Reuters is reporting that earlier today the International Space Station crew reported hearing a noise causing fear that something struck the outside of the station.
Astronaut Mike Foale told NASA's Mission Control:
It 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.Russian astronaut, Alexander Kaleri, also heard the sound as the astronauts were finishing breakfast.
A video camera on the station's 57-foot-long robot arm was used to scan the external section where the sound came from, but saw no damage.
