A woman says her car was left spattered in poo as she and her son sat in it at a red light – but nobody has offered an explanation for it.

Susan Allan, from Kelowna, in British Columbia, was driving home with her sun roof open when she says excrement ‘fell from the sky’.

The substance ‘felt cold, smelt like chlorine and poo and was a blue-brown colour’ she said.


‘I’m telling you: When this hit our vehicle, there was so much that it felt like a whole pile of mud falling from the sky,’ she told Vice.

‘You could see it hitting the vehicle. And when it was hitting our faces, the first thing my son said to me was that it felt freezing cold and that it smelled like – pardon the pun – shit.’

‘My son threw up, and we had so much in our faces, our faces were covered in poop.’



A subsequent visit to the doctor revealed she contracted conjunctivitis in both eyes as a result of the unfortunate accident.

Oddly, this is not the first time that reports of poo raining down on innocent people have emerged.

Three days after Susan’s ordeal, another man in the same town reported his car being covered in the falling faeces.

And Transport Canada, the government department that oversees federal transportation policy and regulations, said it had 18 reports of people and cars being hit by flying sewage.

It has investigated all of them, it added, but has not offered any answers as to why the incidents keep happening.

There are theories behind the mysterious poo-projectiles, but nobody has been able to confirm or deny them.

One theory is that the falling substance is coming from flying airplanes overhead, and that malfunctioning valves are causing sewage, known as ‘blue-ice’ to leak out and freeze to the aircraft when it is flying at high altitudes.

This then melts and falls to the ground – hitting unfortunate people below.

Susan reportedly wants her car to be cleaned by Transport Canada because it still smells like poo and reportedly said she believes it is a ‘cover-up’ by the government.
