Apollo 17 folded flashes into a debrief

NASA, 1973.

This is a two-page excerpt of the Apollo 17 Technical Crew Debriefing from January 4, 1973, in which crew members Evans, Cernan, and Schmitt describe in-flight sights including a fireball or tunnel-like effect, spotting an aircraft carrier during recovery, and light flashes seen during the flight and the ALFMED experiment. All of these odd perceptions stay inside normal mission talk, and nothing behaves like a clean UFO case. It is a record of astronauts reporting strange visual experiences in a strange environment.
