The FAA says a 5-pound metal cylinder that came crashing through the roof of a Massachusetts warehouse is not a plane part, but otherwise has no idea why the item dropped from the sky.
The cylinder plunged into a storage closet at Michael’s Warehouse in an industrial park in Plymouth, Mass., apparently Wednesday, the Patriot-Ledger reports.
Fox 25 News in Boston notes that the roof is made of sheet-metal, indicating that the cylinder had to be traveling at a high rate of speed to penetrate the building. No one was hurt.
An FAA spokeswoman says the chunk probably came from a piece of heavy machinery, possibly a wood chipper, the Associated Press reports.
WHDH-TV in Boston quotes the FAA as saying there have been no flight paths over the building.
Thanks to Dr. WRP for bringing this to the attention of the It’s Interesting community.
It's Interesting 
It probably came from the gravel, excavating, earth moving site just south of the warehouse. Large cranes have a ball with a anchor lifting eye pin …..which looks very similiar to this piece. This is just some sensationalist bull crap ………..fluff news………
