Fish Falling from Sky Damages Car, Owner Files a Claim

A New Jersey couple suddenly heard their car honking repeatedly outside their home this summer. Cynthia and Jeff Levine ran out to investigate and found that the windshield on their Tesla had been badly damaged, and in the middle of a massive crack lay a fish amid a mess of scales and blood spatter.

Had it been raining fish? Were they filming “Sharknado 5 — Revenge of the Mackerel” nearby?

Or perhaps the culprits were local pranksters. But it was obvious that the small fish had hit the windshield with force since it cause so much damage. Nobody could have thrown the fish that hard.

They went into the house to check their security camera footage, and sure enough: the fish had fallen from the sky, splattering onto the car’s windshield. They called their insurance company, which accepted the claim, although the couple had to fork out $1,000 for their deductible.

A few days later, when the car was in the shop, they saw an eagle flying overhead carrying a fish, and that’s when it dawned on them: one of the local birds must have dropped the fish.

When interviewed by a local TV station, the Mr. Levine said: “I lowered my deductibles, so if any birds are listening, please don’t drop it here because I’m covered now.”
