Summary

Part II of the preliminary Gemini 4 debriefing transcript, which includes the 'Visual Sightings' section. James McDivitt describes 'millions and millions' of 'fireflies or particles' outside the spacecraft after a urine dump at sunset and says the crew took movies of them. White says a view 'looked kind of like a star field, but it looked kind of unreal, too.'

Note

The particles are tied in the transcript to a urine dump.
