Gemini 5 identified most visual sightings

This is the Gemini 5 flight crew debriefing transcript from Cooper and Conrad in August and September 1965, whose Visual Sightings section records mostly man-made and natural things, including one briefly seen unidentified object drifting along, an unexplained green light in the airglow, and a large object reentering behind them that the crew think was their own retro pack or adapter. The section is careful and mixed, with some objects identified and one or two left with little explanation. That honest mixture is more useful than a tidied-up mystery.
