Recently unearthed recordings from NASA’s Apollo 10’s journey revealed mysterious and unexplainable “music” from the dark side of the moon.

 

The crew of the Apollo mission were baffled that they were not sure whether or not to report it back down to NASA’s mission control.

 

The eerie space encounter took place when Apollo 10 entered lunar orbit in 1969. The crew traversed the far side of the moon and lost contact with Earth for about an hour.

 

In the recently unearthed recordings, astronauts were seen reacting with surprise when they heard uneasy howling noise in their headsets.

 

“You hear that? That whistling sound? Whooooo” one of them is heard saying.

 

Another astronaut says: “It sounds like, you know, outer space-type music.’"

 

“Well, that sure is weird music,” his companion agrees.

 

The recordings were unearthed by America’s Science Channel series NASA’s Unexplained Files.

 

Aside from the “space music” the recordings also revealed the discussion between the crew whether or not they will keep it a secret from NASA.

 

One astronaut is heard saying: ”It's unbelievable. You know? Shall we tell them about it?”

 

His colleagues replies: "I don't know. We ought to think about it."
