Background
During the Gemini 7 mission, on 5 December 1965 according to Eberhart, the astronauts mention a "bogey" in their radio communications. James Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the comments as referring to booster-associated debris and not to a UFO. Astronaut Frank Borman later confirms that what he saw was not a UFO; when he offers to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers tell him they are not sure they want him on the program. Lights and flashes are also mentioned in the technical debriefing, which includes a discussion about proper illumination for vehicle docking; Borman and Jim Lovell discuss celestial and terrestrial observational anomalies and note sightings of Mercury, meteors, aurora and lightning. The public-affairs commentary, the NASA audio feed and the technical debriefing are part of the PURSUE release. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
