  1. What would that green cloud be?

    The red is the actual debris of the shuttle, but the green one is what? Just a cloud? (as the image is of the weather radar)

  2. My old First Sergeant was a junior Soldier assigned to Fort Polk at the time as OPFOR, or opposing force. Just west of Alexandria on the map. They had to go out into the training area at Polk to locate and secure shuttle debris that landed in the area.

  3. I was about 12 and had a friend sleep over the night before. I remember she and I and my sister all waking up in the living room to a sonic boom.
