Two Valley Stream homeowners were awoken early Sunday morning by a loud noise coming from their roofs, where each was surprised to find a large hole.
“It’s a very huge hole,” Ann Grace, one of the homeowners, told CBS New York. “It did a lot of damage through heavy wood. I can’t imagine if it hit a person.”
The debris was first believed to be a substance known as “blue ice,” a combination of feces and blue disinfectant that can sometimes be accidentally discharged from an airplane mid flight and frozen at high altitudes.
But The Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said that upon investigation, the FAA determined that the debris was not blue ice.
According to the evidence that investigators found at the scene, it is currently inconclusive what the debris might have been, she said.
The incident is similar to reports of “black sludge” falling from the sky last February in Malverne.
Salac added that after checking with flight records, the FAA concluded that there were no planes flying over the homes at that time and therefore the falling debris could not have come from an aircraft.
