(meteorobs) ice in spain



Title: ice in spain
Hi,

Copied from Cnn.com's site:

"In the past, falling blocks of ice have proven to be waste flushed out of
passenger jets or pieces of comet tails.
But Martinez said the current
giant hail lacks the coloration of jet waste. And the chunks are too
scattered and infrequent to have likely come from a comet.

Martinez said the balls should have been large enough while plummeting
through the atmosphere to register on radar screens.
Scientists promised to shed some light on the mystery later in the week.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report."

This is new to me...
