ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Alaska State Troopers see plenty of hazards, but Trooper Howard Peterson was nearly felled by a new one: falling moose. Peterson was driving Feb. 2 on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage when something big and black fell out of the sky about 20 feet in front of his patrol car. "Falling rock!" he thought, ready to steer clear if it bounced onto the highway.

I do believe that Chad Carpenter will be all over this sooner or later.

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Moose Hanging from Power Cables

the moose are either dropping off cliffs or hanging around in Alaska

Was this a joke? When I click on the link it says page not found. Or story not found or something.

Did it say what happened? Did it fall from a cliff or what?
