Identify This
This pic was taken at Blackwater.
Anyone know what the tiny object is on the roof, just above the third grey panel from the left on the second floor?
How did it get there?

I believe that it is a projectile of some type, and how it got there envolves the white sheet hanging between the posts. Now for questions: is it some sort of UEO, or an inert projectile?

Sir, I have no clue what object you are talking about? I have stared at that damn picture but can't seem to pinpoint what you are referring to. Could you or someone else highlight the area on the roof?

Air.177: No. Sheet has nothing to do with it being up there. Not UXO.
Gackman: No. Nice try though.
XspankyX: Will try, it is just a speck at this resolution, but it is clearly visible.

Nope.
Hint: The adjacent range was being used by LeMas.

BINGO!!
That piece of meat (and several others much larger which rolled off the roof) flew over 50 feet laterally and 20 feet high to land there.
There were a several of chunks that were in the 2-3 pound range lying at the base of the building where they had rolled off the roof.
Thanks for playing. Tuukka, you are very knowledgable and good at this.
Here is a camera positioned to catch one of their earlier shots.
