You see this blurry thing going around like, what is this?
I'm right there with you.
I think we need more.
Did you look at the Gemini 7, Frank Borman, by any chance, that audio?
Yes.
And Buzz also.
Okay, so I forget on the Borman one, but Avi had a good explanation of this is cosmic rays.
Okay, so cosmic rays ping your retina.
They also land on film and they can cause film to record something.
So he thinks, and I think he's probably right, that the lunar photos where you see the little blue lights in the distant sky on the moon, and Buzz Aldrin's report that inside the cabin, he sees lights.
Even with his eyes closed, he sees light.
Well, that's cosmic rays.
It's like if you press the side of your eyeball, you'll see a little white light.
And then the third one...
that I'm not sure about.
But the Palomar telescope, the 200-inch telescope there, in the 1940s developed film there of things in the sky.
There's nothing in the sky.
This is before satellites, as far as Sputnik.
So 1940s and 50s.
This is Beatrice Villareal's Project Vasca.
