I will have to make a screen capture of the scene in question (in regards to the asteroid chase sequence beginning).

From 2:04 to 2:05, there is a flash inside the crater with no lasers or objects hitting the asteroid; it's just like the asteroid "farted" for lack of a better word. This could easily be edited out (yeesh! Didn't realize how white the MF engines are)

Yeah, that's what I was talking about, as well. There is a tiny asteroid that flies into that crater and makes that flash.
