Oct 7, 2016 at 14:30 comment added Valorum Looking at it, I can see at least three instances where an "out of control" vessel simply explodes, one a few seconds after they initially turn on the music, another when they approach the "wave" and another less than a second after the Yorktown turns on their transmitters.
Oct 7, 2016 at 14:18 comment added PoloHoleSet To be clear, I'm not saying that we see tiny drones colliding and then exploding. We also don't see any in isolation spontaneously exploding. We just see the cascade of explosions as the Enterprise flies by. We don't see enough detail to see if there are collisions or not. I'm responding to the assertion that we see explosions specifically "not from collisions."
