"Crumbs of bright material initially photographed in the trench later
vanished, meaning they must have been frozen water that vaporized
after being exposed, Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson,
said in a statement Thursday.

been some question whether the bright material was salt. Salt can't do
that.""
