Astronaut Evans observed what appeared to be a tunnel with a bright spot in the middle and a fireball visible in the distance after the brightness of the fireball decreased.
“after the brightness of the fireball decreased, I could look back up through the rendezvous window and see what to me was kind of like a tunnel with a bright spot in the middle of the tunnel. Way down the tunnel, way back behind, I could see the fireball.”
