Weird Sounds Recorded in the Sky by Grad Student
Posted by Tony on May 6th, 2015On August 9th of 2014 graduate student Daniel Bowman sent infrasound microphones into the 19 miles into the sky above Earth just out of reach of planes but well below actually being in space.
For 9 hours and for over 400 miles the microphones recorded sounds in a layer of our sky that science hadn’t bothered with in almost 50 years.
They may start bothering it again…
Bowman’s microphones picked up sounds recorded below the range of human hearing. To make those sounds audible to our ears, they’re sped up…
When they’re sped up the results get a little freaky.
Scientists studying the sounds have yet to determine where they came from…a local wind-farm, crashing waves, wind turbulence and even the balloon’s cable.
While they all debate those things…
Maybe…just maybe it’s something else…
