Summary
Part II of the preliminary Gemini 5 debriefing transcript, including the 'Visual Sightings' section. Cooper and Conrad describe the Rendezvous Evaluation Pod (REP), which they say 'stayed with us for 20 orbits' and came close enough that its flashing light illuminated the spacecraft. Conrad says he took 70mm Hasselblad pictures and 16mm movies.
Note
The object discussed in the passages reviewed is the crew's own released REP; the index also cites descriptions of debris and 'snow.'
