I've been puzzling over this pic for a while now. It appears that it must have been one of the larger pieces, yet there doesn't appear to be any cratering. Anything that was traveling that fast, from that high up, you would expect to throw quite a lot of dirt on impact. Unless it very non-dense material. The first thought that crossed my mind as to what this debris might be would be some of the ceramic tiles. They are among the few components that very likely would have survived the trip down intact. And they also are of relatively low density, which might explain why more dirt wasn't thrown up. And they certainly would be plenty hot, as is quite evident from the picture.

Anyone else's thoughts?
