truman Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Just like water really with a bit of gritty stuff in it. ---------- Post added 29-10-2015 at 13:40 ---------- Don't think so - it looks too watery. Also if it had salt in it wouldn't that make it thaw faster? It's the 7 week thing that's baffling me as much as the identification. There's still a bit left so will try and get photo up-loaded (when kids are around to do it!) It'd only thaw if it was frozen.... I doubt it is..

lazarus Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Planes don't 'eject' toilet waste - the waste is sucked into a holding tank by vacuum where it stays until the plane lands. It cannot deliberately be dumped out during flight, and a leak is apparently unlikely as it would require multiple part failures to happen. Ice can sometimes drop off the outside of planes though. It's quite obvious you haven't read the papers this week with a similar object being found AND that was the explanation with the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 It's quite obvious you haven't read the papers this week with a similar object being found AND that was the explanation with the report. Frozen SOOOO cold that it didn't melt for 8 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'll be very interested to see the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) It's quite obvious you haven't read the papers this week with a similar object being found AND that was the explanation with the report. Obviously not! Where's the article? Note also that I said unlikely, not impossible. The other reason it was very unlikely is that frozen pee clearly doesn't take 7 weeks to melt!! I'd say the salt lick explanation is the most likely so far. Edit - Do you mean this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3287869/Now-s-really-taking-p-Frozen-ball-urine-excrement-smashes-retired-couple-s-roof-falling-jumbo-jet-toilet.html I'm missing the bit where it was actually confirmed to be toilet waste? It's more likely to be ice build up from the outside of the plane. Edited October 29, 2015 by vwkittie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Does it look anything like this stuff? - http://84salt.com/Salt-Licks-Bricks.html Is that like homeopathy for farm animals? it tastes great and leaves a healthy energetic imprint in animals as well as humans. wtf?

RootsBooster Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have a problem which must be solved before I go mad!!! When out walking in Derbyshire 7 weeks ago we came across a lump of orange/pink tinted clear rock just off the path - similar to quartz - about A4 size. As I like to collect unusual rocks, horseshoes, shells etc to put on the side of our pond we decided to lug it home! I noticed it always appeared wet and even joked it appeared to be 'melting'. Fast forward 5 or 6 weeks and hubby said to me that it appeared to be half its original size. I suggested we poured boiling water on it to test his theory - lo and behold it started to melt and has now - after nearly 8 weeks almost disappeared!!! We can't understand how this has happened - people have suggested it's raw sewage dropped off a plane - it's definitely the right colour but why has it taken 7 weeks to defrost in mild weather? Does anybody have any theories? Surely if it was frozen sewage it would have melted quickly when in earth's atmosphere? Be grateful for any (sensible!) suggestions:confused: At first I thought it may have been a Frost Giant's egg that you had taken. You should never do this, it can take between 2 - 8 weeks for a Frost Giant to find a location with suitable topographical, seismological and astrological qualities. If it is a Frost Giant egg, I doubt it will ever mature now. Other explanations could include the contents of a rusty freezer being dumped out or indeed (as Orzel said earlier) a home-made attempt at Pykrete. Does it actually feel cold to the touch?

geared Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm missing the bit where it was actually confirmed to be toilet waste? It's more likely to be ice build up from the outside of the plane. It's usually coloured if it's come out of the planes toilet system isn't it? Like kinda blue/green?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
