Blue lights across four Apollo missions

4 records· 4 cases, highlighted on the board
  • Apollo 11: AS11-40-5938, a trio of lights (Max; being pulled).
  • Apollo 12: five war.gov frames. On 6846 to 6847 one light holds its place in the camera view while the landscape moves about 1000 px, and it brightens.
  • Apollo 14: AS14-66-9301, a blue light with a double core, on the same camera model and film as Apollo 12, plus Mitchell's private account of blue lights escorting the mission.
  • Apollo 17: VM006, a triangle of two blue lights and one orange-red.

Two motifs repeat: paired or stacked points (Apollo 12 area 5, the Apollo 14 core) and triangles of three (Apollo 11, Apollo 17). Loeb's cosmic-ray explanation is the main alternative, and the film margins can test it.
