Only a month ago, a video from Utah showed thousands of baby fish raining from the sky. While the phenomenon might sound interesting but in reality, it was just authorities trying to restock the 200-odd lakes in the state with some fish. 

Similarly, when a security footage from Virginia Beach showed a fish, out of nowhere, falling on a car, some people suggested that it must be a bird who dropped lunch.

The homeowner, Carlos Maldonado, told ViralHog that he was informed of the fish hitting the car by neighbours. He added that initially, he refused to believe them but after checking the footage that they realised a fish had, indeed, fallen from the sky.

“Car was parked. A claim was already pending on another part of the car that got damaged, and then the fish fell from the sky and bent the spoiler. The neighbours said it sounded like a gunshot and they came over to investigate and saw the fish and knocked on our door. We said ‘Yeah right, a fish fell from the sky?’Maldonado said.

“We searched the ring video and saw the fish fall from the sky and hit the car. I had to call StateFarm and make another claim, at least we had the video to prove this story,” Maldonado added.

The video has been viewed more than six and a half thousand times on YouTube. The video description says the incident occurred on July 24, 2021.

Some viewers said that the fish could have been dropped by a bird that was seen flying at the beginning of the video.

“If you watch the sky to the left at the beginning you will see a bird flying and drop it,” a commenter wrote.

“Strange the bird was teaching that fish to fly.. lesson ended real soon I guess ?” another one read.
