     Moments ago, at 1:40pm EDT (1740z) DC-8 Air Transport 300 departed 
Patrick AFB, heading to Antigua.  As he was climbing at the departure end of Rnwy 
20, something quite large fell from the acft.
     I have been in contact with Patrick AFB about what I witnessed, and they 
are supposed to have someone contact me.
