Junk Causes Noise at Space Station

This can't be blamed on noisy neighbors.

ABC News reports that the crew aboard the International Space Station reported hearing a noise that "sounded like a metal tin can kind of being expanded and compressed. It was a noise that lasted about a second. It sounded like an impact or something."

An unnamed spokesman for the Russian Space Forces, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said "the space forces had detected an object along the station's orbit, and had determined that it was very small and would pose no danger to the craft."

The incident did not endanger the crew or disrupt their Thanksgiving dinner.
