Kentucky meat shower
The Kentucky meat shower was an incident where what appeared to be flakes of red meat fell from the sky in a area near Rankin, Bath County, Kentucky, for a period of several minutes on March 3, 1876. Most of the pieces were approximately square; at least one was square. The phenomenon was reported by ''Scientific American'', the ''New York Times'', and several other publications at the time.〔〔(21 March 1876). (The Carnal Rain - Careful Investigation of the Kentucky Marvel by a Correspondent ), ''New York Herald'', p. 4, col. 1〕
== Identifying the meat ==
The meat appeared to be beef, but according to the first report in ''Scientific American'', "two gentlemen" who tasted it judged it to be mutton or venison. B.F. Ellington, a local hunter, identified it as bear meat.
Initially, the "meat" was identified by a Mr. Leopold Brandeis writing in the ''Sanitarian'' as nostoc.〔 When Brandeis passed the meat sample to the Newark Scientific Association for further analysis, this led to a letter from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton appearing in the publication ''Medical Record'' stating that the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant, "the structure of the organ in these two cases being almost identical."〔 The makeup of this sample was backed up by further analysis, with two samples of the meat being identified as lung tissue, three as muscle, and two as cartilage.〔
