Is it an effect of perspective or does the cloud travel faster than the shuttle, either by being ejected forward or into a slightly lower orbit. I doubt that either would show up in matter of 5 minutes or so." The dump is directly toward the earth and so the particles are forced into lower orbits in which the particles begin to move faster and then lead the Shuttle. This is a normal consequence of such action and it does show up very quickly after the start of the dump as evidenced by our video and direct observations as early as 1984. Paul Paul D.
