Things Do Fall from the sky..sometimes

I remember when I was kid in Kindergarten , playing in the playground minding my own business.. A hat fell out of the sky, just like that! And I put it on my head, wore it headed back to class, My teacher we used to call her 'Grandma'/Bibi(she was soo cranky) was mighty mad that i was wearing a farmers hat in class, she asked me again and again where I got the hat, And again and again I said it fell from the sky, the children laughed and my teacher got even madder at me.
 I didnt know what to do, it did fall from the sky but she made me say I was lying and explained to the rest of the children why things dont just fall from the sky, she made me write on the board 100 times (mind you I was only 3 feet tall so I had to stand on a chair) I will not lie again. The next day, I was minding my own business as usual when a shirt fell from the sky, so there I was little me in the middle of playtime with a large oversized shirt over me. My teacher who spotted me yet again, tried to squeeze the so called 'truth' of where I got this shirt from, to which I explained how it fell from the sky, this time she decided I'm either stealing or needing therapy.Until a guy who lived opposite to the school came around and said how the winds have been strong at his farmhouse, how the wind blew his hats and clothes off,My teacher called me later told me how I got the hat and the shirt and explained why things just dont fall from the sky...Well here are 10 things that did fall from the sky Grandma...it does happen...things do fall from the sky sometimes


 A rain of spiders in Argentina
April 6, 2007, a rain of spiders falls from the sky in Salta Province, Argentina. Christian Oneto Gaona and his friends decided to take a trip to Salta Province during their Easter vacation. They started to hike into the San Bernardo Mountain and two hours later, they found the ground around them was blanketed with spiders of many colors, each about four inches across. They found more and more spiders along their way up the mountain. They looked up, and saw numerous spiders falling from the sky. Christian became probably the first person in the world who caught this weird rain on camera. Read More 

A cow that fell from the sky in Japan
1997 a Japanese fishing trawler was rescued in the Sea of Japan. They claimed that a cow fell out of the sky, struck the boat, causing it to sink. The crew members were immediately put in jail. About 2 weeks later the Russian Air Force informed the Japanese authorities that the crew of one of its cargo planes had stolen a cow thinking they would have beef for some time. Of course the cow was not fond of its close surroundings and began to thrash about. To save the aircraft and themselves, at about 30,000 feet, the crew shoved the animal out of the cargo hold as they were flying over the sea of Japan. Read More   More
