From Clavius.org (an excellent source for Apollo data)

They were first reported over the radio by the Apollo 11 crew during their return from the moon. Subsequent crews were asked to pay special attention to the phenomena and describe it scientifically. On Apollos 16 and 17, physics experiments involving photographic plates were performed to see whether the flashes were the result of heavy cosmic rays.

Why was Apollo 1 the only Apollo mission that was never launched?

Apollo 1 was never launched because a cabin fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, tragically claimed the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. The report following the investigation highlighted numerous design and safety flaws in the spacecraft, prompting a redesign of the Apollo spacecraft before further missions were attempted.

When did NASA launch its Mercury mission?

The first launch in the Mercury Program was on 21 August 1959 and was designated as JL-1 and was called Little Joe. It was designed as a sub-orbital flight and it truly was. The mock-up capsule was fired by an electrical fault 35 seconds before scheduled, flew to an altitude of 0.4 miles and lasted a total of 20 seconds. The mission report read: Failed to meet objectives. More then two years later the MA-5 mission carrying Enos the Chimp made two orbits on his flight and survived. On 5 May 1961 Alan B. Shepard, Jr made his sub-orbital flight to an altitude of 116.5 miles in Freedom Seven in a mission that lasted for 15 minutes and 28 seconds, traveled 303 miles and reached a speed of 5,134 miles per hour.
