The Kentucky Meat Shower
In 1876, large pieces of fresh red meat three to four inches square fell on a 100 by 50 yard area in Kentucky. Although it looked like beef, two men who tasted it said it was either mutton or venison. After careful examination of several samples, the specimens were found to contain muscle, lung, and connective tissue. Residents decided that the only possible solution was that a flock of previously fed buzzards had regurgitated their last meals overhead.
