The cone shaped object in the exhaust plume does not have the mass of the
Dragon. The side torque and sudden drag would have destroyed the Falcon 9
had it been the Dragon. Higher probability that it is half of the launch
aeroshield for the Dragon.

The fluttering stuff just looks like pieces of tank. The dragon-shaped
