http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megacryometeor

A megacryometeor is a very large chunk of ice, which, despite sharing many textural, hydro-chemical and isotopic features detected in large hailstones, are formed under unusual atmospheric conditions which clearly differ from those of the cumulonimbus clouds scenario (i.e. clear-sky conditions). They are sometimes called huge hailstones, but do not need to form in thunderstorms. Jesus Martinez-Frias, a planetary geologist of the Center for Astrobiology in Madrid, pioneered research on megacryometeors in January 2000, after ice chunks weighing up to 6.6 pounds rained on Spain out of cloudless skies for 10 days.

More than 50 megacryometeors have been recorded since the year 2000. They vary in size between 0.5 kg to over 200 kg. One was measured in Brazil as 220 kg.[1]

While I am waiting for a link on Bloomberg or through Reuters. I did some research for those that do not think shit like this can actually happen.

Over the past decade, over fifty such objects have been recorded worldwide. Some have been as small as about one pound, but one monstrous mass of ice that fell in Brazil weighed about 400 pounds– almost a quarter of a ton– and crashed through the roof of a Mercedes-Benz factory. One recently made headlines in Oakland, California, weighing over 200 pounds and creating a dent in the Earth three feet deep. A similar event occurred in Chicago last February, crashing through the roof of a house.

My car got 12-14 dents from a rough hail storm that hit North Austin area. Luckily, I have global warming insurance with no deductible!

I believe this can happen, however I have a hard time believing the story considering you claim it happened 1.5 hours ago, and nothing is coming up through any news searches.

I know its fucking pissing me off. I want some props for the scoop. I am starting to get scared that the mainline news isn't thinking this is news worthy. It is starting to look like it may very well be local news only, and that is frustrating. I obviously cannot read Japanese. I hope some Japanese users are going to be able to back this up.

Excellent OP Dodece.

This is the level of content quality I have come to expect in all your posts.

I seem to recall Dodece fabricated another good one last year.

s*it the cell attracts aliens !!!!
