Apples Fall From The Sky In England
"Sky falls are one of the original Fortean phenomena."
Earlier this week, drivers in Coventry faced an unusual traffic hazard: hundreds of apples fell from the sky. The apples were described as being "small and green," and rained down over the intersection of Keresley Road and Kelmscote Road. It was particularly puzzling since there are no orchards or other sources of apples for quite some distance around.
The weather in England has been described as "unsettled" during this time, and the standard explanation for these sky falls is that a water spout or small tornado sucks up a collection of items and flings them far from their original location. This seems like the most plausible explanation for this phenomena, although it fails to explain why the items in sky falls are typically so uniform. In the case of this particular fall, for example, the apples were all nearly identical. No apples from a neighboring tree? No leaves or branches from that tree? JUST the apples?
