Lluvia de Peces – Rain of Fish

In the three month period of time between May and July in Honduras, a dark cloud will appear in the sky.  Rain, lightning, and thunder will occur for a few hours, and when everyone goes outside there are hundreds of live fish all over the ground.  They pick ‘em up, take ‘em home, and eat ‘em.  There is no rational scientific explanation for this phenomenon.  It has happened since the year 1864!

**Note:  there are possible explanations for this event – that fish get sucked up into weather currents, that the fish are from underground rivers and get swept out onto land, or that Father Subirana, a Spanish missionary, prayed for three days and three nights asking God to provide food for the village.  After this, the fish came down, and it’s been happening ever since.  Nobody knows for sure.  National Geographic sent some researchers to check it out, but all they have are theories – nothing proven.
