No updates yet. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign. They were throwing out updates like crazy earlier.

After a long gap in tweets, there is this:
"Range assets have lost telemetry with #HTV2. More to follow"

That could mean either a fail or EOM.

It was posted shortly after nominal EOM, but there is not way of telling how long after LOS it was posted.

Downrange assets did not reacquire tracking or telemetry. #HTV2 has an autonomous flight termination capability. More to follow.

Sounds like a fail, but kinda need to hear that.

Comm loss could have either been a comm system failure or a vehicle failure. Sounds like they didn't see it impact the planned location, therefore they are implying the vehicle was lost.

I just hope they got enough telemetry to discern the faults.

AP claim fail 
However they do say that their reporting consisted of nothing more than reading the DARPA tweets.
