I have seen a piece of stuff passing near the right wing in the ET camera
view...
Did you see that?

Well, I only got to watch a little bit around MaxQ -- changed channels
late, and then they went back to fire coverage, and chapparal doesn't
have nearly as clean a flame.

During the bit I watched, the "wobbling" of the ET foam right below
the camera was plainly visible, but it all stayed along for the ride
while I was watching.

That's not the ET foam "wobbling". The lower foreground of ET-Cam
shows the LOX line, not the ET itself. It's a fisheye lens, so the
line looks huge, but its just a perspective thing. The LOX line is
free to shudder a little, since all that LOX is pumping through it and
its gonna vibrate some.

Hey, it was 8:30 am, and I had 15 seconds to figure out what I was
looking at -- lemme at those replays!

I saw it. It came off rather late in the ascent, well after SRB sep,
and appeared to go over the right wing. It didn't appear to hit anything.
