In the replay after ET sep I noticed a small white object separate
from the orbiter port side in the wing area. Maybe ice or something
like that. With the Sun angle all kinds of stuff was visible with the
engine plume tailoff and such.

I recorded the launch. About T plus 2:47 I saw up to 3 different
chunks, of what looked to be foam, separate from the ET moving up and
over the wing. If anybody recorded the launch, look back and check to
see if you agree.
