One day, I turned my wrist just-right, and realized the dots were tiny reflections of sunlight off the bezel of my wristwatch.
I remember when they aired John Glenn's conversation as he made our first trip into space.
He reported seeing small glowing orbs swirling around outside his window. You could sense the tension. Then one of the ground guys said, "What are they saying, John?" and the whole crowd broke up.
I think it ended up being particles from the capsule.
Yep - amazing how reflections appear to be real at times...I found myself trying to wipe off what looked like strands of spider webs one time while stopped at a light - there was a glass truck ahead of me and the light caused very fine lines to appear on the windshield...only figured it out as they seemed to move when I leaned over and then did a quick trip off the windshield when the truck moved off.
