Original Note:
A piece of solid oxygen ice that formed as the second stage Merlin engine vented liquid oxygen before ignition broke off from a vent and was caught by the exhaust gas manifold that surrounds the engine bell. The same phenomenon has been seen in previous Falcon 9 launches. https://www.quora.com/Was-there-really-a-rat-on-the-latest-SpaceXs-dragon
