I did have it sussed, but did not want to come over as a clever know it all sort of guy.

This damage was obviously caused by a fairly round bit of poo flushed from a 747 flying at 32,321 feet with an air temperature of 62 below zero. That's about -52C for those of your across the pond and colder than a witch's #&% for those of you in Montana. The original diameter of the poo was 1.5 in but grew to 2.25 in as ice crystals formed around it during the decent but then as it got closer to earth and the temperatures warmed up it thawed slightly and shrunk back to 1.9" at the time of impact. Still partially frozen it did not leave a smudge but bounced off where it was mistaken for a popsicle by a passing tan and black long nosed beagle with allergies, thereby eliminating all of the evidence.
I wouldn't expect a newbie to figure it out right away but you guys who have been around for awhile should be ashamed of yourselves. Screenman, surely you knew!
Luckily that one will be easy to repair!
