EXCERPTS: The Soviet Space program, like the US space program, has not been without its disasters. [...] In 1960, a rocket launch in the Soviet Union killed around 160 people near the launchpad. In 1971, three cosmonauts died on Soyuz 11 after a faulty valve led to sudden decompression.
The Soviets also gained a reputation – not completely undeserved – of covering up incidents that embarrassed them and taking unnecessary risks.
So when the Judica-Cordiglia brothers claimed to have made recordings of supposed crewed missions by the Soviet Union, it's easy to see why people were receptive to the idea. The brothers claim to have recorded several missions by the Soviets that were not public knowledge, including a morse code SOS signal from a spacecraft that appeared to be moving away from Earth's orbit.
[...] One of their most famous recordings, supposedly taken in November 1963, claims to capture one of the "lost cosmonauts" as she re-enters the atmosphere, dying before she returned to the Earth.
The brothers claim that they did not speak Russian, and had to get translators (as well as ask their sister to learn Russian) to find out what they had recorded. The brothers maintain to this day that the recordings are genuine.
However, the "lost cosmonauts" theory may just be a conspiracy theory [...] "No evidence for supposed deaths of cosmonauts on these early space missions can stand up under serious scrutiny today," Oberg wrote in a long piece debunking the "lost cosmonaut" theory.
"The blame for the fact that these stories spread and thrived in the early 1960's must rest squarely on the shoulders of the Soviet news managers. Their publicity policy of evasions, boasts, distortions and outright lies created the atmosphere of mystery and secrecy out of which all sorts of sensational and outrageous stories grew."
