The real story of that 'music' Apollo 10 astronauts heard at the moon

In 1969, astronauts flying around the moon on the Apollo 10 mission heard what was described then as*"outer space-type music" as they came around the far side of the lunar body.
The high-pitched whistling sound was so weird that it led astronaut Gene Cernan to say "** one will believe us (http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/mission_trans/AS10_LM.PDF)" at the time they heard it.*The sound was probably especially weird because the astronauts were flying around the far side of the moon, where radio transmission between them and controllers on Earth was cut off.*

Today, however, Cernan has a pretty good explanation for what may have caused the moon music, and it runs contrary to many media accounts (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/apollo-10-astronauts-reported-unexplained-music-at-moon_us_56c80662e4b0928f5a6c0679).
