Lluvia de peces

Location of the Yoro department

The lluvia de peces (lit.'rain of fish'), also known as aguacero de pescado (lit.'downpour of fish'),[1][2] a form of rain of animals, is a phenomenon that has been occurring yearly for more than a century in Yoro, Honduras, in which fish are said to fall from the sky.[3][4][5][6] It occurs up to four times in a year. It has attracted the attention of scientists, as well as documentary coverage by the History Channel in the United States.[7][8]
