Aug. 31 (UPI) -- A large chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a California couple's home and they said authorities have thus far not been able to tell them where it came from.
Jon LeClair said he was working outside near his truck about 10:30 p.m. Aug. 8 when the ice chunk crashed through the roof of his Big Bear house and landed in the attic.
"It was almost like a sonic boom. It was huge," he told KABC-TV. "My wife came out and she thinks somebody's breaking into the house. I said I don't think so; it was like a cannon shot."
LeClair and his wife, Renae, soon discovered there was a 24-inch diameter hole in their roof and a bowling ball-sized piece of ice in their attic.
LeClair said he initially suspected it was a piece of a meteorite, but he now suspects it may have fallen from a plane.
"I'm thinking plane, but it's so warm, how can that happen? I know it's 40,000 feet up, but we're pretty warm down here. I don't know," he said.
The couple said they haven't been able to reach the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board said the ice chunk does not fall under their purview.
"I filed a report with the sheriff's department and they're just scratching their heads," LeClair said.
Ice balls that fall from airplanes are known as megacryometeors and have been known to impact the ground several times a year. A suspected megacryometeor left a sizable dent in a green at the Belvoir Park Golf Club in Victoria, Australia, on Aug. 15.
DO NOT MAKE SNO-CONES WITH IT!....................
The really have a name? “megacryometeors”
Why not just “bigcoldiceball”?
Of course, the could use “megacryptometeors” since nobody ever knows where they came from.
Just beware where the Huskies go,
And don’t you eat that yellow snow...
How fortunate for the homeowner! An elite’s plane dropped its black tank load over his house. Was Oprah’s plane on its way to Hawaii?
Very likely, ‘droppings’ from a plane.
It’s how that song was created...
“Poop, there it is,
Poop, there it is”
>> And don’t you eat that yellow snow...
Alien pee is green. Not sure how I know that, I just do.
Is it pea green?
Happened at Trenton Mercer County airport when I worked there in my early 20’s. My friend was fueling a C-99 (larger Kin Air) when the wing exploded. He thought he was dead. Turns out a chunk of ice fell off of an airliner at high altitude over flying the airport..
What are the odds of that ice leaving and airplane and hitting an airport let alone another airplane??!!
Any, probably blue water from the bathroom
>> Was Oprah’s plane on its way to Hawaii?
An Oprah stool would have left a hole two or three times that size.
LOL, yeah kinda pea green.
That durn Global Warming !!!!!!
Does Dave Matthews own a jet?
“”I’m thinking plane...”
Is it blue? If so, it’s a Scheissecicle.

Yep, only a little frozen water 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
