Roger.
Cut in.
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.
Okay.
Frame 70.
And, Bob.
This is Geno.
My impression is that
they are - flat, flakelike particles.
Some may
be 6 inches across.
And, although there's no
relative motion between the two, most of them seem
to be twinkling.
And I think, for the most part,
they're all moving away from us.
Roger, Gene.
Thank you.
Okay.
We've got 0180 and 0 on the old thumbwheels.
Okay.
Roger, Ron.
Okay.
