NASA: Agusan ‘fish-rain’ a natural phenomenon, yet unusual
While many were shocked upon hearing it, Agusan’s ‘rain of fish’ on Friday the 13th is a recognized natural phenomenon, yet unusual.
The residents of Loreto town, Agusan del Sur were the first to be taken aback after knowing it was raining fish on Friday morning while they were keeping warm inside their houses. At first, the residents were unmindful of the rain as small yellow fishes, which some thought of as mudfish fingerlings falling from the sky.
So far, there is still no update from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources on this incident.
While waiting for an official statement from BFAR, residents begin giving their own supernatural interpretations on such unusual occurrence. Others are even inferring what happened to the rain of frogs inscribed in the Bible.
But according to Lin Chambers of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center, such occurrence is a natural phenomenon without supernatural value. Chambers posted her article associated with this matter on the official website of NASA. She further elucidated that the ‘fish-rain’ in Agusan is not the first incident recorded.
Several occasions have been recorded in the United States, wherein rainfall brings several different creatures such as frogs and fishes. Other recorded instances are the rain of insects, in various forms.
As for the latest weird phenomena recorded in the Philippines, Chambers explained this can be triggered by a lot of factors, including the one explained by the weather bureau stationed in Agusan.
“The essential skill that scientists bring to such a situation is the ability and habit of mind to immediately turn wild speculation into testable questions, and to identify the evidence that would allow that question to be answered,” Chambers explained.
PAGASA station in Agusan has prior said the ‘fish-rain’ in the area may possibly due to a water sprout from a cumuliform cloud, which vacuumed up fishes from a body of water and then dropped them down as the water sprout dissipated.

The birth of science and majority of its advocates of today always deny the supernatural involvement of any episodes that appear unusual and explain them in their terms that can’t be objectively measured and discerned. Science has always denied God and worse thing it has done it pave the way for many people to even believe there is no God .The rise of the theory of EVOLUTION and the Big bang ultimately erased the face of God from the thoughts of man.This fish rain in Agusan is one the signs of our times.JESUS IS COMING SOON !WE ARE IN THE LAST HOUR !Get read ! The earth is groaning .Large fish stocks dead and washed ashore.Thousand of Deer dead etc. Well, it could have been big showers of rubbish from the smokey mountain next time of unbelievers of God.Those who worship images and devoted their love and adoration to Mary should investigate for the truth.The Bible is the only sole authority of the word of God and not your Catholic priests and its dark false doctrines taught to millions for centuries.
There is always a huge difference between being “skeptical” and being “unbeliever.”
Scientists chose to be skeptical about almost everything to be able to attain truth. And science is all about understanding the nature of things and not denying what seems to be natural. There has never been any scientific journals published denying the existence of God. Even ancient atheist couldn’t directly say God doesn’t exist because they still believe there’s something of higher nature that makes things work.
When you said, “Science has always denied God and worse thing it has done it pave the way for many people to even believe there is no God,” you’re talking something you couldn’t prove and even talking in behalf of other people.
The Theories of Evolution and Big Bang do not even erase the face of God from the thoughts of man. In truth, these theories even led man to think that there should be Someone who started the evolution of man, or caused the Big Bang process. Besides, no man has ever seen the face of God.
Yes, Jesus is coming and everybody knows that! But you don’t know when the “last hour” really is. No one knows when Jesus is coming.
The oil spill in New Zealand is one of the reasons why big fishes die of intoxication. Of course, when they’re dead they will be washed to the shore considering they couldn’t swim against the current of the ocean.
I’m not sure where you found thousands of deers that are dead. But for that, you have thousands of hunters to blame.
The shower of rubbish is relatively common for people living in Smokey Mountain or Payatas dump site. Don’t get me wrong but scavengers often play with garbage.
It’s ironic that you believe in Jesus yet you don’t pay respect to his mother and that’s the truth. Those who scrutinize Mary because millions of people show respect and love for her are the ones who don’t know the truth or blinded by their crooked beliefs.
About the Bible, let me ask you, who did the writing? Who wrote the first Bible? Aren’t they the disciples of Jesus who were also considered priests during their time?
For sure you are not a Catholic because you don’t know what you’re talking and you sound so stupid. Do you even know what a doctrine is? If so, then don’t you think the Bible is a doctrine? Besides what are these dark doctrines you’re talking about.
There is one thing you should know, I hope you’re educated enough, when you say something that needs proof, then show the proof. Otherwise, shut up!
Now, we know how stupid you guys are. You say something you don’t even understand.
I think your right because in our religion we don’t believe in evolution and also the big bang and all theory.Our religion believe that JESUS IS COMING SOON AND WE SHOULD BE READY AND DO ALL GOOD THINGS AND ALWAYS PRAISE AND GLORIFY OUR LORD.” THE ALMIGHTY GOD.May I know what is your religion?
when my friend told me only this morning about de rain of fishes in Agusan, i take it as a joke, now i see it’s true. well, how hard is God trying to call our attention. when i will understand how to follow His Holy Will with Love!
Following God’s will is simply living your life the best you could without hurting others.
I’m sure fish rain in Agusan is God’s will, but he enlightened man’s mind to understand these kinds of phenomena are normal.
These fish are predators. Someone likely wants to infest our rivers and kill Philippine’s natural fish produce.
Well! you all can spout that “Jesus is coming”! Yeah sure, I’ll believe it when I see it, won’t be in your lifetime or 100000 generations from now, if ever! Keep dreaming, after all, that is about the only thing you have, DREAMS!
So, what do you have that we don’t have? Don’t you have dreams as well? Just because you are from the US does not mean you are “superhuman” who makes all things real. And do you have to be a racist to make your point?
Why in the world did you read something from the Philippines, anyway?
Aren’t you so full of yourself being proud to be in the US?
Now I know how the Spaniards and their bible thumping moron missionaries conquered the Philippines so easiely, you people are so naive and innocent, you’ll believe anything. You already had your god(s) before the plaque carrying foreigners arrived and brainwashed you. You exchanged a simple god for a complicated one, one that makes you god “FEARING” instead of god LOVING! think about it!
So, your point is you are a God-Loving person? And that’s what makes you different from the rest of the world? What kind of simple and complicated god are you talking about?
