Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are asking questions like – where did this 12-pound piece of ice come from? How was it formed?
They’re examining the thing that crashed through the roof of a home in Elk Mound that month to find out just what is inside it. No one really knows where it came from. The team says it might have formed in the upper atmosphere.
The scientific name for this is called a megacryometeor.
