BRIGANTINE, N.J. -- A large block of ice believed to have been discarded by an airplane fell thousands of feet onto the lawn of a Brigantine residence this weekend.

The ice cube, measured at about two feet all the way around, made a foot-deep crater when it came down Saturday.

The unidentified homeowner notified authorities, who believe the ice chunk fell from the holding tank of an airplane flying overhead.

Brigantine police sought help from the Federal Aviation Administration to identify which airplane the ice chunk fell from. But there were too many flights in the area at the time the ice fell to make that determination.

Do they mean believe, as in I "Believe" in Evolution or I "Believe" the sun will rise in the morning?

If a port-a-potty landed in Jersey, would anyone notice it?

Maybe some Believe the Ice came from a UFO or Karl Rove's Weather Machine.

Too many flights at the time? Direction, altitude, and speed of those planes should serve to narrow the list, no?

Once Al Whore gets ahold of this I'm sure it will turn into a "Global Warming" warning that this is a sign glaciers are advancing.
