Things HURRICANES Have Sent FLYING!

November 12th 2008 09:47

Hurricanes are unpredictable at the best of times, but who could have predicted these strange occurrences!

During one hurricane in the USA, witnesses noticed as a row of birds sitting on a branch had all their feathers blown off!

A young baby was found miles away from his home without a scratch on him.

In Iowa during 1962 a cow flew a full kilometre (about a half mile) during a tornado.

In the UK in 1703, a cow was discovered still alive in the uppermost branches of a tall tree. How you get a cow out of a tall tree I don't know!

In 1947 a multitude of fish were sent whipping along to land finally on a town in Louisiana - one witness included a wildlife biologist.

During an 1899 F4 tornado in Missouri, "three people, Miss Moorehouse, Mrs. Webster, and her son were caught up in the storm and carried nearly one-quarter mile. They were let down so gently that none of the three was seriously injured. Moorehouse described her incredible flight: 'I was conscious all the time I was flying through the air, and it seemed a long time. I seemed to be lifted up and whirled round and round, going up to a great height, at one time far above the church steeples, and seemed to be carried a long distance... As I was going through the air being whirled about at the sport of the storm, I saw a horse soaring and rotating about with me. It was a white horse and had a harness on. By the way it kicked and struggled as it was hurled about I knew it was alive. I prayed God that the horse might not come in contact with me, and it did not. I was mercifully landed upon the Earth unharmed, saved by a miracle."

IT FELL From The SKY II! MONEY

July 4th 2008 10:15

In 1968, shoppers in Kent, UK, were surprised by falling coinage on the footpath. Apparently they came from nowhere with only the sound of them hitting the ground alerting the shoppers to their presence, and the dents in them backed up the story that they had fallen from the sky. There were no tall buildings or planes nearby.

In 1976 over a Piazza in Rome, a light plane dropped a large quantity of 500, 1000, and 10000 lira bank notes. The pilot of the plane was never identified.

IT FELL From The SKY! MEAT!!!

July 3rd 2008 10:15

All sorts of strange and bizarre items have fallen from the sky in the past, but how would you feel if a lump of fresh meat landed in your lap?

In 1851 soldiers at a base out near San Francisco were practising drills when they were hit by blood and pieces of meat, from a cloudless sky.

Vile Vehicle Or Simply Coincidence

July 8th 2007 00:01

A young and upcoming actor at the time, James Dean while driving his Porsche Spyder was killed in a fatal car accident on September 30th, 1955. A strange string of coincidences have surrounded the car ever since.

After buying the car Dean had introduced himself to Alec Guinness and asked him to take a look at the Spyder. Guinness thought the car appeared "sinister" and told Dean: "If you get in that car you will be found dead in it by this time next week." This conversation reportedly occurred on September 23, 1955.
