[net.columbia] Collision with a bird on reentry

cwh@drutx.UUCP (Hoffmeyer) (10/15/84)

The network pictures of the shuttle showed a white-ish substance on the
underside of one the shuttle surfaces.  Was this the 'bird'?  Was it
perhaps the white ash residue of the deceased avian crisped by impacting
a still (very) warm re-entering space vehicle?

Comments?
