I was surprised at the size of some of the objects fleeing from the clouds... looks like a good size cover plate flew off from somewhere...

I think a manhole cover still holds the record for the fastest object to leave the planet though... and won't be beaten. Under estimated the size of the underground nuclear test and blew a 16" thick vent manhole cover at an estimated launch speed of 125,000mph. It left the atmosphere too quickly to burn up...

So that sucker depending on the planets may have been the 1st object to leave the solar system... Also beat Sputnik into space by nearly two months.
