Special team 24 hours a day is record handling.

Engineers want information to certain things that are embargoed by NASA. Overreacting with too much information embargoed for now which means to me anyone claiming to have a lot of data on what happened doesn't know what they are talking about.

"We are not sure if the item was white...or just 'light' colored as a result of the sun hitting it."

Said this in reference to the 'tiles' that might have come off at lift-off. He is not convinced it was actually tile, it sounds like to me.

He is debunking a lot of information that is out there in the press because most of the data has been embargoed and not released.

Single tiles west of Texas on the way down? Have to coordinated with the CA observers. The observation that was forwarded from CA is important -- he described what he thought was tile falling off the vehcile -- whether it was tile they don't know. Talking to him. Don't know if there is any debris in NM, AZ, CA. Tile found in Fort Worth may be significant -- they don't know. Because tile is light it may have limited it to landing in the Ft Worth/Dallas area.

If the observation on the West Coast is correct. If we truly were shedding some material as early as CA would be signficant. Don't know that to be a fact! Sole team to investigate those reports. Interviewing the observer as to what he is saying.

Reports form all over the country -- some are fruitful others are not. Eliminating those that are not going to pay dividends. Too early to tell if findings would be useful.
