Brilio.net - After social media was shocked by the phenomenon of extreme hot weather in India, now it is the turn of a unique natural phenomenon in Iran. This phenomenon is in the form of rain where not only water falls, but fish in large numbers.
Iranian citizens were shocked by the video of the fish 'rain' phenomenon which is known to have occurred in the Yasuj region, Iran. This phenomenon is said to have occurred after bad weather hit parts of Persia.
The appearance of the fish 'rain' went viral on social media. In the Instagram account @mahi_kadeh, fish can be seen falling from the sky. The fish, which looked still alive, were floundering on the asphalt. Next, a man was seen picking up fish that had fallen from the sky.

Reported by brilio.net from the news page dailystar.co.uk, Tuesday (7/5), this phenomenon was apparently triggered by a tornado which lifted small marine life, resulting in reports of a storm in the Yasuj area. But it could be that the fish was deliberately thrown into the air and fell and then recorded for content purposes only. Until now, verification is still ongoing.
An expert quoted by brilio.net from the sanook.com news page, Tuesday (7/5), said that there was nothing superstitious about this phenomenon. According to an expert, this phenomenon can be explained scientifically.
There is nothing supernatural about this. One hypothesis is that tornado-shaped jets sometimes catch creatures such as fish or frogs and carry them for miles. "When the wind speed gradually decreases, living creatures fall into the rainwater," said the climate expert, quoted by brilio.net from Sanook.com, Tuesday (7/5).

The video, which lasts a few seconds, was filled with comments from netizens.
"The ocean has provided dinner for the Iranian people tonight," said one netizen who handled the video uploaded by @mahi_kadeh.
However, some people think the video is fake. The reason is, previously a video went viral showing eggplants falling from the sky in the city of Tehran, Iran in 2020. It was later discovered that the video of eggplants falling from the sky was fake. According to reports, Iranian authorities later detained five people in connection with the forgery four years ago.
So, what makes the fish rain video suspicious is that the recorder turned out to be a fish seller and was the only person who noticed this alleged phenomenon. Motorists passing through the road didn't seem to care.

The 'fish rain' phenomenon also occurred in January 2022 in Texarkana, Texas, United States. At that time, small fish fell from the sky, even though the city was several hours from the water source.
Even so, according to National Geographic, 'animal rain' is a real thing, but unfortunately many reports have not been proven.
This can be explained scientifically with the following explanation:
"Strong winds called updrafts can also sweep away animals. Frogs, bats, jellies, worms, grasshoppers, birds, crabs, snakes and fish are some of the animals that have been reported to have rained on the earth around the world." quoted brilio.net from dailystar.co.uk, Tuesday (7/5).
