A mysterious ice ball appeared in the Czech Republic recently without any explanation. This giant hailstone measures two meters in diameter. That's a whopping 6 1/2 feet. A witness was able to document this unusual sight on video and post it to the popular video sharing site YouTube on Thursday, July 21, 2011.

The unidentified frozen object appears to be lying in the middle of a dirt road or path that winds through the trees. It isn't perfectly spherical, but it's close. You can see horizontal and vertical lines carved or etched into the massive block of ice. It seems that the frozen sphere could even be composed of many individual blocks of ice, but it's impossible to tell for certain.

The ground around the object is muddy, and you can even see puddles of water on the dirt road. However, there isn't a sign of snow or ice other than the icy object lying on the ground.

The description that accompanies this video in YouTube is in the Czech language. It reads: "V Milovicích se objevila ledová koule o pr?m?ru 2 metry. Záhadou je jak se tam dostala. Zde je video jako d?kaz GPS: 50°15'37.594″N, 14°54'55.249″E"

This roughly translates into English as: "In Milovice appeared ice ball with a diameter of 2 meters. The mystery is how it got there. Here is a video as evidence GPS: 50 ° 15'37 .594 "N, 14 ° 54'55 .249″ E"
