Iranian residents have witnessed a rare phenomenon - a rain of fish
After an unusual rain, Iranians witnessed a strange and exciting phenomenon - fish falling from the sky. Video recordings made by eyewitnesses show how a man catches fish and demonstrates it to the camera, becoming a participant in this rare event.
Causes and possible explanations of the phenomenon
Fish rain is a phenomenon that, although rare, has already been recorded several times around the world. One of the recent cases occurred in February 2023 in Lajamana, Australia, when small live fish fell with the rain on the heads of local residents. Scientists suggest that the cause of this phenomenon may be tornadoes and tornadoes that form over water surfaces, capture water together with animals and transport them over long distances, where they fall out with the rain.
Stories about fish rains all over the world
Although cases of fish rain are not as frequent as it might seem, they are still recorded in different countries. In addition to Australia, over the past ten years, fish have fallen from the sky in India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, the USA, Ethiopia and Honduras. In addition to fish, there have also been cases of rain from frogs, for example, in Hungary in 2010 and in Uruguay in 2011.
There are also cases when tornadoes and tornadoes were lifted into the air by other animals, which then fell with the rain. In Australia, rain from spiders was recorded in 2015, and in China in 2018 - from octopuses, starfish and turtles.
