A fat chunk of metal crashed into a Seattle family's home Sunday out of the clear blue.
Sky, that is. The three-pound piece of lead smashed clear through the roof and left a shoe box-sized hole in their ceiling.

A responding officer inspected the hole and decided one of two things happened.
Either the rectangular hunk of lead fell off an aircraft or, the officer said, 'a really big bird that had stolen a lead bar.'
However, the FAA has nixed the first possibility.

'After examining the part, investigators have concluded that this object did not come from an aircraft,' the FAA's Allen Kenitzer said.
---
King 5 News reports that viewers in Seattle responded to the story and many seemed to believe the bar is a wood chipper tooth.
While someone is grinding wood and tree stumps, they said, it's possible for a 'tooth' to fly out along with the wood chips.
