Tokyo (Japan):
A disc-shaped piece of ice of unknown origin plummeted from the sky onto a golf course near Tokyo Wednesday, narrowly missing players on the fairway but causing no injuries, police said. Authorities were investigating the bizarre incident, said Saitama prefectural (state) police spokesman Masahiko Kuwashima.
He said police investigators have asked the Transport Ministry to check a possibility that ice stuck on an airplane might have fallen.
But there is no airport in Saitama, and the golf course involved Wednesday is not known to be beneath a flight route, he said.
