Petaluma (CA) police are trying to track down the owner of a camera lens that apparently fell from the sky earlier this month, damaging a local family’s home.
Debbie Payne, 55, said she found the Canon 24-105mm zoom lens outside of her home on Friday, Sept. 2, after hearing a loud crash that shook the two-story house, left a hole in her roof and sliced through two window screens.
She said the noise was loud enough to startle her next-door neighbor, who quickly spotted a piece of the camera lens next to a truck parked in his driveway.
Officers are now tracking the lens’ serial number and working with the Petaluma Airport and the Federal Aviation Administration to determine whether the part may have fallen from a plane.
Payne said she didn’t see any aircraft near her home at the time of the incident. “It would have killed someone, had there been someone underneath the lens,” she said.
