Yeah I didn't see the picture, but I would guess if it didn't come out of the sky, it had to come from a fairly close distance, like a few hundred feet. for a mechanical launch it would lose velocity and trajectory so quickly it couldn't be from very far away.

I see the picture now, If it's Plymouth Mass, then it very well could be a tub grinder involved. We had that crazy tree damaging storm here in New England in October and every town had mountains of debris piled up. Fema has been helping collect it and the huge tub grinders have been making the rounds from town to town.

Could of been a piece of cylinder rod got mixed in with the wood being ground up, and got launched. I still don't think the ballistics could of allowed it to travel very far.

since it happened over the weekend, I wonder if there was any close work.

I also wonder if they looked at the hole inthe roof exterior, took into account the building materials, and projectile mass, and thus decided what it's velocity was to penetrate.

Maybe it came from a Punkin' Chunkin' contraption.

Ya beat me to it!! One of those trebuchet models self destructed? Those things could launch a piece of metal like that a couple thousand feet!!

X2 on the tub grinder. If you look at the Google satellite photo of the store, there is a permanent tub grinder installation across the street, like ~ 200FT!!. Sherlock Holmes would be slapping Dr. Watson and the Plymouth PD.

I dont know if I would trust those local cops to protect me if they couldnt figure that one out. "Fell from the sky, must be an airplane" when there is equipment right next to it that could easily be the culprit!!! Good grief Charlie Brown.
