25 STRANGE Things That Have Happened In Space

space is a strange place it has so many mysteries we want to unlock so it makes sense strange things might happen there since the earliest days of space exploration astronauts and scientists have experienced and discovered some pretty bizarre phenomena from UFOs to bizarre lights there have been plenty of accounts of strange things occurring in the cold vacuum of space what are they where do they come from how do we explain it many of these questions scientists have been trying to get to the bottom of curious to hear about these odd incidents well I'm Mike with lists 25 and here are 25 strange things that have happened in space 25 a knock was heard in a Chinese spacecraft and no one could explain it Chinese tycoon uh Yang Liwei was the first man China sent to space on the shenshu five during his twenty one hour mission he said he heard a strange knocking noise like someone was hitting the body of the spaceship he tried to figure out what would cause it but found nothing no solid explanation has been given but some believe it could have been the spacecraft expanding and contracting in space 24 NASA astronaut story Musgrave saw space heels when NASA astronaut story Musgrave was in space he claims to have seen eel-like tubes with her own propulsion systems apparently he saw these creatures twice while most shrug it off as space junk Musgrave stood by his statement 23 Apollo astronauts claimed to see strange flashes of light many astronauts from the Apollo 11 mission and Beyond have claimed to see strange flashes of light they said they saw the flashes even when their eyes were closed and described them as white blue or yellow scientists believe the astronauts were being hit by cosmic rays Fantastic Four here we come 22 astronaut witnessed a strange orange light on the ISS it was ESA astronaut samantha christopher nandi's first time flying up to the International Space Station when she approached she saw the Space Station glow as strange blood orange becoming quite excited by the sight she called it alien 21 major Gordon Cooper claimed to have seen a green orb in space as part of the Mercury missions major Gordon Cooper orbited the earth in his mercury capsule during his mission he claimed to have seen the green orb approaching him before disappearing even a tracking station in Moochie Australia picked up the signal 20 NASA purposely ignited a fire on the International Space Station obviously the last thing you'd want to have is a fire in your spacecraft however NASA decided to light a fire in space on purpose it was an elaborate experiment to understand how flames work in space the results well for one the flames are blobby and spherical the flames also follow the ventilation system that of just rising up as they do here on planet earth scientists are planning to conduct further experiments to learn more about how fire spread how quickly and which materials pose large threats to astronauts 19 astronauts took bacteria for a ride in space living organisms change after being sent to space bacteria is no exception astronaut Cheryl Nicholson brought Salmonella up into space and kept it for 11 days upon its return to Earth researchers quickly infected mice with the Salmonella to see how they'd react normally mice infected would die in seven days but the ones infected with the space Salmonella died two days earlier from lower doses similar experiments have been done to other bacteria but results have been unpredictable and inconclusive there's really no telling how these microorganisms will change and what impact that change could have upon returning to Earth 18 Apollo 10 heard weird music as they orbited the moon as they orbited the far side of the moon Apollo 10 heard what they called outerspace type music at the time they were cut off from Houston and alone for a brief period the astronauts didn't mention it to Mission Control but years later a low-frequency whistling noise came up on their recordings 17 Neil Armstrong may have seen extraterrestrials on the moon this one you can take with a grain of salt but reportedly Neil Armstrong sent a secret message to NASA claiming to have seen extraterrestrials of the secret report Armstrong said they're on the other side of the Moon watching us it should be mentioned Armstrong never confirmed any of this 16 puzzling and mysterious flashes of light from space can't be explained by astronomers discovered in 2007 scientists have noted mysterious flashes of light called fast radio bursts which only last for a few milliseconds strangely they don't really know what they are or what's causing them theories abound including neutron stars collapsing black holes or even aliens 15 astronauts that spend a lot of time in space grow taller one of the strange effects of being in space for a long period of time is apparently growing taller due to the zero gravity the spinal cord isn't compressed as much making astronauts grow at least 3% taller 14 a cataclysmic event took place ten point seven billion light years from Earth while we sit comfortably in our galaxy we may forget that the universe as a whole can be a scary place for instance scientists recently discovered a sudden burst of x-ray light ten point seven billion light-years away from Earth they believed it was likely some kind of destructive cataclysmic event the energy it produced was a thousand times more powerful than all the stars in our galaxy they aren't really sure what it was or what caused it at all 13 Russian cosmonauts saw something the size of a finger outside a space station while working on the Salyut 6 russian cosmonaut major-general vladimir kovalyonok saw an orbiting object outside that was the size of a finger while he was watching it and trying to figure out what it was it suddenly exploded and split into the then two golden objects disappeared once they entered the Earth's shadow 12 the Milky Way has had quite the cannibalistic past using the Hubble Space Telescope NASA discovered the strange act of galactic cannibalism by our own galaxy the Milky Way they studied 13 stars on the Milky Way's outer halo to get a better understanding of how the Milky Way formed over the years they believed the Milky Way grew larger by basically eating smaller galaxies 11 a strange UFO hit shuttle Atlantis on the sts-115 mission during the sts-115 mission a small UFO orbited and hit the shuttle Atlantis the astronauts on the mission ran tests to make sure they weren't in danger NASA shrugged it off as benign and possibly flying debris or ice of course some claim it was a cover-up and something else happened they don't want us to know about 10 Leroy Chiao saw strange beams of light coming as if from nowhere while up in space NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao said he saw five lights from the opposite direction of the Sun and was in awe at the site saying he couldn't really explain what they were where they came from he said they flew by quickly in an orderly formation with the exception of a second one investigators have tried to solve the mystery theorizing they were potentially light shining from Earth nine distant quasar is holding a giant reservoir of water about 12 billion light years away a quasar is holding a huge reservoir of water hundred and forty trillion times the mass of water in the Earth's oceans while finding water in space isn't itself unique this one is particularly remarkable and strange for how much water it's produced eight scott kelly tweeted a photo of space with a strange UFO in the corner nasa astronaut scott kelly occasionally would tweet photos of space and in one particular case he tweeted a photo of india however off in the right hand corner there's a strange-looking pair of prominent white lights internet sleuths immediately trying to claim it as a UFO no one really knows for sure what it is it could be an alien or maybe just a smudge seven after long missions in space astronauts eyes become deformed astronauts who have stayed up in space for longer than a month may want to get their eyes checked a new study showed that these astronauts have deformities in their eyes optic nerves and pituitary glands the problems arise from intracranial hypertension a condition where pressure pushes on the brain and skull six a Millennium Falcon shaped object caught on an ISS live video feed while watching the live ISS feed Jaden Beeson saw something rather strange to him it was a pair of lights that looked like it was in the shape of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars he took a screenshot and sent it to NASA wanting an explanation they've not responded five our solar system had a ninth planet that at one time got away astronomers have come upon new evidence that a ninth planet the size of Neptune was once in the planet-forming region of our solar system but what's eventually kicked out into the elliptical orbit it takes 15,000 years for this planet to fully orbit the Sun it's the planet that got away for a bizarre UFO was filmed by russian cosmonaut musa Mannoroth in march 1991 russian cosmonaut lucemon roth filmed a bizarre UFO sighting from the MIR space station a capsule was docking nearby and in the footage a weird white object is visible in the distance he doesn't believe it to be space junk as others have claimed three NASA cut their live feed right when a UFO came into view On January 15th 2015 while NASA was showing a live feed of the International Space Station a strange UFO came into view off in the distance just above Earth right when it came into view NASA mysteriously cut their live feed what was the object and why would NASA try to hide it two astronauts also lose bone mass while spending too much time in space of the things that might get affected by prolonged living in space bones might not first come to mind but in fact astronauts lose bone mass if they stay too long in space bones are active living tissue and rebuild themselves from physical activity like walking or running when that's removed from zero gravity the bones begin to weaken one living bacteria was discovered outside the International Space Station it's generally men believed living organisms can't survive the cold vacuum of space but recently astronauts discovered living bacteria outside the International Space Station taken from swamps the material was absent during the launch of the module it's led some to claim it's the first proof of alien life but the astronauts think there's a likely explanation rising air currents can carry the bacteria up in Earth's upper atmosphere where it can cling to the spacecraft enjoying our lists be sure to click that subscribe button in the top right corner and the notification Bell so you
