- We spend most of our lives with our feet
firmly planted on the ground,
but if we look up to the night sky,
we can see the stars and the galaxies
which make up our incredible universe.
As mystifying as the universe is,
our skies themselves contain mysteries all their own.
Objects falling from up there,
which we either can't explain
or can't fathom how they got there.

Here are 10 unexplained objects that fell from the sky.
Number 10 is blood rain. (rain pouring)
Horror films and religious texts
depict the nightmarish scene
of blood raining down from the sky.
But there are actual documented instances of this happening.
Many of these accounts come from hundreds of years ago
but the omen of blood rain has continued more recently.
In the 19th Century, there were 146 documented instances.
In 2001 and in 2012,
blood rain fell in large amounts in India.
Various explanations have been put forward
from bacteria in the atmosphere, like algae,
to red dust being sucked up from the ground
during a sandstorm and then deposited.
Others believe that it could be a curse.
Whatever it is, the sight of blood rain
has been known to cause mass hysteria and terror
on those unfortunate enough to encounter it.
Number nine is the Birmingham Meteorite.
(rain pouring)
In September of 2019, the city of Birmingham England
was the location of a bizarre mystery.
Local news teams had picked up
on several panicked calls to the police.
Those scared callers were soon numerous enough
to warrant action.
The police were baffled by callers' descriptions
of a fiery object above the streets of Birmingham.
The object was blindingly bright
and traveled through the air in an arc,
eventually plummeting into the Earth.
Some of those who witnessed the object
believed that it was a plane crash
while others thought it was extraterrestrial in origin.
Police took the reports of a plane crash so seriously
that they searched for the crash site.
However, no crash site could be found.
Number eight are spiders. (rain pouring)
While most people can overcome their fear of spiders,
there's one instance which would utterly terrify
even the bravest.
In January of 2019, a rural area in Brazil
saw something unimaginable,
spiders raining down on them from the skies.
Videos and photos were taken, and for those on the scene,
they were stunned and scared to go outside.
This has been seen once before in 2013 in the same area.
Looking for an explanation, biologists have suggested
that the spiders in the sky are a rare form
of social spider, explaining the sheer number of them.
This ties into one theory
that they're gliding through the air together,
thousands of them connected by an unseen web,
one you do not want to get caught in.
Number seven are the metal spheres phenomenon.
(rain pouring)
Reported throughout 2018 and beyond,
investigative reporters began to notice
a worrying global trend.
In various locations, strange unexplained metal spheres
were being encountered as they fell from the sky.
The mystery has left people baffled.
Places such as the UK, Russia and Peru
have all seen these objects, which first appear as fireballs
plummeting from the sky, until the impact in the ground.
Once cooled, they reveal themselves
to be large balls made of metal.
Theories as to their origins
include space debris from rockets,
to secret experiments being carried out in the atmosphere.
Whatever their origin, what's certain
is that you do not want to get hit by one of these spheres,
as the force would completely vaporize your body.
Number six is the Somerset anomaly.
(rain pouring)
During an unusually ferocious lightning storm
in Somerset England, those watching the fork lightning
cut through the sky were shocked by what they saw.
As the lightning forked, something large and black
emerged from the sparks and then shot towards the ground.
One of the observers, Megan Taylor was recording the storm
on her camera and actually caught footage
of the strange object.
Megan was quoted in the presses
saying that the storm "Was unlike anything
"she had experienced before."
The object was analyzed by UFO experts
who believed that it made a controlled descent.
If it was indeed a craft of some kind,
only one question remains, who or what was flying it?
Number five are the Warminster birds.
(rain pouring)
During the 1960s, the small town of Warminster
near Stonehenge in England was the location
of bizarre UFO encounters.
These involved strange crackling noises
coming from the sky, as well as orbs of light
seen pulling off incredible maneuvers from above town.
However, there were also incidents
where things fell from the sky.
Many of these were large flocks of birds.
Witnesses watched as flocks of pigeons
would fly through the sky
and then hit something invisible in the air
only to plummet to the ground lifeless.
No one is certain what they encountered and how they died,
but one theory is that whatever was traveling
through the skies in that part of England
was emitting a powerful electrical field
capable of frying anything that touched it.
Number four is angel hair. (rain pouring)
Angel hair is a strange substance
which is often discovered after a UFO sighting.
No one is quite sure what it is,
but it resembles thin strands of cotton or spiderweb.
Reports of this strange material falling from the sky
and covering things and people on the ground
go back 100 years.
One of the earliest sightings was in 1561
and as recently as 2014 in Sri Lanka,
angel hair was discovered in a remote area.
No one is quite sure what it is.
Biologists suggest that it's produced
by a life form on Earth.
Ufologist however, believe that it's material
created by ionized air around UFOs as they fly.
Whatever it is, if you see it, look to the sky
because as you stare at the angel hair
something above might be staring back at you.
Number three is the Kentucky meat shower.
(rain pouring)
The Kentucky meat shower of 1876 is truly mysterious.
It occurred on March 3rd of that year.
A farmer's wife named Miss Crouch was on the porch
of her farm during the afternoon when she saw
a swarm of strange objects falling from the sky.
Some of these were small in size, but others were large.
As the objects hit the ground,
they made a horrible squelching noise.
From the smell and the blood red appearance of the objects,
it became clear that slices of meat
were falling from the sky.
Various people studied the meat rain,
coming to different conclusions.
Some believed that it was bear meat,
others, a substance produced by bacteria.
But most terrifying of all, one academic stated
"It consisted of human lung tissue."
Number two is the Las Vegas diving UFOs.
(rain pouring)
On the 22nd of May, 2016, a glowing ball of light
was seen falling from the sky above Las Vegas.
It was observed by witnesses on the ground,
and one person managed to film its descent.
In the video, the Las Vegas strip
can be seen in the background,
as this strange phosphorescent orb flies towards the ground.
It's then followed by two other similar objects
which are either in pursuit, or being pulled along with it.
No debris was found after they disappeared,
and an explanation for the three objects remains elusive.
However, there have been other sightings since,
leading some to believe that Las Vegas itself
is either generating
or attracting these things from the sky.
We can only hope that they're benign in nature.
And number one is the hands from above.
(rain pouring)
In January of 2014 in Saudi Arabia,
a number of objects fell from the sky
and scattered across a wide area.
Investigators were called in to catalog these objects.
Even the police were in attendance
as they tried to figure out just what happened.
When they arrived, the truth quickly revealed itself.
The debris was not made up of inanimate objects.
It was made up of people.
Somehow body parts had fallen from the sky.
Some speculate that a refugee was caught
in the landing gear of a plane
while others insist that organized criminals
disposed of their enemies from the sky.
Whatever the truth, this remains one of the most puzzling
and disturbing cases of things falling from the sky, ever.
