> The timing of this flash matched the interval it would take a projectile to travel from the building to the rocket.

This seems a wildly broad description, doesn't it? What interval, for what projectile?

Well, projectiles would travel somewhere between just under mach 1 and a top limit of... mach 3, maybe? So the flash would have to be some time between 1.5 and 5 seconds before the explosion? That is not a very large window.

Why would you even bother to bring this up. This is a non-technical consumer oriented news report, not an engineering analysis.

SpaceX saw a weird coincidence that might be worth investigating. Thats all you need to know.
