🚨UFO FILES: Apollo 12 astronauts reported seeing mysterious “streaks of light” while trying to sleep in deep space. During post-mission medical debriefings, Charles “Pete” Conrad, Richard “Dick” Gordon, and Alan L. Bean all described flashes of light appearing in complete darkness with their eyes closed. NASA later concluded the strange phenomenon was likely caused by cosmic rays passing through their retinas and visual system — meaning the astronauts were literally “seeing” radiation in space. The NASA medical team considered whether similar phenomena reported by Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin had been attributable to exposure of the retina by cosmic rays. NASA later determined that the phenomena reported by the Apollo 12 flight crew were internal to the astronauts’ vision rather than external light sources.
