The eerie part is that the sounds sound exactly like fifties sci-fi music/ sound design, how did they know? how?

Wait, I think this was a subplot on Gilligan's Island once--the Russian cosmonaut's cavity filling acted as a radio receiver.

I don't know how they knew -- but the early masters of that sort of thing, Louis and Bebe Barron -- who scored the first film to use an entirely electronic score, Forbidden Planet -- actually did so by creating specific circuits that behaved somewhat randomly and autonomously once they were engaged; and I guess that mimics the conditions found around the Outer Planets (where there's loads of RF bouncing around everywhere).
