Hundreds of fish have fallen from the sky in a local Australian village.
According to Australian ABC News on the 23rd (local time), on the 19th, hundreds of fish rained down from the sky in Rajamanu, a small town near the desert in northern Australia.
“I saw a big storm heading towards my town,” said Andrew Johnson Zapananga, a local city council member.
Residents who witnessed the scene at the time testified that fish suddenly fell from the sky to the ground and roofs, and many of them jumped on the floor without dying.
“People gathered near the fish to watch,” said Japanangka.
The fish that flew in were sequined perch, a freshwater fish of the sea bass family commonly found in Australia, and it was found that they lived in a river about 500 km away.

Meteorological experts said in relation to this phenomenon, “It is estimated that a strong storm sucked the fish tens of thousands of meters into the air, froze it for a while, and then dropped it to the ground.”
This is not the first time something like this has happened in the village. First reported in 1974, this phenomenon was recorded for the fourth time in 2004 and 2010, including this time.
Similar phenomena have been observed in other regions. In 2020, fish rain also fell in Yowa, Queensland, 950 km west of Brisbane, Australia.
“Most of these have been seen during localized flooding of small waterholes,” said fish curator Michael Hamer, who has experience investigating similar phenomena. said.
