This week's strange news brings some jaw-dropping and bizarre stories! First, German skydiver Max Manno attempted an "endless skydive" over the Grand Canyon, using a wingsuit and a plane to keep diving repeatedly. Sounds like a thrill-seeker’s dream! Next, in Germany, competitors gathered for a unique contest—imitating the call of a red deer. The judges picked the best deer impersonator, though to most of us, the noises just sound hilarious. Lastly, space isn’t as silent as we thought! Scientists recorded eerie "chorus waves," electromagnetic sounds from deep space, which resemble birds chirping or whistles. Makes you wonder—who or what else might be listening?
