Michel Julian once called this type of tubular compression/acceleration the

In the second video the object coming from behind looks as if it
could have passed in front of the main head : a trick of
perspective -- if it broke off earlier it could be much closer than
the main body, with a larger angular velocity and apparently overtaking it.
The ejection of fragments from the main head would have to be
coincidental : maybe one TOO many coincidences (asteroid,meteor,breakup).
