On this day:

THE KENTUCKY PHENOMENON

On March 3, 1876, at the home of Allen Crouch near Olympian Springs, Kentucky, "from a clear sky" fell flakes of beef between one and four inches long. A thick shower of the meat landed on the ground, trees, and fences over an area of 100 yards by 50 yards. There was no wind at the time. One of the startled witnesses ate some of the skyfall and said it tasted fresh and like mutton or venison. First accounts of this event appeared in the Scientific American and the New York Times.

Various experts examined the matter. Their opinions on its identity included nostoc, "a low form of vegetable matter"; lung tissue from a human or a horse; cartilage; and muscular fiber. Only one expert conjectured on how it fell from the sky. The suggestion was that the meat was disgorged by buzzards, though this idea didn't say how many of them it would take to vomit that much meat or how high they would have to be flying to be invisible to those on the ground.

On March 3, 1929, inside an office in Newton, New Jersey, a rain of buckshot fell at intervals over several days. It could not be discovered how the shot got into the building.

I didn’t plan to make this look like a romantic scene from an 80s movie, but the soft focus does fit this couple nicely…
