NASA-UAP-D013, Mercury Atlas 7, May 24, 1962

DVIDS description: During the fourth crewed spaceflight and second orbital flight of Project Mercury, Mercury-Atlas 7 (MA-7), Aurora 7 pilot Scott Carpenter describes white particles in view that appear to move at “random” and “look exactly like snowflakes.” He describes these phenomena as reflective, and that some seemed to move faster than the Aurora 7 spacecraft. DVIDS title: DVIDS - Video - NASA-UAP-D013, Mercury Atlas 7, May 24, 1962 I have the more of the white particles in view below the capsule. They appear to be traveling exactly. My speed there is one drifting off. It's going faster than I am, it's a better thing. I understand. I haven't seen the great numbers of these particles, but I've seen a few of them. Their motion is random. They look exactly like snowflakes to me. Roger, have you tried our results? Negative, let me get within scanner limits first. Say it, I must adjust my attitude to within scanner limits first. Roger. There were some more of those little particles that definitely looked like snowflakes this time. I understand your particles look like definite snowflakes. However, you try? Roger.
