Mysterious Hail in Morgny-la-Pommeraye

Summary

On March 31, 1979, the village of Morgny-la-Pommeraye in France experienced an unusual hailfall that caught locals by surprise. The gendarmerie was called to the train station parking lot, where ice fragments were scattered over a thirty-meter stretch. Although there were no injuries or property damage, one piece of ice stood out due to the presence of beige and red substances. Further analysis suggested these could be vegetable or animal fats, possibly from an airborne object. The location, situated under a heavily used air corridor, is not uncommon for such events, which can be explained by unusual weather conditions.
