ANOTHER FROZEN POND ICE HOLE MYSTERY

An Iowa couple is looking for help trying to identify something that fell from the sky and onto their land over the weekend. It happened sometime late Friday night or early Saturday just south of Knoxville in Marion County.

"Whatever it was it hit hard enough to throw water out of that in a big round circle," says Denny Straube.

On Saturday morning, Straube saw three holes in the ice on his pond. The biggest was about three feet across. From his dining room that morning, Denny quickly noticed something different. The impact of the mystery object of objects left several 15 foot cracks running from the hole and about three inches of displaced water on top of the ice.

"Did someone lose something off an airplane? Was there a meteor shower that night?" Denny Straube wonders.

"Maybe God's mad and throwing snowballs at us," Terry Straube says.

Whatever fell from the sky this weekend, it's under six feet of ice and water. The Straube's hope someone volunteers to scuba dive in their pond this summer to find out. According to the British National Space Center, about ten thousand football size meteorites hit the earth each year.
