From Out Of The Sky Came A Moose!
February 13, 2008
Alaska state trooper Howard Peterson thought the sky was falling when a large black object came out of the sky and hit the highway only about 20 feet in front of his cruiser. It was a moose.
My brother, who lives in Anchorage, sent me an email last night making wise cracks about the moose event, so I began to look around and found a short Associated Press article about the event.
Peterson said the moose fell from the cliffs above the highway some 150 feet. No one is sure what happened. It could have been the wind, ice, snow…..do moose have bits of depression and commit suicide? Maybe the global warming outlook was getting to him.
These particular cliffs, my brother says, are commonplace to spot Dall sheep but not moose.

That would freak me out. I can’t imagine driving down the road and having a moose fall from the sky in front of me. Did the trooper crash his car?
This is amazing! I would have thought “The hunting Gods aren’t speaking to me, are they?”
