Apollo 12 audio catches flashes and streaks
The crew and doctor talk about light flashes as a known phenomenon from particles hitting the eye. That is one of the archive's clearest mundane explanations for something that sounds strange. It is a model for how to read astronaut anomalies.
Now, listen, we read this paragraph in here about these, quote, coronal discharges that you guys were seeing, and that completely stops us. Tell us how this came about and who talked to you about it and what you saw. They reported in the case about two things, where the VHF radio devices would be discharged from someplace in the state, and the other one where, I thought it was a nail site, and you said, of course, it's being planted in a spacecraft. It's not even with their eyes closed. No, no, no. They noticed them when they were awake at night and the spacecraft was dark, and they thought they were in a spacecraft. But whoever this guy was said, no, that's a perfectly known phenomenon. You can get discharged across your eyes from gamma rays or something. So they added a bunch of things.
