A few months back, there were scattered reports of balls of an unknown, frozen brown material falling on the Spanish countryside. The news features, usually headlined with the same pun I just used (or worse), speculated that it was frozen coprolite ejected from airplane lavatories. I’m mostly interested in knowing if they ever figured out what the stuff was. However, I’d like also like to know what the standard operating procedure the airlines really use to clean out their restroom tanks. I live along a flight path, and I’m uncomfortable thinking that it’s only by the grace of god that I haven’t yet been similarly bombarded.
No doubt, it’ll take the shit hitting the fan for the truth to really be known…
Yer pal,

I’ve seen the trucks at the airport that empty the latrines (and I guess they refill the tank of blue, too). It wouldn’t be too terribly surprising to find out that airliners have some kind of emergency purge available to the flight crew, but that part is speculation.
I know that there are places where the passenger trains let it go on the tracks.
Airliners do occasionally have leaks on the toilet tanks and depending on the condition, the leaking fluid accumulates in a chunk of ice which then falls to the ground. This has been ruled out as the cause of the chunks of ice falling in Spain - it’s the wrong color, and no microorganisms were found.
The ice is definitely terrestrial in origin, because the isotope ratios are identical to those on the earth. This leaves out the comet theory. So we are left with few choices. It could be a prank, or it can be an unknown meteorogical or aeronautical phenomenon.
That’s the summary of a couple of articles I found on the Net, anyway. Do a search on http://www.google.com/ for ‘ice, spain, sky’ and you’ll find a few. (I was going to post the links but Netscape crashed before I could hit Submit, and I don’t have time to find those links right now.)
Would it be too mundane to suggest that an abnormal cloud of dirt collided with a cloud in cold condition, making dirty ice balls?
I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.
Maybe the aliens had just finished anal probing a subject and… ?
For once you must try to face the facts: Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
