Paul and Sabrina Gomez were shocked when a huge chunk of ice fell from the sky and smashed through their roof in New Jersey. On the night of June 12, they were sitting in their backyard. The couple suddenly heard a loud crash and soon discovered their house had a gaping hole. Their security camera captured the sound of the crash, adding to the surreal experience.

Airplane biowaste, which consists of disinfectant and waste from airplane bathrooms, might have been the culprit. Usually, this waste is stored in tanks on the plane and emptied after landing. However, sometimes, it leaks and freezes at high altitudes, forming large, er, “poopsicles” that can fall during the plane’s descent.

“Out of nowhere we heard a hollow coming down, but we didn’t think anything of it, but out of nowhere just a big smash,” Sabrina Gomez told ABC 7.

Ice chunks punctured their roof and landed in their neighbor’s driveway. The ice caused significant destruction. It went through the ceiling and the floor of the top level, damaging walls and insulation along the way. Their house sits near a flight path. They hear airplanes every night, but Sabrina never imagined something like this could happen.

The family plans to stay in their house and file a claim with the FAA, hoping to get reimbursed for the repair costs.

In April, we reported on “space trash” that also crashed through a Florida home. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but a 19-year-old was in a neighboring room. As time passes and air and space travel perhaps become more and more common, keep in mind that random falling debris is a possible side effect.
