okay it's in the bogan arm now and I'm
trying to slack with the arm sort of
semi-rigid pretty good job Jess this is
it yes we can see the suggestion of the
tether on the right side unless that's
just a reflection on the windowpane
fortunately it was at a very low angle
through the window and so the there's a
lot of distortion in the image copy
acquisition about the front with Roger
okay here's the last little bit I got
it's not very good it was very low in
the windows pretty dirty and
thank you Jeff to you we can see the
great news Franklin and will look that
picture
Franklin we see a long line a couple of
star-like things and a lot of things
swimming in the foreground can you
describe what you're seeing a little bit
of debris that kind of flies with us and
it's lumen aided by the saws that switch
low angles because there's a lot of
stray light and it's getting washed out
quickly but aquatics trying to do a
quick good job here jump in the camera
copy that
Houston Columbia I was 20 binoculars and
the point that would be the nikon lens
under the body bag and it only took
disappeared at McCleary the slide about
30 seconds ago cetera looked completely
straight I did not see any bright spots
along the tether except at the very
bottom where there was a bright spot
which was unresolvable for me I did not
see any anything above the satellite
thank you we copy I'll Jeff good
observations we look forward to your
descriptions and photography when you
get back

of tickled to be able to get so much
data out of it out there

together anticipating getting some
sightings over Houston a few days from
