The Mysterious "Lost Cosmonaut" Recording | Random Thursday

LTC David Brown I Wish I Could Tell for Sure. I'm a Spook I've Heard Similar Type Stories. Yes I "Watched" (Listened Too) OK Yeah, Spied on the Russian Space Program from 83-87 but that was Long After this Happened. I Know I Hate Typing Phonetic Russian with a Passion.

I remain skeptical about this recording. For starters, if it's not heavily edited, the conversation doesn't seem to make much sense. Even if it is, or if it's been translated even remotely accurately, it seems random...to me at least. Second, I'm no expert, but I'd imagine once something critical began to be physically noticeable to the pilot...we'd be talking moments, not minutes. Finally, I'd expect communication of any sort to be impossible during re-entry...which is what this is set up to sound like.

If by chance, it is what it's purported to be...then my heart breaks for whomever it was whose last moments were so terrifying, and so prolonged.
