A listener alerted us to a mysterious green or yellow
substance that fell from the sky in Syracuse, New York over
the past few days. Syracuse television station WSTM has
carried out laboratory analysis and the substance has found
not to be a de-icing chemical falling from planes.
Our listener says, "They have been covering this story on TV
for the past three days. The local ?experts? insist that it?s bird
droppings. Yeah, from BIG BIRD. They showed video of these
houses on the evening news, and there?s no way that it?s bird
waste unless a huge flock of birds all relieved themselves at
the same time. We have a ton of snow here and these
houses have yellow-green icicles hanging off their roofs."
As of January 8, further tests carried out by the station
confirm that the substance is not bird droppings, as had been
theorized by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The New York State DEC is expected to release its test
results on the substance next week. The material is
concentrated in the flight path of Syracuse Hancock
International Airport.
