Narrative:

We are at a summer camp. A group of kids and counselors saw a light and heard an extremely loud sound for about 5 seconds and saw it hit a tree. When we went to investigate what had happened; there were pieces of ice the size of a soccer ball and other smaller pieces of ice around the area where the noise had been heard. We believe that it was a megacryometeor; and have put some pieces in our freezer to preserve it should further investigation be necessary.
