When the Sky Rained Meat Over Kentucky

In March of 1876, the quiet farmland of Bath County, Kentucky, became the stage for one of the strangest events in American history. Without a storm in sight, pieces of raw meat began to drift down from the sky. Residents watched in disbelief as the ground slowly filled with what looked like beef or mutton. Some thought it was a message from heaven. Others wondered if the end of the world had come.

The story spread far beyond Kentucky, drawing scientists, reporters, and skeptics from across the country. Even now, nearly a century and a half later, no one can say with absolute certainty what caused the strange "rain" that fell on that calm afternoon.

Historian Ashley Hlebinsky revisits the event known as the Kentucky Meat Shower, tracing how one brief moment in a rural town became part of American folklore and continues to be one of the most enduring mysteries ever recorded.
