First off -- thank you all SO MUCH for such a great show. Lost is right up there in my book with the first season of Twin Peaks and early episodes of The X-Files.

Question: There has been much speculation regarding what appear to be odd objects flying around the crash site in the Pilot -- particularly in the area around the jet engine. These objects continue to be seen for some time after the engine explodes, so that would suggest it was not debris kicked up by the engine. Can someone from the creative team confirm explicitly that these objects (which are quite clear in slo mo) are indeed just debris or glitches in the CGI or some kind of effects remnants and not unexplained phenomena? The most response we've gotten so far from the team is more or less a non-denial denial. :)

Thank you!

(edited for clarity)

Since we finally saw the weird 2% to 5% of the monster in Exodus, Part 2, I hope it's okay to pose this question to the team once more. Please, for the love of Ian, er, Boone, consider throwing us a bone. I'm getting crucified over at alt.tv.lost for insisting that these objects -- and others -- are more than just CGI glitches. ;D

Oh, and thanks for an excellent finale. I really appreciate the 2-hour episode!
