It's a interplanetary dust particle, a small micro meteorite, Everyone is going to say no way there is no entrance mark, No Track !.. Yes there is... It hit the glass on the other side and was travelling toward you.
Yeah, thats it...!
Weird how in pierced the metal backing of the areogel holder and went all the way through the gel, and then stopped right on the surface like that.
There was no metal backing, just a metal frame. They have the collector sitting right now probably sitting over top of a stainless steel tray so nothing gets lost. It also adds contrast to the movies. It is glass both sides.
Oh sorry it's not a stainless steel tray.
a mirror underneath gives the best possible contrast.
There are people here that would still say the above image is still No Track.

I'm sure it's nothing, but just on the last frame, approx. 85 microns right of the centre, one of the specs darkens slightly.
That's the precision I use for these pictures, probably overdoing it here.
comments highly welcome
Awful close to the surface. Ya there is something there. I personally think it's a surface feature that is just going out of focus. Turning from a single spot to a oval. Add jpg compression. Any tracks should be kind of obvious but at depth they may look like that. This is really too close to the surface. I think it's that comet flake feature going out of focus or surface flaws.
A few frames up you can see comet dust or oxide on the surface as you go down one side of that feature turns darker. That's what you are seeing. A shadow from that.

Oh, yeah, it's not one those mike specks, as it isn't there unchangengly all the time.
I figured it's probably just a jpg compression thingy. Probably show nothing in full resolution...

If seen this one and since it only focusses on the surface about 4 or 5 bars from below there is no way you can be sure about anything in it. So i click them bad focus.
This does not increase the count but does not mean i click way to fast
I'm reluctant to use bad focus unless it is bad focus. If you look at the picture they plotted of bad focus movies there is so many. I just have a feeling there never going to look at those again. This isn't my movie, I was not first I'm just sending it along for a second look. It needs a second look. Unless they do all the bad focus movies manually you will just get a new bad focus movie to replace this one. I can't see them doing thousands and thousands manually. My two cents. really they are all bad focus movies. Over compressed, hardly diagnostic quality. That's what we have to work with well then they might have to look more closer at a few of them then.
A second look will answer it once and for all and we can move on.
