It seems Chicken Little may have been right, after all.
Last week, I was watching a show on the Discovery Channel. It basically talked of a number of strange phenomena or news accounts and one segment in particular caught my attention. That particular segment was about megacryometeors.
Megacryometeors are large chunks of ice that randomly fall out of the sky. It is not known where they come from (for certain) or why they fall at random. What is known is that they can fall anywhere at any time and cause a considerable amount of damage. Even more strange is the fact that they tend to fall from clear skies, rather than during stormy weather.
A megacryometeor can also range greatly in size. Some weigh a mere 6 pounds. Others have tipped the scales at over 400 pounds. They have crashed through homes, totaled cars, and even left small craters in the ground. Some people have even been hit in the head by these random, falling chunks of sky ice, but surprisingly, the impact didn't kill any of them (that I know of).
