While NASA made history with its Apollo 11 mission in 1969, several other missions under the Apollo program took place before the actual mission. However, declassified material from the Apollo 10 mission uncovered something very unusual.
The Apollo 10 mission took place months before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would ultimately become the first men on the moon and served as a kind of “dress rehearsal” to see what could be expected while in space. Apollo 10 would also become the second spacecraft of the US to be able to make it into space. In a video by DarkDocs on Youtube, it was revealed how an incident that occurred during Apollo 10 led to the mission being classified for years until today.
The incident involved video footage taken during the mission. The video appeared to be shaky, with static cutaways, and a whistling sound could be heard that made the astronauts aboard the spacecraft uncomfortable. In the recording, one of the astronauts could be heard describing what they heard as “outer spacey.” They would end up mentioning the unusual noise several more times during the recording.
Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden then explained what may have been the cause for the classification of the unusual footage from Apollo 10. In the program “NASA’s Unexplained Files,” Worden said that NASA would only classify details if it was in the best interest of the country. However, the late astronaut also shared that he would also have felt unsettled if he also heard the unusual noises as shown in the footage.
While NASA’s victory in ending the Space Race was certain, the series “Secret Failed Soviet Moon Landing” on DarkDocs revealed the Soviet’s side of the time. The series revealed that the USSR’s unmanned Luna 15 probe had also crashed onto the Moon at the same time. This was the Soviet’s robotic attempt to collect lunar soil samples and bring them back to Earth. However, the mission was rife with miscalculations that led to the Luna 15 spacecraft hovering over the Moon even as Armstrong and Aldrin were collecting samples.
“The Soviet leadership demanded that the craft land and four minutes later it landed and crashed onto a lunar mountainside,” said the narrator. “The apparatus presumably lies there to this day.”
