Not to me.

Bob, for the most part, these fragments are not -
or are tumbling at a very slow rate. 
I tried a 
couple of pictures of them - different settings. 
You may get an idea of what, at least, the patterns 
look like. 
CC 
Roger. 
I've got you. 
We're all ears on these frag­
ments. 
Do you think you can figure out what they 
might be?

Well, you know I -
I don't know. 
There are a num­
ber of possibilities…

Every once in a while, a fragment of considerably 
higher velocity than the others goes across my 
window. 
But that's very rare. 
Roger. 
Hey, that's that field of view I saw out my window. 
Jack, do you see it now? 
Yes. 
And, Bob. 
At least, there - there's no apparent 
relative motion between fragments. 
Roger. 
Understand. 
I'll take two pictures about a minute apart if I 
can. 
And it'll be Frame 70.

Not last night, but ­
I guess the first night I was in bed - I definitely 
saw some of these - because I had a hard time going

I will say one thing, though; no question in my 
mind but that they're there. 
Last trip I took, 
I guess I just wasn't looking for them or paying 
any attention to them. 
Maybe they were there and 
I ignored them because of other things. 
But they're 
there.

We've got a real
