space shuttle had these pictures of something following it, then countered by astronaut testimony that it probably was the lense of the camera, and had several shuttle experts follow that by explaining why there would be a glare in every photo
really the show is an interesting watch because they use a lot of actual footage from space and bring on a lot of astronauts, mission control and vehicle specialists to talk about the thingy. They do have this one guy thats fucking nuts but thats about it.

That was the first episode of X-Files I saw as a child... I begged to be allowed up to watch it. Bad idea. I think I had nightmares of that ghost flying around the space shuttle for a solid week after. Ugh.
Space is just endlessly fascinating to me, but scary as hell. Imagine being one of the earliest people out there in space and you hear something as freaky as this interference noise. Just that momentary instant of sheer panic when you first hear it, my god.
Spaaaaaaaace
Sounds like the frameshiftdrive hyperspace jump from Elite Dangerous.
And here I was expecting something like Daft Punk.
So... No Event Horizon?
isn't it basically just this kinda of stuff??

bouncing radio signals and interference with other stuff like magnetic fields?
Hold on a minute, the audio they used in the video sounds almost exactly like the sounds of Saturn.
