On This Day in Weird, June 15...
1857: A farmer named Bradley, in Ottawa, Illinois, reports
hears a hissing sound overhead and sees a rain of cinders falling to earth,
landing in a V-shaped pattern some 15 yards from where he stood. On impact,
grass catches fire and bare soil steams. Furthermore, large cinders "bury
themselves" into the soil, and even smaller ones appear to penetrate a
little. The day was generally rainy, and Bradley allegedly saw a particular
small, dark cloud over his property when the unexplained cinders fell.
