What Did Pete Carroll Throw on Field During Challenge Attempt?

The internet is trying to figure out what Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll had in his pocket during the game against the Green Bay Packers.

Carrol reached for his red challenge flag during the game, but when he couldn't find it, he just tossed whatever was in his pocket down to the field.
