Ice Falls from the Sky - Episode 270
Manage episode 482725204 series 2577088
A 200-pound chunk of ice came crashing through the roof of a house in February. What was the source?
Todd Curtis, Greg Feith, and John Goglia analyze an unusual event involving a large chunk of ice from the sky. The ice fell out of a clear sky and crashed through the metal roof of a home in Florida.
After an investigation, the FAA found no evidence that a plane was the source of the ice. Chemical analysis showed that the ice was not contaminated with chemicals that may have come from an airplane's lavatory.
Twelve to 15 ice fall events occur annually. Since 2000, 78 of these events had no identified origin.
Was it an icy meteorite? Space debris? Someone in the local area launching it with a catapult? The detectives explore these and other possibilities.
This event fits into the category of a UAP, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, that is possibly from unknown or unrecognized natural phenomena.
Bonus: Hear Greg’s review of the Mark Wahlberg movie "Flight Risk."
