For a full three minutes one sunny, cloudless day on August 1st, 1869, flesh and blood fell from the sky, covering two acres of farmland near Los Nietos, California. The farm belonged to a J. Hudson, who said short, fine hairs fell along with the flesh and blood. The flesh fell in particles, as well as in strips from 1-6" in length.
Cursory research showed that a similar event happened some two months earlier, when flesh and blood rained in nearby Santa Clara County.
