Thanks jsmaje.
Below yet an illustration of its course in the aerogel.
I wonder whether such a zigzag track ever was found before?

Its been a while since I spotted a low angle track but then tonight I spotted one;

Alas, only 12/306 still a bit low for this type of track.
Cheers.

Here is an event similar to that one

Hi DustBuster,
Wow, looks very strange (if it is a track entering into the aerogel). I'm not quite sure whether the surface in this movie is tilted or not.
Few days ago I stumbled on a possible track once again too (very small - left below)

Nicely spotted, a good track for sure.
Cheers,

Doubt it personally - the black specks focus at pretty much the same level as the surrounding surface debris, and would have needed very shallow low-velocity trajectories. Just surface dust settling in surface cracks maybe, or some type of aerogel defect?
I've seen a few isolated ones like that before, but to have two close together pointing at the same angle like that ... well, who knows? Certainly worth clicking anyway.

Hi Tim,
Just spotted that your last finding is already listed here - found by yourself in the adjacent movie.
------------------------------------------------
Hi xxxxxy, yea, but it is also already listed here (the same movie).

Hi DustBuster,
Looking at this movie
5852216V1 in the VM something rang a bell..., it is the adjacent movie below of 8513043V1.
Now, to me, it looks more a surface structur/feature (at stepped surface) than a strange track.

fjgiie, that's the best candidate I've seen. Nice clear hole at surface level, slanting off the frame as you focus downward.
Does anybody know how to find the next frame down given the id number?

Wow, if that hole-like thing is really associated with the (likely) track, and its "bullet hole" into the aerogel, it would be rather odd. (if I'm correct) In order to darken aerogel by bullets that way, they had to heat up and melt the aerogel next to their tracks. That is only possible when they were fast enough like IS particle are.
If that happened by this track, why caused it only this small (short) circle at surface.

I think I may have seen this one before
