Description

Get ready for one of the wildest true stories from history: a sunny day in 1876 Kentucky when strange red pieces fell from a clear blue sky! Ben & Pia guide you through the mystery step by step — from the farmhouse moment to scientists peering through microscopes.

Why this story is special: It mixes surprise, science, and sleuthing. People tasted, smelled, and studied the falling pieces, and doctors later compared them under lenses to solve the puzzle. This is a great history mystery for curious minds who love nature and investigation!

Historical Fun Fact: Some scientists who examined the samples in 1876 thought the pieces were lung and internal tissue — clues that pointed to birds called vultures as the most likely cause.

Did you know? Could a flock of birds really make a shower of falling flesh by vomiting while flying? What would make them do that?

Ben & Pia tell this incredible event with wonder and respect, showing how everyday people, reporters, and doctors worked together to explain a bizarre sight.
