THE freak phenomenon of fish raining from the sky continued with another load found bucketing down in a Territory community.
The small bait could be found en masse at the airport strip in Lajamanu - about 550km southwest of Katherine. Territory politician Rob Knight was flabbergasted to find the fish on the red soil on the edge of the Tanami Desert - hundreds of kilometres from Lake Argyle and Lake Elliot. "These fish had not long been on the ground," he said. The NT News reported on February 28 last year how Lajamanu was covered not once, but twice, by fish falling from the sky.
Local Aged Care Centre co-ordinator Christine Balmer said then she had to pinch herself when she found "hundreds".
"These fish were alive when they hit the ground," she said.
A tornado may be responsible for the phenomenon.
But Mr Knight speculated increased UFO activity in the Top End, as often reported in the NT News was behind the wacky appearance.
