46- mpeg files - EXCELLENT

The three files run on windows media player, and when you blow it up to full screen, you can see a whole lot more.

mpeg 1 - clearly shows a piece coming off in the area of max turbulence, near the forward attach point, moving up for some feet, then turning in the turbulence, and moving down. (this is the video everybody has been looking at.

mpeg 2 - not so clearly, but enough to see when expanded to full screen, it shows the underside of the wing, and the thing hitting the underside of the wing just about where the front of the wheel well would be.

mpeg 3 - shows the same thing again, slightly differently.

These are great, you can see what is hidden on the first mpeg.

External Tank Debris Footage Clip 1, Clip 2, Clip 3

Some of the detail is lost due to the MPEG compression, but you can still use Quicktime to "arrow key" through the frames to get size and velocity ests. The debris didn't pick up much velocity in that ~1000mph airstream, linear or rotational, which indicates it was a lot more massive than foam.
