YORK, Pa. — A six-pound chunk of ice fell from the sky, through a York woman's roof and slightly injured her as she slept.
The source of the ice wasn't immediately known, but experts say it might have fallen from an airplane or rocket.
Mary Ann Foster says she's glad to be alive after a piece broke off and hit her on the forehead.
The ice left the 66-year-old grandmother with a large bump on her head and holes in the roof and bedroom ceiling.
She says the ice has a slightly fishy smell and looks like quartz.

A six-pound chunk of ice fell from the sky, through a York woman's roof and slightly injured her as she slept. Nah... just one of Joe Biden's hairplugs that broke loose during his flight back to Scranton.

The usual MO for these “frozen meteorites” is they are tidy-bowl blue and smell like poop as they melt. They are almost certainly the result of a malfunctioning drain valve on an airliner's sewerage holding tank. If the 'royal flush' is triggered at sufficient altitude, the discharged glop freezes into a solid poo bomb on the way down.
