        The analysis doesn't rule out (in fact might suggest) the possibility it is a toilet SEAT.

        It appears blown out the rupture to the right side of second floor. It would be nice to find structure layout diagrams.

        Logically, a toilet should be located in upper middle-front room with smaller window. Toilet akin to JFK magic bullet.

        I received a msg from somebody I know who had access to an Apple II house. No toilets/plumbing fixtures in atom tests.

        It was likely external paneling blowing off from the house.

        It's definitely the ventilation louvers. You can see the holes where they have been ripped from the wall as they go.
