Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A New Jersey family received a shock when a giant chunk of ice crashed through the roof of their home and ended up in the kitchen.
Kim Paradise said she was giving medicine to her baby at the family's Marlton home when she heard a loud noise coming from another room.
"We heard something come through, it was like an explosion," Paradise told WPVI-TV.
The ice chunk crashed through the roof of the home and punched a hole in the kitchen ceiling. Paradise said smaller pieces of ice were found outside the home.
"There's ice outside on the grass. There's ice in our back yard, on our roof," she said.
Paradise said it was not clear where the ice came from, but there had been planes flying overhead at the time of the incident.
Paradise said no one inside the home was injured.
A Wisconsin man received a similar surprise in May when a 12.6-pound chunk of ice crashed through the roof of his family's house and into his bedroom. The origins of the ice chunk that crashed into Ken Millermon's Elk Mound home were unclear. The National Weather Service said storm clouds in the area were not strong enough to have created such a large piece of ice.
Was it sort of yellow tinged ice?
Or blue?..................................
Don’t eat it!
A chicken ran up to the farmer and said The Sky is Falling!
The farmer said Oh my God - A talking chicken!
That’s not “normal” ice…
“Ice, Ice, Baby!” said the Vanilla one.
Dum-Da-Dum-Dum ... it came from outer space ...
With a reasonably accurate time check, the FAA can determine which aircraft were in the vicinity. Examination of the damage would reveal the angle that the ice projectile was traveling and speed but only to terminal velocity (tv). Thus if it was slower than tv, it was, most likely, a lower altitude.
Most common scenario is an aircraft discharge at altitude that freezes to the airplane’s skin in sub-zero temperatures. When the plane descends to lower altitude, the warming air causes the mass to detach on a ballistic trajectory following the plane’s line of travel. Know the angle and speed, consult Sir Isaac Newton and find the likely culprit.
Or brown
SPACE PEANUT!!
That would be Blue Ice from a plane
More likely bluish.
An airliner flushed its tanks.
The college kids are on break.
The lavatory drains on pax jets are heated so when at altitude the temp is minus 50 degrees it will still release fluid. If the heating element fails a large frozen block of ice will form and when large enough the slipstream will break it off.
Damned global warming…first Alec Baldwin’s gun running amok, conspiring with a MAGA cartridge, and now, ice falling from the sky!
We need more Covid Quarantines!
Wow. So amazing. I’m speechless. Big story...
>>Dum-Da-Dum-Dum ... it came from outer space ...
That would be, It came from Dragnet.
