It's raining poop in Canada - and no one knows the reason for this calamity!

If you're one of those people who just hates to rain, think it could be much, much worse! This is because, according to Madison Dapcevich of IFLScience !, in recent months, a rather unpleasant phenomenon has been reported in some locations in the province of British Columbia, Canada, and many people were caught off guard.

More specifically, there, instead of dropping conventional raindrops since the beginning of May, local residents have been complaining about droppings falling from the sky. According to witnesses, it's been raining poop in Canada - and it looks like it's human poop. At these times, there must be those who prefer to face acid rain to rain ...

Eww!

According to Madison, since May, there have been 17 occasions when it has rained poop in the province, and although officials have said they are extremely concerned about the unpleasant phenomenon, no one knows for sure what is causing the "storms." Reports range from people who come across cars or clothes on the clothesline covered in smelly droplets, to families who were hit while in the yard or strolling with the sunroof of their open cars.

The cases also took place in cities far from each other - some 3, 000 kilometers away - and are being investigated by the appropriate agencies. As we mentioned, the origin of the poop has not yet been determined, but one theory that is being considered is that the material is the infamous “blue ice”.

The so-called "blue ice, " if you've never heard of it, is nothing more than the droppings collected from aircraft toilets and stored in reservoirs on the planes themselves. This material is mixed with a liquid disinfectant and can only be collected after the aircraft is on the ground and ends up freezing at high altitudes.

However, sometimes leaks roll and, although material gets stuck to the valves or gets stuck in the fuselage, when airplanes begin landing maneuvers, the droppings can come off or thaw, flying from above and falling into fragments or drops. Interestingly, as its name suggests, “blue ice” is a bluish material - because of the disinfectant - and the rainfall recorded in Canada is not.

Possible culprits

The poor wretches who had been the target of this unpleasant "heavenly surprise" described the drops as being of liquid consistency, brown or greenish brown in color, and rather unpleasant smell. For another possible explanation is that instead of unwanted aircraft leaks, poop rain is the result of bird bombing.

Canada Geese ( Branta Canadians ) perform seasonal migrations and therefore they could be responsible for the rains. However, to do the damage described by some of the witnesses, the birds would have to form a very large group and coordinate the "shots" - which is not impossible, but needs to be proven to ensure that these birds are really the agents behind them. of the phenomenon.
