NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reported hearing strange, sonar-like noises from the Boeing Starliner spacecraft aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The sounds, described as repetitive and pulsating, were detected just days before the capsule’s scheduled unmanned return to Earth on September 6, 2024. Wilmore and fellow astronaut Sunita Williams, stranded on the ISS due to Starliner's technical issues, alerted NASA’s Mission Control in Houston. The origin of the noise remains unknown, with theories ranging from electromagnetic interference to audio system feedback. NASA plans to return the astronauts aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule in February 2025.
