It would also crack like that when being frozen as a whole freezing from the outside-in as opposed to a large hailstone which freezes from the inside-out in layers. There are other pictures of ice from freezing a water balloon on the internet and they have similar interior stress-cracks. Large hail is not smooth. Hail has ice-layers. When you review a negative of this image it looks exactly like the shape of a balloon even more so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434819406898941181.post-30434843269731964222011-05-29T17:13:03.450-05:002011-05-29T17:13:03.450-05:00To me, I thought that there should be a picture of...To me, I thought that there should be a picture of a whole bunch of 'melon' size hail, on the ground. NOT One... Anyone can take a picture of one so called large piece of ice. It didn't ring true to me. It seemed that reporting should have done real reporting with some real facts. A story is a story, but I was disappointed in Drudge just to get a 'story' and put this article out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434819406898941181.post-48896894521547111372011-05-29T15:36:02.558-05:002011-05-29T15:36:02.558-05:00That's a frozen water balloon if I ever saw on...That's a frozen water balloon if I ever saw one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
