Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency translation, dated 12 December 1990, reports a Moscow Television "Vremya" newscast from 6 December 1990 about a Mir news conference with the Soviet-Japanese spaceflight crew. Toyohiro Akiyama describes how hard his first days of weightlessness were, and says Earth looked afflicted by illness. Gennadiy Strekalov reports that he saw an object he first took for an unidentified flying object before deciding it was probably something like an aerostat casing.
