The NASA news conference indicated that the accelerometer sensors in
the potentially affected wing area did not indicate a significant hit,
and the OBSS inspection so far shows no evidence of a hit. They also
said that the analysts looking at the offending foam trajectory were
divided as to whether it made contact with the wing.

...If we're talking about the Big Strip, from the playbacks if
anything hit it *might* have been one of those straps. I saw a
playback last night on a 32" HDTV screen, and from what I could tell
it really didn't look like it came anywhere near close to hitting the
wing.

This particular piece of debris wasn't the Big Strip. The footage shown in
the news conference showed that the debris came off after the roll to
heads-up, well after the Big Strip was already gone.
