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”.

Probably a civilization somewhere out there moaning because we were finally able to burst our bubble and are on our way.

Reminds me of David Brin's 1984 Hugo-award winning short story, "The Crystal Spheres".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Spheres
"In a universe filled with habitable worlds, why have we had no contact with extra-terrestrial intelligence? "The Crystal Spheres" offers a fantastic explanation for the Great Silence. Instead of being late-comers -- might humanity have come upon the scene too early? This haunting tale was voted one of the "most beautiful of the eighties."

NASA, like the CIA, has been a leftist think tank for some time now.
