If it鈥檚 not poop falling from the sky, it鈥檚 used needles.
Vernon resident, Jeremy Poettcker posted to a local 鈥榬ant and rave鈥� Facebook group that he was walking in the downtown when a syringe fell from above and landed at his feet.
Unlike the recent stories from the neighbouring City of 91大黄鸭 where feces is alleged to have fell from the sky and splashed onto cars with no explanation of where it came from, it appears there is a place to point the finger this time 鈥� a bird.

Poettcker said it took a minute to figure out where the needle came from, but after looking up it appears the culprit was a bird.
鈥淚 really hope I never hear about someone getting pricked from a falling needle,鈥� he wrote online.
Residents of Vernon have recently expressed concern with the abundance of improperly discarded needles in the community.
A group called the Polson Avengers is working to clean up city parks and community spaces, after calling the certain areas disasters.
As for the more than 10 reports of feces falling from the sky, Transport Canada says it is not from a plane. The department had been investigating reports last month of frozen lavatory waste, called 鈥渂lue ice,鈥� possibly falling from planes in 91大黄鸭 and Abbotsford.
It said in a statement that staff have reviewed details provided by the public, assessed local radar data and followed up with aircraft operators and local airports to conclude that the substance did not come from passing planes.
