NASA-UAP-D015: Astronaut Scientific Debriefings, 1962-1963

Col. Glenn observed luminous particles during the MA-6 flight.

Col. Glenn described the velocity field of the luminous particles, their brightness outside the shadow of the spacecraft, the coloring and sunlight and their shape.

The luminous particles observed by Col. Glenn were associated with the spacecraft or the launching of the booster.

From these considerations alone, it may be stated that the luminous particles observed by Col. Glenn were not extraterrestrial particles but were particles associated with the spacecraft or the launching of the booster.

Col. Glenn's observations indicate that astronauts can perform scientific experiments despite the limitations of the Mercury capsule.

It is evident that the astronaut can perform various scientific experiments, has the capability of doing so despite the many limitations imposed by the Mercury capsule.

Further investigations of the air glow and haze layer should be carried out.

The questions that we would like answered are what was the basis of Glenn's determination ef that the particles were actually travelling with the spacecraft and whether this condi- tion persisted on subsequent orbits.

As an example, Douglas said that Glenn, on his own initia- tive, had turned space- craft around 180 degrees on his orbit to whether the mysterious “‘fire- flies’ he had noticed on his first orbit might be paint or other particles from his craft.

ABSTRACT ; The theories of meteoric interaction with the atmosphere have been reviewed to determine the total contribution by meteors to the ionization content of the H-region.

The flattened shape is due to the fact that the lower portion of the sun's disk is seen through layers which refract the light much more strongly than those through which the upper part is seen.

Schirra - Something I'm curious about is, I would like to have some- body - well there are two ways of doing this - I bet I probably had water underneath me about 90% of the time.

We talked ebout that too and I think it was the same type.

‘The other thing, I thought perhaps we were getting freezing of the water coming out of the capsule and we were having snow, something like that.
