You'll have to excuse the people of West Pittston, Pa., for feeling dumped on and a little crappy right about now. This, because some town's folk awoke Monday to find toilet paper and plastic littering their yards in Luzerne County.

Now, no less than the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether the debris came from a plane passing overhead.

WNEP-TV reports that debris fell onto several properties, including that of Tori Viccica, whose freshly mulched yard was turned into a landfill by the trash and toilet paper.

"I'd like to know what happened, how it happened, and I'd like to see it cleaned up," Viccica told WNEP.

"I just thought it was crazy, actually, cause you don't always wake up and see toilet paper in your trees," Viccica added.

"That's nuts! I mean, a plane drops stuff out of the sky and onto a yard? That's crazy! I never seen something like that before," said Michael Reiher, who lives in West Pittston.
