A very thought provoking article which does touch on the broader issues with the back channel.

Cola, researchers often develop theories based on what information is available to them at the time. Right now those theories are the most widely accepted by scientists and even the skeptic’s article had comments contradicting his facts. As I said in the intro, many of these have yet to be fully understood.

Yeah, I just always assumed that waterspouts were responsible for that frogs and fish nonsense was true until I read the skeptoid article linked above. So it’s a little disappointing when Neatorama fails to research these things and set the record straight.

In conclusion: Needs more googling!

Red rain fell recently in India too. Check out Earthfiles dot com for more odd info on that.

Yeah underpantsgnome, that’s exactly what I was thinking!! According to the first article on waterspouts, they are just condensation, but the next ones about raining red and the next about raining fish, say just the opposite!! I hate this kind of conflicting evidence. It makes mores sense to me that something supernatural is happening in the last two cases.

This page suggests the raining-animals-from-waterspouts notion isn't true: It's Raining Frogs and Fish

So waterspouts don’t suck up water, but they suck up animals and algae? I think these scientists need to start talking to each other before publishing their findings.

At the very top of the first illustration, that sure as heck looks like the Eye of Sauron to me.

I read of the London fog that if you left a door open it would actually come into the building. I don’t know if that’s true or cockney hyperbole.

My mum worked in London during the war and for some years after – she remembers the pea-souper fogs. She said you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face and that bus drivers had to have someone hanging out of the window following the kerb.
She also remembers a particularly cold winter just after the war when pigeons were dying on the wing and just falling out of the sky at you.
