One hundred and fifty years ago. March 3rd, 1876.

It was a beautiful day in Olympia Springs, Kentucky.

A resident named Rebecca Crouch was out on her yard making soap when a strange kind of snow began to fall at least that's how she described it

it was pieces drifting down about the size of snowflakes only they weren't white they weren't red

and they looked like meat it was raining meat in olympia springs k Kentucky. We don't know what happened. Apparently,

the next day, when they went out and saw particles of meat sticking to the fence and scattered

all over the ground, apparently two gentlemen who tasted the meat expressed the opinion that it was either mutton or venison.

I mean, when you have meat sticking on the top of a fence post, you have to try it, right?

Of course you do.

Now, they really don't know what caused it.

Some person came a few months later and described it as some witch's butter uh from a rain but

but it wasn't raining and then another person said you know the plausible theory is that it is

um well how can i say this it is uh the fact that the birds were puking over the, over the property.

Yeah.

You know, that's what they figured.

They figured, hey, you know, probably what was going on was, it was projectile vulture

vomit, which apparently vultures are common in Kentucky and are known to, you know, throw up through their stomach.

So nobody knows what it was.

But I just want to celebrate.

It was actually March 3rd.

If you're listening live today, it is the 4th of March.
