Neighbors Report Goo On Sidewalks, Patios, Sidings

Residents of Menasha, WI say they were dumped on last week... literally. Possibly by an airplane.

Police Lt. Mike Krueger said some residents along one street called police Friday afternoon after observing many suspicious spots and clumps on siding, sidewalks and patios to their homes.

The houses are directly under a flight path for the Outagamie County Regional Airport (ATW) near Appleton. Some homes had stains that were difficult, if not impossible, to remove, according to the Appleton Post-Crescent.

"It looks like somebody released the holding tank for their septic and that fluid was dropped through that section of neighborhood and it stains," Krueger said.

This is not the first time signs of goo were reported from an unknown source.

Krueger recalled that a similar incident occurred on the town's east side more than five years earlier.

The officer, who first responded November 16, wrote a similar report the day before for a home at 1427 Fatima St. on the east side.

Residents to the west contacted the airport Friday afternoon. Airport and airline officials "denied it was one of their planes," according to police there.

"Something definitely got sprayed all over," said westside resident Kate McQuillan.
