People Don't Know What to Make of 'Metal Object' That Fell From Hillary's Pants in 'Medical Episode'

During Hillary Clinton's frightening health scare on Sunday at the Ground Zero 9/11 memorial service, you could hear something metal fall on the sidewalk as she was being rustled into her special 'Scooby Van'.

A careful inspection of a video of the event shows that the object appears to fall from Mrs. Clinton's pant leg:

And that has led to speculation — wild and otherwise — of what that thing was:

A law enforcement official had an explanation for why there was a metal sound from an object coming from her pants, which Fox News reported:

People had a hard time believing that the broken arm of a pair of glasses would make such a loud ping:

Then, as social media is wont to do, things got a little nutty:

This guy started asking what was up her pants awhile ago and 'MacGyvered' up a device that he imagined was up Mrs. Clinton's pant leg:

He wasn't the only one who imagined that metal thing was part of a catheter.

Over on 4Chan, one commenter hoped it would be a flash drive:

"Some New York anon needs to look and see if it's still there. Imagine if it's a flash drive."

Allies of Mrs. Clinton are not taking the speculation about Mrs. Clinton's health problems well.

The Huffington Post declared reportage on Mrs. Clinton collapse a "low" moment:

But others, such as The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, couldn't ignore Mrs. Clinton's health problems anymore:

Cillizza previously declared the issue of the former Secretary of State's health off limits until her episode Sunday:

Whatever that thing was, Mrs. Clinton was seen wearing the same broken glasses 90 minutes later that supposedly fell apart and down her pant leg.

Donald Trump says he'll be releasing new health information this week. Clinton's camp says it will, too.
