Astronaut Ed White: The First American to Walk in Space

On June 3, 1965, American Astronaut Ed White stepped out of his Gemini 4 capsule to take America's first Spacewalk or Extravehicular Acticity (EVA).  During his time outside of the crew cabin, his crewmember and Command Pilot Jim McDivitt filmed the outing on a16mm camera which has now been restored to glorious High Definition.

Did anyone else happen to see what looked like a glove fly off into space?
