Without question, according to Star-Telegram readers knowledgeable about wood chippers.
They're convinced that a metal chunk that punched a hole through a roof Tuesday in southeast Dallas was a broken-off bit or "hammer tip" from a grinder or chipper.
"There must be a mulching operation very nearby," wrote Roger in an e-mail.
But Michael, also by e-mail, stated that there "happens to be a place that mulches trees right behind the neighborhood that your chunk of metal landed in. Guess it isn't space debris after all."
The tipsters were among several people who saw pictures of the metallic loaf in the media and immediately recognized it.
Dallas police could not be reached for comment Thursday morning, but other media have reported that officers visited the tree-grinding operation and confirmed the story.
