Has anyone closely reviewed the WB-57 Chase Plane Video of Discovery's ascent? It appears to me that starting somewhere around 1:46 into the vid (1:31 into the flight) there looks like a flickering plume coming from one of the joints of the left SRB, similar to what appeared just before Challenger exploded. (Actually, it looks like a small glow in that area appears around 1:30 in the vid.) It's quite evident that there is vapor activity between the SRB's at the rear of the external tank, ABOVE the nozzles, which eventually disappears around 1:57 in the vid.<br /><br />Take a look and let me know what you think. If this has already been discussed, I apologize...I'm new here and haven't reviewed past postings.<br /><br />http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/WB57.wmv<br /><br />http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/multimedia/RTF_videos_search_agent_archive_1.html
