Although the US-Soviet space battle of the 50s and 60s accelerated launch into space, due to fears of being the first everything was rushed. That’s why test missiles usually exploded.

The world witnessed this relentless race. in Italy Brothers Achille and Giovanni Judica-Cordiglia managed to examine this cutthroat competition much more closely. They kept sound recordings of the flights made during these years and witnessed the notable events that were not disclosed to anyone.

Important Note: Many objections have been raised to the claims made by the Italian brothers, which we will discuss in more detail shortly.

It was even claimed that they were scammers. Accusations for now conspiracy theory It is seen as an official statement because no official statement has been made by the Soviets.

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union shared a radio frequency with the world when it launched the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, starting the space race.

communication with the spacecraft, anyone with a walkie talkie to let you know.

About a month later, when Sputnik II was disbanded, the Soviets did not share a radio frequency this time.

The Italian brothers, who were in their twenties, knew well the principle of operation of radio signals. Thanks to their calculations, sent from orbit They discovered how to detect signals. In addition, conversations in those years could not be encrypted.

They couldn’t believe what they heard, it was a heartbeat. Later, these sounds were called Laika. to a dog appeared to belong.

Unfortunately this flight was one way, there was no return. Like this first creature in space It was laika.

Three months later, the US’s first satellite, Explorer I, was launched into space and the radio frequency was shared.

Achille and Giovanni also recorded this flight. They gradually became famous. Later, near Turin, II. They were transferred to a listening station in a German World War II bunker, where they began recording audio. They renewed their equipment and came to this new place called Torre Bert. They installed bigger antennas.

In May 1960 their listening started to get even more interesting.

They recorded a manned spacecraft drifting off course. In November 1960, from a Soviet spacecraft. a help message They sensed it was coming. In addition, it was a message sent in Morse code and it was understandable that it was sent by hand.

In the brothers’ calculations, it turned out that the spacecraft in which the cosmonaut was located was too far from the orbit. Later, these signals gradually diminished and disappeared. The spacecraft is likely out of orbit. in the depths of space walked to the right. After listening to this audio recording, some experts stated that the sounds in the recording were the breathing sounds of a dying person.

In February 1961 another cosmonaut They captured the moments of death. When the brothers heard these voices, no one knew Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space.

In April 1961, this time they recorded a successful mission: the historic flight of Yuri Gagarin.

Judging by the subsequent audio recordings, the Soviet Union’s failed spaceflights continued. A spacecraft in May 1961 off track, In October 1961, a cosmonaut lost control of the vehicle in deep space, and in November 1962 a space capsule entered the atmosphere unchecked.

In November 1963, this time they made a more striking sound recording.

The cosmonaut’s heartbreaking drama ensued as the two brothers translated these conversations into Italian. Frustrated by a spacecraft returning to Earth. a woman’s speech came.

The woman said it was very hot where she was. There was clearly a serious malfunction. The high temperature created when it enters the atmosphere affects the inside of the spacecraft and the woman burned to death is being considered. The identity, age and rank of this female cosmonaut are unknown.

The brothers last recorded that another cosmonaut had been burned to death on return in April 1964.

Believing that it would harm the government, the Soviets avoided the negative developments of their own people and was hidden from the world. With the effect of the Cold War, more attention was paid to this. No explanation was given about these events. It is said that when the Soviets learned the data, they sent a KGB agent to the brothers’ door, but they were guarded by the Italian secret service.

Regardless of these records, it should be noted that a failure during the space race, but not in space, turned out to be hidden by the Soviets for years.

Valentin Bondarenko, 24, a Soviet fighter pilot selected for cosmonaut training; On March 23, 1961, 15 days in Moscow low compressive strength test He died disastrously as a result of burns caused by the fire that broke out during the blaze.

Being able to open the door of the room because of the pressure difference half an hour it cost. Bondarenko burned until the room ran out of oxygen. The government hid Bondarenko’s death until 1980. Later, a crater on the dark side of the moon was named after him.

Also, journalist James Oberg wrote in his book “Red Star in Orbit” how the Soviet government destroyed some of the cosmonauts selected for cosmonaut training in 1961 based on the photos.

Meanwhile, British researcher Rex Hall has captured some cosmonauts in an earlier group photo of 16 cosmonauts. It showed it had been removed.

Later, absence of original members of the group Attempts were made to realistically represent historical photographs by adding creative but non-existent photographic details, but were unsuccessful.

Whether all these claims are true or not is unknown, but it is certain that these striking claims have been attracting the public’s attention for over 60 years.
