It may rain not only cats and dogs but also frogs and fish

Meteorologists believe that since fish rains prove to be not a fake there must be some non-paranormal explanation to the phenomenon. These experts say that some whirlwinds or water swirls may take unlucky fish out of rivers and seas, then take them some distance away and pour down with a heavy rain. The version may explain some of the fish rain instances. However, there is still no evidence or witness proving that whirlwinds can actually drag fish out of water while there is enough evidence telling about fish rains. And can you imagine some whirlwind sorting fishes into different species to further pour them down? And why there is no sand or seaweeds raining down together with fishes?

Three fishermen from Kiribati probably witnessed the most astonishing fish rain on April 4, 1986 . After a shipwreck, the fishermen spent 119 days afloat before they were picked up over 500 miles away from the shipwreck site. All the time before the fishermen were found in the sea they had to catch small sharks barehanded and ate them uncooked. One night, the desperate men begged God for some other food, and at once something plopped down in their boat. That was a rare but very tasty fish of the species that never surfaces but stays very deep in the sea whatever happens.

Later when the fishermen were rescued they told the mysterious story which turned out to be a real puzzle for hydrobiologists. Indeed, the fish which the fishermen mentioned in the story usually stayed at a depth of 600 feet. So, it is unlikely that the mysterious gift was a catch of some bird that failed to keep it and dropped immediately in the boat. So, the fish rain phenomenon can be better described by the words of Winston Churchill: “It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”
