Default Foam sep at about T plus 2:47 from ET cam.

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.

I don't know about over the wing. Maybe aft, almost like it came from
the bottom portion fo the tank under the wing.

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 thought I saw something when watching it live. I went back to my tape
and it sure looks like that's what happened.

I just saw the replay looking down the ET, and I saw 2 instances of foam
loss. The first two smaller looking chunks and about 30-45 sec that came off
together then later a larger piece that you can see flying away. Cant say if
they hit anything.
