NASA-UAP-D012, Mercury Atlas 8 Audio Excerpt, October 3, 1962 is indexed as a NASA record with incident date 10/3/62 and location Low Earth Orbit. During the Mercury Atlas 8 mission, Sigma 7 pilot Walter M. Wally Schirra Jr. describes observing little white objects that tend to come from the capsule itself and drift off. Schirra later also refers to those objects as particles and lathe shavings. Schirra also describes seeing a burst of light in the window, whose source he cannot identify. He speculates that his observation corresponds with the moment the sun passes below the horizon during sunset.
