Tuesday’s column reported on fish falling from the sky in Marksville. In 1956, Fay Swanson noticed a Philippine monkey flopped over her clothesline in San Mateo, Calif. Authorities determined it couldn’t have fallen from a passing plane. Other October events include a 3-pound, foot-long white marble cylinder hitting a farm in Waterville, Ohio. Wallace Baker reported an 18-inch chain landed on his bulldozer in Missouri in 1959. Grady Honeycutt, no relation to Leo, fishing on a 5-acre lake in North Carolina, reported a luminous sphere moving through the sky, dropping to the water near his boat and disintegrating. Ivar Quigley experienced a nine iron falling from the sky in Killarney, Ireland. It blasted through a window at the Golden Nugget Pub, hitting Bernie the Plumber. Fastcast: Pleasant.
