10. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING A 30 lb. chunk of ice fell in Dalton, Mass. The area was surveyed by an ATIC investigator and there was no overhead object from which the ice could have fallen. The spatter pattern was a fairly even distribution over an area 25' x 25'. The ice was analyzed and described as porous, or like rime ice.
11. COMMENTS ATIC has arrived at no conclusion as to the origin of the ice. Future cases may indicate a pattern which will lead to a conclusion.
