Pennsylvania (US):
The mystery of ‘blue ice’ in western Pennsylvania is ongoing.
Part of the mystery is that the ‘blue ice’ that has been reported is actually purple. KDKA’ David Highfield reported the purple splotches in the snow on Monday night. The report sparked phone calls and e-mails from several other people claiming to also have ‘blue ice’ in their yards
.The FAA doesn't have the people to investigate each claim, but they are investigating the original case in Butler County.
The question is whether or not the purple splotches could be blue ice. ‘Blue ice’ is toilet waste that leaks from airplanes.
The FAA says some suspicious spots in upstate New York turned out to the work of birds.“It's highly unlikely,” said Nicole Begley, of the National Aviary. “I don't want to speculate on what it was, but it would take a rather large flock of fruit eating birds.
