Mysterious Rains... These are hard facts that cannot be believed

Imagine your walking down the rainy road enjoying the bliss of soft and cold shower and suddenly you realise that you are all drenched in black water. You look up to the sky and find heavy droplets of dark water sinking mankind. This is not an imaginary story. This is a true incident that occurred eight years ago in Kerala, India. If this seems to blow your mind, then read further that would thrill your very senses. Read about mysterious rains like, fish rain, frogs rain and multi coloured rain.

Multicolour rain
The soft showers from heaven can grow gruesome and fall in with enchanted colours like yellow, black, green and red. If you believe in prophecies they are considered as bad omen. If you don't they are still a bad omen. Here is the most unusual rainfall that made all the researches go crazy with the coloured droplets of water. This incident occurred from 25 July to 23 September 2001 in small towns of Kerala, India.

Multi coloured rains are not very uncommon, though most of the citations are from 19th or the early years of 21st century. The reasons cited for the colour of the rain water varied from every other researcher. Some said it was caused due to volcanic or meteoric origin, due to their chemical properties and other blamed the swams of butterflies and fungi.

Sulphur, chloride of cobalt are other chemicals often associated with yellow and red rain. Red rain from Europe has been largely explained as the result of sand from the Sahara being blown into the air by whirlwinds and coming down in southern Europe mixed with rain and appearing red. But earthquakes have followed red rain in England in the past. Researchers even stated that yellow rain could be due to sand or the presence of pollen in the air. This was the reason given for coloured rains in Afghanistan a few years ago. With the mixed opinions there still hasn't been the right cause for such mysterious rains.

Fish Rain
Here are some major encounters of fishes dropping from the sky with rain.
In 1989, in Ipswich, Australia, Harold and Degen's front lawn was covered with about 800 "sardines" that rained from above during a light shower.
In February, 1861, folks in many areas of Singapore reported a rain of fish following an earthquake.
The rain fish was also recorded in India. A powerful whirlwind might explain a rain of small fish, but it cannot account for the ones that weighed as much as eight pounds that had come crashing down on these villagers.

Frogs Rain

In 1873, Scientific American reported that Kansas City, Missouri was blanketed with frogs that dropped from the sky during a storm
In 1981, citizen of Naphlion, a city in southern Greece were surprised to see small green frogs falling from the sky. The frogs weighed just a few ounces each and landed in trees and plopped into the streets. The Greek Meteorological Institute surmised they were picked up by a strong wind. But, this research is hard to believe, as these species of frogs were native to North Africa.
