A strange, unearthly “shriek” greeted NASA’s Voyager I spacecraft as it became the first man-made object to enter interstellar space.
A strange rising “howl” was detected by instruments aboard the 36-year-old probe, which has travelled 12 billion miles away from our sun.
The sound was transmitted back to scientists on Earth, over a distance so vast radio waves take 17 hours to reach us. Science site iO9 described the sounds as “creepy” and “wraithlike”.

17 hours is right for 12 Billion miles, or about 130 Astronomical Units ... Sunlight (1 A.U.) takes around 8-1/2 minutes of travel time.

I mean, what’s up with that? Yikes! Kinda like a row of speed bumps warning you have strayed off the recommended path. This one probably warns you have entered ape space and you might want to recheck your navigation system. No doubt we have been quarantined. Many moons ago.

I would expect it to be “unearthly”.

According to Space News, JPL is now receiving addition code like sounds. Some type of encryption from the spacecraft.
It’s being speculated intelligent beings have captured the craft as it possibly entered an unauthorized zone just outside the solar sysltem.

You got the salt vampire scene correct.
As I recall, all the victims had suction cup type marks on their skin like you might get from an octopus or something.

I thought Bloomberg outlawed shrieks.
Can we tax them?

Not my fault.
And if guys show up and something seems inhuman about them, and they ask about me, you never heard a thing!

Assuming it is not a hoax, so do I. What is going on out there?
