Did John Glenn See Space Bugs on His Friendship 7 Mission?

Did John Glenn see space bugs on his Friendship 7 mission?

Glenn was the third American astronaut in space and the first to orbit the Earth. After completing the first orbit, he reported an unusual sighting. Turns out, these so-called fireflies were just particles of frozen water vapor that got dislodged from the spacecraft.

So, not exactly an interstellar bug party, but still pretty cool for 1962!
