Mystery -  They say truth is stranger than the fiction. It proves right when we come across certain events in life. Strangest events have taken place in the history of mankind but nothing like the following incidents.

In Thames Ditton, Surrey, England on October 18, 1867, flames fell from the sky. It was a shower of flame not rain, that day. The shower lasted for 10 minutes and after it was over the residents went out and found sulfur in the numerous puddles left by the storm.

Chico, California in the mid 1920s was showered with stones. Some stones were the size of baseballs while others were pebbles. The storm lasted for months, and no reason could be found for the phenomenon

The year was 1877, the place was Memphis, Tennessee. Scientific American Magazine was trying to figure out why thousands of live snakes rained down on this southern town. Some of the snakes were as long as eighteen inches. The only thing the magazine could say was "They probably were carried aloft by a hurricane and wafted through the atmosphere for a long distance..." This explanation didn't account for where so many snakes could have possibly come from.

Nature Magazine records a fall in 1930 in Vicksburg, Mississippi. A huge piece of ice fell out of the sky with a gopher turtle, six inches by eight inches, encased in it.

In Redding near Manchester, England in 1982, children reported coins falling from the sky. People doubted this but found that some of the coins were embedded into the earth edgewise and must have fallen from quite a height. No planes were heard or detected overhead.

    All above mentioned incidents are documented with people on both side of the edge. some believe these are just urban myths while others actually believe it to be true. Just like the UFO's.
