ball<br>
<br>
</font></b><font color="#000000">MADRID, Jan 12 (Reuters) - A Spanish man
narrowly escaped injury when a four-kg (nine-pound) ball of ice --
thought to be frozen human excrement ejected from a passing aircraft --
fell on his car near the southern city of Seville, authorities said.
<br>
The man was about to enter the vehicle when a friend stopped him for a
chat. The ball of ice, measuring 20 centimetres (eight inches) in
diameter, then plummeted out of a cloudless sky and crushed the car's
bonnet. <br>
An official at Spain's Meteorology Institute said investigators were
examining a fragment of the iceball which was collected by police at the
scene. <br>
