Sep 2, 2024, 09:03 AM
Two astronauts aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, currently docked to the International Space Station, have reported hearing unexplained sonar-like sounds through the vessel's audio system. The noises, described as pulsing, eerie, and resembling heartbeat sounds, were confirmed by Mission Control at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Despite extensive analysis, neither the astronauts nor ground control have identified the source of these sounds. Boeing has declined to comment on the situation, and NASA has yet to provide further details.
