Comet Debris, Not Excrement, Rains on Spain

MADRID (Reuters) - At least ten melon-sized ice balls that have slammed into Spain in the last
week are probably debris from comets, not human excrement as first suspected, a Spanish
scientist said Monday.

Enrique Martinez, head of a team at the Higher Council of Scientific Investigation studying the
phenomenon, said it was first thought that the ice balls were human excrement ejected from
high-flying aircraft.

``But they lack the typical coloring and texture we find in those cases,' he said.
A man in southern Spain escaped injury last week when an ice ball eight inches across
weighing nine pounds smashed into his car.
A further nine ice balls have since been reported around Spain over the last week.
