00:00 About a third of all grown-ups have a snake phobia, but if you decide to become an astronaut

00:05 not to have to deal with them, it might not be a great idea.

00:09 According to Story Musgrave, there are snakes in space!

00:13 Musgrave is one of the most experienced astronauts in the world right now.

00:18 He is the second astronaut who managed to go on six space flights and fly on all the

00:23 space shuttles.

00:25 With that much experience and time in space, he has to have one or two space horror stories

00:30 in his career.

00:33 Once on a space mission, he looked out of the window and saw something resembling a

00:38 snake.

00:39 Musgrave said it was 6 to 8 feet long and looked like a snake, but many people don't

00:45 believe his story.

00:46 They claim it was some trash floating in space or something that had detached from the spacecraft.

00:52 The astronaut went on another mission and saw the creature again!

00:57 The first time he spotted it, it could be some detached piece from the spacecraft, but

01:02 what are the chances of that happening twice?

01:06 He gave many interviews in which he explained these crazy encounters.

01:10 Let's hope those "snakes" stay in space and don't come crashing down on Earth.

01:15 If they are real, of course, snake rain would not be fun!

01:23 As we all know, space is like a giant vacuum chamber with zero air and sound can't travel

01:29 there, making this story even more terrifying.

01:33 To communicate, astronauts have a special system in their suits to exchange information.

01:39 Young Li Wei shared his terrifying experience and it's hard to believe it actually happened.

01:45 You would be terrified if you were alone at home and someone started knocking on your

01:49 door at night.

01:51 Of course, if you weren't expecting anyone.

01:54 Imagine the same scenario, but you're in space.

01:57 You hear some knocking, you have nowhere to run, you're trapped in a metal can floating

02:02 into nothingness.

02:04 Young was sitting in his spacecraft, minding his own business, when he suddenly heard knocking

02:09 coming from outside.

02:12 How is it possible?

02:13 Sound can't travel in space!

02:15 The noise was unique.

02:17 The astronaut described it as if someone had been knocking on an iron bucket with a wooden

02:21 hammer.

02:22 Li Wei looked outside, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.

02:27 He investigated a bit more, but couldn't find the source of the sound.

02:32 When Young returned to Earth, he was eager to tell scientists about what had happened,

02:37 but he could not recreate the sound.

02:40 To add fuel to the fire, his colleagues, who were on the same mission from 2005 to 2008,

02:47 said they had also heard knocking similar to what Young had reported.

02:51 This is still a mystery.

02:54 Nobody knows what happened then.

02:56 Maybe it was just spacecraft noise, like those your house randomly makes.

03:02 We've already mentioned that sound can't travel in space, but that doesn't stop weird

03:08 noises.

03:10 The Apollo 10 mission was one of the most significant space missions ever, so astronauts

03:15 had to ensure everything was perfect before they went on a moon exploration journey.

03:21 Three people were on that mission.

03:23 Thomas Stafford, Module Pilot John Young, and Lunar Module Pilot Eugene Cernan.

03:29 They had to do tons of gear tests for the upcoming Apollo 11 missions.

03:34 The astronauts were circling the moon when they heard music coming from somewhere.

03:39 It wasn't like Ed Sheeran's concert, it was more like constant loud screaming.

03:44 Then it was quiet whistling.

03:47 They were terrified.

03:49 Imagine being in space for the first time and hearing weird noises.

03:54 The sounds lasted for a whole hour.

03:59 The astronauts had never heard anything like that before.

04:02 The sound was otherworldly and creepy.

04:06 When they returned to Earth, they didn't know if they should tell someone about their

04:09 experience because it was hard to believe.

04:12 Michael Collins, an astronaut from the Apollo 11 mission, later shared that he had also

04:17 heard this sound.

04:19 But there is a kind of logical explanation for this.

04:23 Engineers from NASA said that the sound that they had heard had been caused by the interference

04:28 with the communications system.

04:31 So you can relax and throw your tinfoil hat in the trash.

04:35 But before you do that, Al Worden, an astronaut from the Apollo 15 mission, said that this

04:40 explanation was unlikely.

04:43 So we might never find out what really caused the sound.

04:50 Leroy Chow was the commander of the International Space Station in 2005.

04:55 When it comes to space, he's seen a lot of things that can send chills down your spine.

05:01 One encounter he and his crew had will live on in their head rent-free forever.

05:06 Chow was sitting in the space station doing his job when he suddenly spotted light from

05:11 the corner of his eye.

05:12 He took a closer look, and it resembled an upside-down V, floating and glowing in space.

05:19 Leroy later explained that he hadn't been scared by the object.

05:23 Quite the opposite.

05:24 He was extremely excited to see it, even though he had no idea what it was.

05:31 His crew also saw the strange object.

05:33 Chow was convinced he was visited by something not from Earth.

05:38 His team could also vouch that indeed they saw something unexplainable.

05:43 The information about this encounter is all over the internet, and many people are skeptical.

05:50 It could have been anything.

05:52 There are more than 10,000 satellites in space right now.

05:56 It could have been a satellite floating in space.

06:00 Another theory is that those were lights reflecting from a fishing boat on Earth.

06:04 But who knows?

06:06 There may be another logical explanation for this phenomenon waiting to be discovered.

06:14 Horror stories don't stop there.

06:16 This one is hard to believe, and it's up to you to figure out if it's true.

06:21 Astronaut Alan Bean was the fourth individual to set foot on the Moon's surface.

06:26 When he was on the Apollo 12 mission, he claimed he saw a unique shape on the Moon.

06:32 It was shiny and shaped like a shoe.

06:35 It's hard to know what he saw because he passed away in 2018.

06:40 Chinese lunar rover Yutu 2 also discovered some shiny substance on the Moon.

06:46 Scientists say it was something gel-like.

06:49 It could be a glaze that formed when something impacted the Moon's surface, like a meteorite

06:55 or something else.

06:56 But in the future, we might find a better explanation for this strange find.

07:04 This may sound wicked, but many countries send animals to space before humans follow

07:09 them.

07:10 Take Miss Baker, a squirrel monkey, Ham the Chimp, and many more.

07:16 Many of these animals returned to Earth safely and lived happily ever after, like Ham the

07:20 Chimp that lived for 26 years.

07:24 But some weren't so lucky.

07:26 Astronauts are still creeped out when they see animals floating in space.

07:30 Imagine seeing something like that in a dark vacuum.

07:34 No matter how tough you are, after that, you will be afraid of your own shadow.

07:40 This may be sad, but it was an essential step in space exploration.

07:47 The following horror story comes from space engineer Musa Manarov.

07:53 This guy came across something that made scientists confused.

07:57 He was shooting a video of space when he accidentally filmed some shiny object flying in the distance.

08:03 The thing had a cylindrical shape, and Manarov thought it was something that had detached

08:08 from the spacecraft.

08:09 But he was unsure because it moved in a unique way.

08:14 When you think of a creepy space story, the first thing that comes to your mind is some

08:19 creature crawling on the spacecraft, or some weird object flying in space.

08:25 But all those things are highly unlikely to happen.

08:29 When somebody asked Chris Hadfield what the scariest thing about space was, he said it

08:34 was asteroids.

08:36 There are thousands of them in space, and the spacecraft is constantly getting hit by

08:41 them.

08:42 Chris said that he'd always heard sounds from asteroids hitting his spacecraft.

08:47 He also mentioned that the spacecraft's solar panels were covered with holes.

08:53 And you never know whether a giant asteroid will come and hit your spacecraft.
