Troy Halte and his family came home Thursday night around 6 p.m. from their daughter's ballet practice and weren't prepared for what they saw.

"I tucked my ballet shoes under my bed," 8-year-old Breez Halte said. "Then I saw a big hole in the ceiling. I turned the light on immediately... and ran out and got my dad."

Her dad Troy added: "My daughter went into her room to put her things away and came out quickly and said 'Dad, there's something silver hanging over my bed.' "

That "something silver" was insulation. There was indeed a huge hole in the ceiling, and on her bed were grapefruit-sized ice balls.

"There was insulation all over the bed," Breeze said. "It was just, huge...I thought it was a meteor from outer space," Breez added.

The family is keeping the ice in the freezer as a memento of what happened.

Meanwhile, the event has had an impact on the sleeping arrangements. Breeze doesn't even like going in her room anymore.

"She was frightened last night," her mom Rachel said. "She didn't want to come and get her pajamas out of her dresser and she slept in her brother's room (Thursday) night and then she came into our room last night scared that it might happen again."

Troy Halte climbed up on the roof to see what damage the ice caused up there.

"I climbed up on the roof and noticed that there was one very large hole and must have busted whatever it was up on impact," he said.

He called the FAA, and an investigator dropped by to survey the damage and see if it could be "blue ice." Blue ice occasionally falls from planes with leaking toilet, but the ice that hit the house is clear. One possibility is a build-up of ice on an airplane wing. The FAA will investigate.

In the meantime, Troy has his own theories.

"It seems to me as cold as it's been up there (in the sky), could have been rain or something," he said. "I don't know, I'm not a meteorologist. I'll leave that to Steve Pool."
