Weather of Arabia - The saying “it rains cats and dogs” may be true, as there are real incidents related to unusual things falling from the sky as a result of scientific or logical phenomena, and among the strangest things that have fallen from the sky throughout history:

The phenomenon of fish falling

Scenes of fish falling from the sky can be explained scientifically, as stormy conditions in coastal areas caused the formation of oppressive hurricanes, which in turn lifted marine organisms from the oceans and lakes, and carried them into the air before throwing them to the ground. This phenomenon has been observed in many countries such as Sri Lanka, Australia and Mexico. .

Falling coffee ingredients

In 1969 , vents at a Cremora creamery in South Carolina caused coffee powder to leak into the air and mix with falling rain, resulting in the company being fined for the incident.

The phenomenon of falling spiders

Australia in 2015 and Brazil in 2019 witnessed strange incidents related to spiders falling from the sky, and the reason for this is a process called “ballooning” in which spiders release threads that help them move through air currents to new locations.

Blood or blood-like fluid

The Spanish city of Samora witnessed real blood-colored rain. This red liquid that descended from the sky raised questions from the residents of Samora, as it closely resembled blood. The city’s residents were astonished about the source of this strange phenomenon. It turned out that the red rain came from a type of microalgae. Scientists believe that the spores of this algae ascended to the rain clouds. The striking aspect in this context is that this type of microalgae is not usually found in that Spanish region, which raises scientists’ questions about how it reached the sky.

Golf balls

As for golf balls , warnings were heard of thunderstorms carrying hail the size of golf balls, but the matter took a strange turn when real golf balls fell from the sky in Punta Gorda, Florida, during the year 1969. What is even more surprising is that the golf courses in that area denied... Missing any of her balls, and although the cause has not been fully explained, it is believed by most experts that a water tower absorbed golf balls improperly shot by players.

Money

Throughout the ages, the world has witnessed many strange cases when money fell from the sky. For example, in 2015, Kuwait City saw hundreds of thousands of Emirati dirhams rain down, and the source of this sudden wealth was not recognized by residents or authorities.

In 2018, a strange incident occurred when a plane carrying large quantities of gold and diamonds dropped some of its cargo on the runway of an airport in Serbia.

In the United States, Indianapolis witnessed a similar incident in 2017, where an electrician noticed $200 banknotes falling from the ceiling of the place where he was working, but the source of this wealth remained unknown.

Frogs

In addition, frogs are also one of the victims of strange phenomena, as cases of their falling from the sky have surprised people, and many ancient and modern reports have been documented that refer to this strange phenomenon.

The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclides of Lembis recorded strange cases that occurred in the past, where frogs rained from the sky in such an incredible way that homes and streets were filled with them, and the residents of Odzaci and Serbia witnessed thousands of small frogs falling from the storm clouds, which gave these cases a flavor of mystery and amazement.

the meat

The term “meat rain” refers to a strange phenomenon where balls of meat fall from the sky, and of course, these phenomena are not exactly delicious and are not desirable to eat. In 1876, residents of Olympian Springs, Kentucky, witnessed a sudden fall of strange "meat flakes." Two men tried them and reported that they tasted like mutton or venison. Some scientists suggested that hovering hawks were the cause.

Space waste

Space debris can result when some satellites lose parts of themselves as they re-enter the atmosphere and break up as they land on the Earth's surface. Currently, the prototype Tiangong-1 space station is heading towards the Earth's surface, although if it re-enters the atmosphere it will break up into pieces. parts, but the falling debris will not pose a threat to anyone on the surface of the Earth.
