A phenomenon that has been witnessed before yet science is at a lose to understand its true origins, for the cumulonimbus cloud is not capable of generating such a deposit from our skies.

It would then lead one to believe that there's a deficiency in the the Meteorological world, something maybe that should be understood especially as Earth's atmosphere is becoming increasingly energised and unpredictable.

Winternights3 I have seen this phenomenon personally. It was a clear sunny day on the prairie and I was walking back to my office (pre-pandemic) from lunch. Probably around 25C in temp, sunny and not overcast.

I was in a parking lot behind the building (3 stories) when 10 meters in front of me, a chunk of ice the size of a large grapefruit smashed on the ground... it was travelling at a high velocity and smashed into a billion pieces. There were no tall buildings around or any way someone could have thrown it out of a window or anything. I have no idea where the ice ball came from. It was really something to see.

ScottyFishman A clear sky with warm temperatures would suggest high pressure was in operation, this strangely enough exerts a force down to ground.

Whilst I might not be able to give an adequate answer, I'd would allow myself to believe that this ice that fell to ground wasn't manufactured directly overhead and could have travelled through the atmosphere to such a point where it reaches the centre of a high pressure system, hence losing its those forces that kept it growing and afloat, then decended to ground suddenly.

Chunk of ice falling off a plane/Drone from really high up....

The explosion/sound doesn't make much sense unless some associated ice debris hit surrounding metal roofs around the same time.
