Police Eye Texas Man's Theory On Mystery Metal Chunk That Hit Plymouth Business

PLYMOUTH (CBS)- A Texas man may have solved the mystery of a metal object that crashed through the ceiling of a Plymouth warehouse on Thursday.

Danny Dossman, of Belton, Texas says about 6 months ago, the exact same thing happened at his family funeral home.

Dossman has the pictures to prove it.

He saw our story online and called our newsroom.

"As soon as I saw the piece of metal, it looked so similar to the piece of metal that we had found, I knew it had to be related," he told WBZ-TV's Jim Armstrong.

In his case, a chunk of metal flew out of a broken tree grinder at a nearby construction site.

In the Texas case, the object flew some 800 yards. That means any grinding equipment in the entire industrial park in Plymouth could be to blame.

Plymouth police have asked WBZ-TV to forward them Dossman's pictures so investigators can have a look.

Of course, we'll keep you posted.
