...someone comes along to prove that it doesn't.
It was Jordan Maxwell who first introduced me to the author Charles Hoy Fort. Fort was born in N.Y. in 1874 and soon became the bane of modern science, then and now. He wrote four books within his life that are now, I believe, collectors items. Fort wrote about the unexplained strange phenomena of this life which was rarely if ever explained by science. Oh, they tried and for the most part, failed. Charles Fort became an outcast in his own right. It is because he had a fascination for all things weird. And in addition, he had/has, as his voice lives on, a tremendously hilarious dry sarcastic wit.
I got lucky and got my hands on a copy of the collection of his four books which is over a thousand pages in length. Without fail, every time I turn a page, I learn something extraordinary and astounding. I fortunately have many pages left to turn. I am into the first book, The Book of the Damned, which was first published in 1919. What is meant by extraordinary and astounding?
I give all due credit to this author Charles Fort and the publisher Penguin Group as well as Jim Steinmeyer who wrote the introduction.
Fort explains that by Damned as in The Book of the Damned, he means that the information that he presents has been excluded or ignored or set aside by the scientific community. In the first few chapters of this book, he sites situations found in credible journals and articles at the time, of things/stuff falling from the sky. We aren't talking about just a few frogs here. He writes of, in some cases, tons of "stuff" having fallen from the sky onto communities and witnessed by the inhabitants. For example, in some areas of the world, huge monstrous snowflakes fell from the sky and were black....or red....or...
Nature, Sept. 19, 1918-46:
A correspondent writes, from the Dove marine Laboratory, Cuttercoats, England, that, at Hindon, a suburb of Sunderland, Aug. 24, 1918, hundreds of small fishes, identified as sand eels, had fallen--
Again the small area: about 60 by 30 yards.
The fall occurred during a heavy rain that was accompanied by thunder-or indications of disturbance aloft-but by no visible lightning. The sea is close to Hindon, but if you try to think of these fishes having described a trajectory in a whirlwind from the ocean, consider this remarkable datum:
That, according to witnesses, the fall upon this small area occupied ten minutes.
I cannot think of a clearer indication of a direct fall from a stationary source.
And:
"The fish were all dead, and indeed stiff and hard, when picked up, immediately after the occurrence."
In Timb's Year Book, 1877-26, it is said that, in the winter of 1876, at Christiania, Norway, worms were found crawling upon the ground. The occurrence is considered a great mystery, because the worms could not have come up from the ground, in as much as the ground was frozen at the time, and because they were reported from other places, also, in Norway.
Large number of worms found in a snowstorm, upon the surface of snow about four inches thick, near Sangerfield, N.Y., Nov. 18, 1850 (Scientific American, 6-96).
Monthly Weather Review, May, 1878:
In a tornado, in Wisconsin, May 23, 1878, "a barn and a horse were carried completely away, and neither horse nor barn, nor any portion of either have since been found."
Or snowflakes. Size of saucers. Said to have fallen at Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 24, 1891. One smiles.
"In Montana, in the winter of 1887, fell snowflakes 15 inches across, and 8 inches thick." (Monthly Weather Review, 1915-73.)
...Just at present, it is my conservative, or timid purpose, to express only that there have been red rains that very strongly suggest blood or finely divided animal matter--
Debris from inter-planetary disasters.
Aerial battles.
Food-supplies from cargoes of super-vessels, wrecked in inter-planetary traffic.
