Default Strange Ice Objects

I have been contacted by a friend of mine living in Stainmore 1400ft up in
the Cumbrian Pennines. This morning he has found some ice chards in his
garden and would like to know where they may have come from. He lives in a
remote area, there are no wires or any tall structures for miles around. I
thought it may be either rime falling off something or from an aircraft ?

Any thoughts

.... no thoughts as yet, but need a bit more information:

1. Are these objects /only/ in the garden, or are they found in a wider
area?

2. Can you confirm that he /found/ these 'shards', and didn't *observe*
them falling.

3. Any information on temperature, humidity, cloud cover, wind speeds etc?

4. Any chance of posting (or pointing to) a 'wider-area' photograph so
we can get a better understanding of the general 'lie of the land' and
proximity to buildings etc.

Martin.
