Achille and Gian Judica-Cordiglia built incredible ham radios in the late 50′s and 60′s.  Their primary claim to fame was they claimed to have intercepted transmissions between NASA, the Russian space program, and their astronauts/cosmonauts.  Some of those transmissions with the cosmonauts were pretty dramatic.  One included a fading SOS.  The suggestion with that is a Russian cosmonaut’s craft didn’t return to Earth, but instead kept going.  The other is even more dramatic.  Supposedly it’s a female cosmonaut who’s ship was damaged during launch.  After waiting several days to try to figure what to do, she re-entered and burned up.  Here is supposedly a recording of her last transmission:

Here is the transcript:

And, one other is supposedly of the heartbeat and breathing of a dieing cosmonaut.  Pretty dramatic stuff.

Other very credible researchers discredit these recordings quite effectively.  However, two things are for certain.  The Russians have lost cosmonauts that were covered up initially and later admitted.  And, the Russians have a history of horrid space related malfunctions:

Russian Launch Pad Disaster –
So, although I’m willing to cede the likelihood that the Judica-Cordiglia brothers faced huge challenges and may have fabricated some aspects of the Russian disasters, I can’t simply dismiss the possiblity their recordings are real due to the nature of the Russians at that time.  With a concern more on image than historical accuracy, the Russians forced a lot of casualties that are now documented.  So, until the Russians fess up on all the casualties and and malfunctions, I’ll not rule out the validity of these recordings.
