It looks like it's starting to rain. What will he bring us? (11 photos)
A common and familiar weather phenomenon is not always drops of water. Sometimes the heavens give the earth very strange things and objects that have nothing to do with precipitation.
Wealth
The case was recorded in the village of Meshchery in 1940, whose residents became rich in one day thanks to ancient coins from the period of the 16th–17th centuries that fell from the sky. Presumably it was a washed-out treasure that was picked up and thrown out by a powerful hurricane to the delight of the villagers.
Amphibians
The nature of the residents of the Serbian village of Kaja Dzhanovik in 2005 pleased the nature with such rain. Dozens of frogs, pulled out of their usual environment against their will, settled on the ground due to a strong storm.
Vitamins
Apples are healthy fruits. But if they fall from the sky, they can cause harm by hitting you on the head. Residents of the British city of Coventry were lucky enough to see an apple fall in 2011. Fortunately, only a few cars were damaged by the strange precipitation, which even included isolated carrots and small heads of cabbage.
Blood
Residents of the Indian state of Kerala encountered such a terrible phenomenon in 2001. Of course, the prophecies and predictions about heavenly punishments did not come true. The falling drops turned red due to the high level of lichen spores in the water.
Arthropods
But for arachnophobes, the rain that fell in the Australian city of Goulburn in 2015 would definitely make them feel bad. Spiders descended from the sky in slender and not very rows, which in this way were looking for a new place of residence.
Worms
It was surprising and frightening when Scottish schoolchildren in 2011 encountered earthworms gliding from the sky during a physical education lesson. The teacher took the students away from harm to school. Within a radius of 100 meters they collected more than a hundred worms. How they even ended up at the school in calm, windless weather remains a mystery.
Fish
For Honduras, fish rain is a common rather than unique phenomenon. Occurs annually in the Yoro area from late spring to mid-summer and is even reflected in local folklore.
Corn
Back in 1804, the Spaniards were pleased with the wheat rain. People regarded it as a sign of God's mercy. In fact, it is highly likely that the grain was brought by a hurricane from destroyed food warehouses in Africa.
Living jelly
Falling jellyfish are also not such a rare phenomenon. It was encountered several times in Tokyo, Beijing, and Texas, America. We have recorded rain from jellyfish in the Irkutsk region.
Have you ever encountered such unexpected phenomena or objects that literally fell from the sky?
