Things What Done Fell from the Sky: Raining Fire

For roughly 10 minutes on the night of October 18^th, 1867, fire reportedly fell from the sky over Thames Ditton, Surrey, England. The following morning, puddles and rainwater tanks were, "Thickly covered with a deposit of sulfur."

A couple of weeks later, eyewitnesses in Chatham, England claimed to have seen numerous black discs in the sky above. These disks were propelled by some unknown means that produced smoke.
