A family in south Florida is searching for answers after waking early Saturday to a loud noise accompanied by about 15 pounds of Italian pork sausage.

Deerfield Beach resident Austin Adair said his family and dogs were startled awake about 4 a.m. to an "extremely loud" thud on the roof. They went outside to check out the noise, but couldn't find anything.

Adair's mother later found two packages of Italian sausage in the side yard outside the house. Upon inspecting the roof, they found three more packages, all in bags marked William Land Service.

The family googled William Land Service and the first business to pop up was a land clearing business in North Alabama. They gave the Somerville company a call, hoping to learn more about the mystery meat.

"He basically said, 'I have no idea where that came from,'" said Adair, who sent pictures of the sausage to the business owner. "I think he thought I was a little bit crazy."

Adair soon contacted his local TV station, who ran a story on the unusual finding early this week. Since the news broke in Florida, Adair has been contacted by multiple media outlets and will appear tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Donnie Williams owns Williams Land Service with his wife, Garnet. The 7-year-old company provides forestry mulching, selective tree thinning and tree stump grinding to parts of north and central Alabama and southern Tennessee.

Williams has talked with nearly a dozen news agencies about the story, but said he still doesn't know why the sausages were dropped on the Adair home or why his company's name is on the packaging.

"We have a land clearing business and so far we haven't gotten into the sausage making business," he said. "My friends and all have had a lot of fun with me on this."

The Adairs still don't know what happened, but have received lots of theories from people online.

The most basic theory is it was a drone delivery, while the craziest came from people asking if it was really sausage or a ground-up human body ditched from a plane.

"I'm completely baffled," Adair said. "I don't have any clear thoughts about how odd it is and I'm kind of blown away by how big it's gotten."
