"I was waiting in line, getting my daily coffee…and all of a sudden
brown dropped onto my vehicle," Browne said. "It was like it rained
brown for a second, boom, like that. I got out and I went to the car in
front of me and I was like, 'What just happened to us?' And he was like,
'I have no idea.'"
"The odor was so strong that the woman who was handing me my coffee
noted how much it smelled," she said. "I mean, my cat had something
similar to it this morning, so I've had a lot today with the poop."

Pretty sure airplanes don't drop their sewage unless there is a malfunction.

What else would it be?  It didn't sound right, that it could be poop....but that certainly looks like poop in that picture.

I saw this on the local news the evening it happened. 

The first thing we thought of was that it was from a plane. I still think thats what happened. 

OTOH, we got lots of flocks of geese and ducks right now too.

Dunno, it could be I guess.  Or a large manure spreader was going top speed nearby.

A stinking mystery, where feces of an unknown origin rained down from the sky on a constituent's car, has U.S. Rep. Angie Craig seeking answers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).Carisa Browne was waiting at the drive-thru Monday at a Caribou Coffee in Burnsville with her 6-year-old son when she noticed gobs of brown, smelly liquid pelt her Honda Prelude.
"It was like the weight of heavy raindrops, but all at the same time, and my car was covered in brown," Browne said. "I was like, 'Oh my god, what just happened?'"
It didn't stop her from getting her coffee, but the employee noticed the bad smell, she said. Browne then took the car to the car wash. It didn't completely get rid of the rancid material, so she used paper towels to wipe off the rest.
Browne initially thought it was bird poop from a large flock, but after opening the window she realized the awful smell was more similar to human waste. She believes it had to fall from an airplane midway through its flight.
While Browne and her son were initially amused and tried to make the best of a putrid situation, she has been calling different airlines and the FAA herself, trying to make sure it doesn't happen to someone unprotected by a car.
"If my kid got hit with this, I wouldn't be giggling it off," she said. "I have to feel like this is a rare thing that happens, but also I'm going to push to figure out what really happened and get some things moving."
After seeing the initial story reported by WCCO-TV, Craig sent a letter to the FAA demanding to know what happened, who is responsible, and what is being done to stop leakage from planes.
"Considering the flight paths in the area, we have reason to suspect that it could have come from an aircraft mid-flight," Craig said in the letter directed to Billy Nolen, acting administrator of the FAA. "We know that waste contains potential enteric pathogens and can present risks to the environment and human health if not handled properly."
Craig sent Nolen a list of six questions to answer, including what measures are being put in place to prevent leakage of fecal matter mid-flight, and how many leaks have occurred since Browne's incident.
The FAA media line did not return an email request for comment Thursday.

Maybe the ground crew put Ex-Lax in the tank instead of jet fuel.

I've read where a passing tornado has scooped up a bunch of water and fish and dropped them as it dissipates,  any major storms in that area that day,  perhaps a city sewer lagoon got sucked up and dumped?

Most likely a plane,   but another theory to throw out.

The discharge from planes is called 'blue ice'.....they discharge this all the time over water when they can. Not sure that's what this is but it could be.

Great Hunter Thompson story about a plane, a Rolex, lavatory 1B, a stained blue arm and a flustered flight crew. "The Curse of LONO"
