Mysterious Ice Chunk Breaks Hole in Roof
New Channel 5 (Tennessee)
December 29, 2005

A mysterious object fell from the sky just outside of Springfield, in
Robertson County Wednesday creating a hole in the roof of a barn.

Johnny Marlin says two employees were cutting tobacco in this barn
beside his home when suddenly, they heard an explosion.

A five pound chunk of ice fell through the roof of the barn. Marlin
believes it fell from a passing plane overhead.

"I called Lelan Statom, and said can you explain this one? He guessed
airplane too," said Marlin.

Marlin says luckily no one was hurt, but he's keeping the ice-chunk as a
keepsake.
