As a kid I was terrified of quicksand because it cropped up all the time in kids shows and movies. Turns out, growing up in a landlocked county in the UK meant quicksand was never really a big problem and I am yet to encounter it in real life.
I once saw a woman trapped in quicksand on a tiny beach. She had ignored the warning sign. Luckily for her there were lots of people walking along the dike, because it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Someone was already pulling her out when we walked past.
Huh! You should go to Scotland a bit more often. Close to my home, I stepped on what looked like perfectly sound grassy ground and went straight down, leg deep in sucking mud. I was alone and had to pull on grass clumps to get out. My mother went to wash her wellington boots in what looked like a shallow puddle, and actually stepped into an abandoned well. Luckily, most of it had been infilled with gravel, so she didn't go further than thigh-deep, my dad grabbing her quick before she went down too far. But it was scary to us kids. That was in the south of England. A friend saw someone step into a large hidden hole on the waterline of the beach at Alum Bay, Isle Of Wight. She went down up to her neck, and people had to rescue here from that. So, what was that you said about the UK...?
My father had Valley Fever. He contracted it welding gas pipe lines working for Pacific Gas and Electric. It didn't make its'elf known until after 20 years had passed since he had done that kind of work. I caused lesions in his lungs that would bleed and drown him in blood. After they finally figured out what the hell was causing this, they removed 1/2 of one lung and 1/4 of the other. Then they blasted him with chemo and radiation to wipe out any of the remaining virus. At least that is how I remember it. He was diabetic so his kidneys were already compromised. The chemo finished off his kidneys. Basically, Valley Fever triggered a chain of events that eventually killed my father. Apperently it is an ancient virus left over from when Califonia was sea floor. It's able to live in desert soil a couple feet down. So yeah, it's dangerous digging holes in California.
My grandfather caught valley fever in 2018 on a trip to Las Vegas, it, unfortunately, led to his death. This is the only other instance where I've heard of it
@jerry_moo yes. An infection with the fungus coccidioides to be precise. Ancient technically but in the same way humans are Ancient. Its not this long lost sickness, it's been around basically forever
My favorite weird place to live was a desert. There wouldn’t be a cloud in the sky and it would be raining because the wind was so ferocious. Sometimes there would be clouds and you’d see the rain, waaaay up there, being blown away to lands unknown. One time there was a whole inflatable pool that went sailing by. That place was bananas.
Grew up in Placitas, NM we’d get almost horizontal rain in the wet season sometimes. Grandma always told me that it meant that it was a witch’s birthday
I LOVE cool weather and unnaturally high winds because I'm a strange person, and when I spent a month and a half in Africa with my African friend, we stayed during the sweltering hot and humid season, which was quite hellish for me. Then on the very last day of the month and a half we were there, the cool, dry, windy season began. 60 mph winds of heavenly cool air, blowing all day and all night for the next 6 months, and we were getting on a plane to leave. I briefly hated my friend for regulating our schedule.
@@anonimothy5979I understand liking the cool, dry weather and the cool breeze giving you small chills but 60 MPH? 100km wind gusts? Yeah, I’m probably a pussy in this aspect, I hate strong winds in *cold* weather (lets say anything less than 10C/50 F). The winds feel like they’re freezing my very bones and its spreading throughout my body. I don’t think I’ve ever been more physically miserable then when I ended up getting soaked by rainstorm with extremely high wind gusts, even though I once was jumping from a rock that protruded above the water when the tide was coming in with some friends and we didn’t consider the waves. They slammed us against some jagged rocks and I particularly hit a patch of rock full of sea urchins. After that, I saw purple colored spikes being naturally expelled from my feet months after that. But the day it happened, it was a summer holiday and I was a broke 16 year old who both parents worked so I had to get a bus and walk home. Those suckers were buried deep ig All of this to say that yes, you’re a bit of a freak imho but you do you lol
I actually have valley fever, it’s a weird one. The fungal infection is encapsulated in my lungs by calcium deposits (basically bone) making it completely benign, unless the capsules ever pop, in which case I might die. Pretty freaky disease
I had San Joaquin Valley Fever as a child in 1965. It almost killed me. But I got over it. I too had the calcified granulomas in my lungs which always showed up on X-rays and looked like tuberculosis. That is until I actually got tuberculosis from being in the Army and in 1996 I came down with active tuberculosis. And I don't know if it was a remnants of the valley fever in my lungs or that tuberculosis or both, but it ate a hole in my lungs about the size of a half dollar in my right lung. I was coughing up a quart of blood a day until I finally got treated in a hospital with a huge cocktail of antibiotics. And actually the bleeding and coughing up of blood stopped after 2 days of being treated with the antibiotics. But I ended up having to stay in the hospital for about three more weeks until I tested clean of any active germs in my saliva. They kept me in one of those reverse atmosphere type of isolation rooms.. God bless you.
Valley Fever has on tragic occasions been known to kill otherwise healthy people without any obvious risk factors, @@KimiAvary -- my sincerest condolences for the loss of your sister, @BuddhaStephy -- but it is not typically deadly for healthy adults with a fully functional immune system. As with many respiratory illnesses, risk factors like asthma, COPD, immune system dysfunction, and old age increase mortality risk.
@@KimiAvary My sister unfortunately had type 1 diabetes as well. And it’s at about that age that kids with type 1 go through a rebellious phase where they neglect their health and just want to be normal and she wasn’t managing her diabetes very well and it ended up being too much for her body to handle. It was a very rare case but still needs to be taken seriously just in case.
Being from Kerala, I did indeed experience the red rain and it happened twice actually. 2nd time in a small scale. I remember trying to wash my face next morning (here we do collect rain water to be used later on for washing and stuffs because we have 4 months monsoon free water supply season) and noticed that the water is dirty. Then saw it's kinda red. It's not like blood, kinda like coca-cola. Color. Didn't taste or smelled weird. Anyway we all carried on using it but it was a little itchy.
If your Coca-Co!A is red, you have serious problems. Coke is actually the biggest water purifying organization in the world, they've always operated on the theory that pure, clean water is essential for making Coke taste consistently around the world, to standards much above purification standards used for ensuring health in water supplies around the world. And it should be caramel colored dark brown. You may need to get tested for color blindness. Most people think colors blindness is literally not seeing certain colors, but it also causes the brain to pick up false clues to color. I grew up in a house painted dark grey, and I needed friends and family to convince me it wasn't dark blue. Because that shade of grey was exactly how I saw dark blue.
I've never experienced blood rain but I've experienced softball sized hail twice. Both times i thought the whole city was done for. Softball sized ice chunks falling from the sky is terrifying.
Southern California desert, town called "Lake Los Angeles " had cement rain down on it. Came from the Monolith Cement plant in Tehachapi, Ca. 70 miles away.
@@arifhossain9751 Also, Native Americans, a.k.a. Indians were called Redskins (was it because of their skin hue?). In any case, pure correlation and you know what that means! - Aliens confirmed.
I used to be absolutely petrified of acid rain. They made it sound like it was going to be everywhere but I'm glad smarter people than me figured it out and stopped it before it became widespread.
Acid rain was just *slightly* acidic, it damaged building over time. It's a similar problem with slightly acidic soils, you don't put certain kinds of building materials in contact with it coz over time they can very slowly corrode.
A rain of “blood” was mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of AD685: “This year there was in Britain a bloody rain, and milk and butter were turned to blood.”
Living in sudbury Ontario the rocks are black.... i was part of a project tracking ph of lakes in the area and 20 years ago this one lake was ph 2 basically vinegar, now the ph has recovered 6.5 which is much better and wildlife has returned
I experienced tiny baby frogs falling in the rain. I was about 10 yrs old and I remember standing in the street in front of our house catching the tiny frogs.
We occasionally get "blood rain" in Australia, but it's just red desert dust being carried by the wind, and it always leaves a thin reddy-brown layer on all the roads and cars!
Same here in Ireland, we occasionally get the red rain because of dust from the Sahara. I remember the first time, it was really weird seeing all the cars covered with a fine reddish dust for days afterwards. When it was explained in the TV news and newspapers later (pre-internet days), I was gobsmacked that dust could get blown all the way to Ireland from the Sahara. 🤯 It was the first time I realised what a small planet we live on, and that everything really *is* interconnected.
@@GneasYTCwe actually get tons of the Sahara dust over here in the United States. I live in the Southeast, in Georgia. Sometimes our cars are covered with it. In fact there is so much Sahara dust sometimes in the Atlantic Ocean Skies that it just kills the hurricanes because they can't get an updraft started.
1:08 Nitric and sulfuric acid aren’t the only acids; they make up most of the acidity, but there actually is some hydrochloric acid in acid rain. HCl really isn’t insanely dangerous. I’ve touched 38% and just washed it off a few moments later and it was fine. edit for clarity
My mom has valley fever, it’s so weird because at the time she was diagnosed she’d been misdiagnosed because she worked in an office in the city and it had been originally thought that it was mostly found in farmers and those who worked construction jobs.
I was stationed in Djibouti Africa in 2011. Djibouti is one of the hottest most desolate places on Earth with annual rainfall of about 6 inches(compare to Dallas, TX at 36 inches). 30 miles west of the base lies the highly saline lake Assal. The water temperature of the water is around 90 F, it is about 500 feet below see level(Death Valley US is -280 feet). and it is so salty that the water is like syrup(I did swim in it). Normally in the "rainy" season of October and November the winds blow east to west coming off the Indian Ocean or Red Sea. One day in October, there was a wind storm that blew west to east across Lake Assal. That day for about 30 minutes, there was a sprinkle of rain. But the rain was white, and because everyone else was doing it, I tasted the rain and it tasted like a salt shaker. Imagine a place where sometimes instead of acid rain you get salt rain. That day the entire base was coated in a thin film of salt making everything look white. It was the strangest thing I have every personally witnessed.
Writing from Ontario, Canada: my aunt told me about how it used to rain jelly when she was a kid in the late 50s and early 60s. Windshield wipers would just smear it around and they would have to stop the car until the jelly rain stopped. She always figured it had something to do with nuclear bomb testing, but who knows?
Really got stoked with the chair spin opening 😂 Acid rain tho! Like I used to lie awake as a child stressing out. I thought acid rain was gonna melt thru the roof like xenomorph blood.
My weirdest event of something falling from the sky. Was when my hope just slowly dropped off the nearest cloud. I later found out this happens after watching YT videos for some reason. 🤔
As an Arizona native I have a telltale spot on my lungs indicating I had valley fever as a child. It is a fairly common outbreak after the monsoon season and mostly benign when contracted in youth, but can be more severe in adulthood. Kind of weird to consider its geographic range could expand.
You can still see the effects of acid rain in the area I grew up in (East Tennessee). If you go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you can still see huge swaths of trees killed by acid rain back in the '80s and '90s. As for "red rain", my parents could remember seeing in in Sevierville TN back in the '70s. My Dad said it was a thick red rain that coated everything.
@@floridajack7222 You don't know jack about the **Tennessee** Valley Authority, Florida man. The great majority of TVA's power production used to be coal based - and dirty high-sulfur coal at that. We here in Tennessee have been fighting with them for decades to shut that stuff down. It's been largely replaced by cleaner burning natural gas, and a little bit of extra nuclear capacity. As well as TVA no longer exporting energy out of the region, as they used to do a great deal of.
I'm from Western NC. I remember when I was a kid in the 90s, how bad the trees were in the Great Smokey Mountain Park were. I didn't really understand why they were like that from acid rain, but I knew it was bad.
@@nasis18 yea it's amazing how even today you can see whole groups of dead trunks. It made for good kindling when the 2016 wildfires happened. But I can still remember the horror stories that I used to see when I was a kid about acid rain. Used to think if it rained down on me, it would burn off my skin.
In China, Myself and 3 other tourists experienced acid rain. It was very heavy rain so we ran from our bus to our hotel, only exposing ourselves very very briefly. We sat down in the hotel restaurant and after about 2 minutes we all started to notice our arms and necks were getting very irritated and all immediately went to shower it off. Strangely before this event we were at a music festival. As we were leaving, lighting struck the mountain and started a fire that grew very fast. It was a surreal evening.
Once upon a time a small lobster fell from the sky. I live miles away from the coast. I'm still in a city they consider "coastal" but I'm 20 to 25mins from the nearest large beach (and I am close to lots of smaller inlets and such). My hypothesis is a seagull grabbed this little fella and then dropped him by accident. 😅 It was just in the middle of my street. It was jarring though to see a sea creature quite far from the sea.
joe, i LOVE your videos but i'd rlly like to see you add subtitles to them for accessibility! i have learning disabilities that make auditory processing hard and many of my friends are hard of hearing, so it'd make a big difference to make your videos accessible for all people, not only so i among others can enjoy them without struggling, but also so your content can reach more people! (you'd be surprised how the vast majority of youtube edutainment doesn't care about captioning for accessibility)
@@magentasunbringer the auto-captioning is never very functional :/ theyre a great starting point for content creators so they don't hafta subtitle it all from scratch, but they aren't a replacement for actual subtitles
The weirdest rain I ever saw was lots of miniature straw tornadoes raining down on my street. They were these perfect little upside down cone shapes, floating down on a sunny day. Very pretty.
I was a conservation educator during the 80s and 90s. Acid rain was one of the topics I taught to grade school students across my state. Along with PFCs and leaded gasoline and similar, it's one of the things I point to when people feel helpless about climate change. It seems insurmountable and it seems like we're powerless against the fossil fuels and factory farming meat industry and political divide. But regulation works, and it takes a really long time to make an impact on these huge issues, but never give up. They *want* you to give up.
Regulation is one thing, replacing what the entire world economy is based on... People think that the US dollar isn't backed by anything, but its really supported as the "petrodollar" because OPEC decided to price and sell their oil in US dollars. And, maybe the human race deserves to be driven to extinction, or at least end global civilization as we know it. Uncontrolled, run away climate change and the violence that results is really deserved in many ways. Like Armageddon without supernatural forces or a pesky Biblical deity!
I remember reading about the "bloody rain" when I was an undergraduate at my university. I always wanted to know what happened with that study... Many thanks for bringing this up!
I have seen mud rain few years ago...here in eastern India. I noticed it right away...then next day it was in the headlines of local news...never made it to national level though...and i didn't hear any explanation afterwards. I am from foothill of Himalayas and my city is surrounded with lush evergreen forests...so it was not dust or anything for sure. And it rained the day before and after both of which were clear.
Here in Arkansas we had a rain once that dropped fish. I’m certain it was from a tornado or something on the lake like that, but when it rained it was dropping little minnows here and there. Some were even quite alive and flopping about.
My favorite story of something weird falling from the sky was a cow. I don't know how true this is, but apparently some Japanese fishermen were out on the ocean one beautiful sunny day when suddenly a cow fell through their boat, sinking it. What. The frick. Their insurance company didn't really believe them, so they investigated what *really* happened. Turns out, the boat was sunk when a cow fell through it. Out of a clear blue sky. This was just a bit after the fall and break-up of the USSR, and the soldiers of the Red Army, having not been paid in forever, were as hungry as everyone else. Except they had access to an army's worth of supplies and equipment. So these three guys were cruising around the place in a small airplane when they spotted a cow in a field. Fantastic! So they land the plane, somehow manage to get the cow shoved in there, and hurriedly take off again, intending to take her back to their base for dinner. However, the cow, not unreasonably, freaked out, and made such a fuss that the pilot was afraid he'd crash. So, midair or not, they finally just opened the door and shoved her out. Where, several hundred feet further down, she managed to hit a Japanese fishing vessel, sinking it. Joe, if it's true, *please* do a story on it. It's too hilariously (except to the cow -and the fishermen, I suppose!) ridiculous.
As a Slayer fan, I already like the subject of this video: "Trapped in purgatory A lifeless object, alive Awaiting reprisal Death will be their acquittance The sky is turning red Return to power draws near Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears Abolish the rules made of stone Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past Betrayed by many Now ornaments dripping above Awaiting the hour of reprisal Your time slips away Raining blood From a lacerated sky Bleeding its horror Creating my structure Now I shall reign in blood"
Yep, I was a kid in the '80's and was really uncomfortable walking in the rain. And I believe it contributed in me picking up smoking as well when I was 12 because I thought I was doomed anyhow.
An interesting side effect of the acid rain was that the amount of sulfur coming down meant we needed less of it in fertilizer for crops. Still feels good that humanity turned it around even if I buy a lot more sulfur than dad did in the 90's.
There was a "red tide" outbreak one year I visited the gulf coast of Florida, and they said it wouldn't really affect anyone other than dyeing their skin, but still said to not swim.... Well, I swam in the gulf before I heard about it and literally turned orange. Especially anywhere I had metal jewelry on, mostly around the silver and stateless steel rings I used to wear... we drove to the Atlantic side of the panhandle to finish our vacation after that

My dad grew up in Phoenix so we spent a lot of time visiting there ... but it took me living there a second time (went to hs there) as an adult to get Valley Fever. I went to sleep on a Thursday evening feeling like hooey and woke up Saturday afternoon with a friend trying to take me to the ER ... I was groggy but felt ok .... friend said I would wake up with glazed eyes and chug full glasses of water and sweat - never went to the bathroom though ... Doc said it was Valley Fever - got a chest x-ray and I have scar tissue from it ... I live in colder country now and can feel a burning when its really cold over where the scar is - strange feeling. This was in the '80s when all the new construction was being done on Squaw Peak Parkway (or whatever they renamed it to) and South Mountain area, thus a lot of ground was getting disturbed ... as the rest of the family had already left the valley, and I was the only one to get it, so I credit the construction dust.
I was working outside on a patio and a ring fell from the sky. I checked with all the guests and nobody claimed it. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where it came from. I wear the ring to this day.
yes, a crow either a) giving you a present b) dropping it on something hard (your head) to see if it would break open (the ring) and there was something cool inside c) dropping something hard on it (your head) to see if it would break open and there was something cool inside lol. sorry, couldn't help myself
I have not experienced coloured rain but back in the late 1970s in southern England mid-summer. It was a totally clear blue sky, not a cloud anywhere to be seen. I lived on top of a hill about 900ft above sea level so could see most of the horizon for miles, No clouds anywhere, but it started raining heavily solid consistent rain lasted about 10 mins. Have never experienced that again. Oddest weather experience for me to this day.
It happens where I live from time to time, often enough that my grandpa told me that if it rained while the sun was shining one day it was going to rain again the next day as well. He's yet to be wrong on that in my experience
It WAS also killing the trees above a certain altitude on our US mountain tops - or so I was told. On a camping trip in the Catskills, I was told by forestry services that you weren't allowed to camp above a certain elevation because campfires weren't allowed because of the risk of deforestation. You could hike up to the top but if you wanted to camp, you had to go back down below some altitude. And it was visibly noticeable that old growth trees were hanging on but providing no canopy and there was no story of smaller trees to replace the aging ones. Just a few shrubs. In other words, the "forest" was much thinner above that line. The acid rain was MOSTLY caused by the emissions from coal burning plants and was mostly resolved by the scrubbers on the smoke stacks. Meanwhile, acid rain did involve cars in that it was known to be able to damage the finish on your car.
You're right about coal plants and the scrubbers in the smoke stacks. It's got me wondering if huge wildfires could bring it back. I'm not sure, but I think I remember hearing about localised acid rain downwind of some wildfire.
Re wildfired, I don't know. Yes, localized near some foundries. But its a sulfur compound (Sulfur dioxide) that is the main component in acid rain. And that's where the burning of lots of coal comes in to play. So I think power plants were considered the biggest problem. @@eekee6034
8:00 as you were going on about the red cells and aliens, I was about to ask "what about the green and the yellow samples that were found in the region?" makes complete sense now
I live in SW Colorado, and our weather comes from the West. Lots of red dust in Utah and yes, we get (occasionally) red rain full of red dust. It could look like blood.
Kinda relevant, I was on a cruise around a month ago & it started raining heavily near the horizon. While I was watching it, I saw a waterspout start to form. Within a couple of minutes there were 4 right next to each other that kept dying off then coming back even stronger for over half an hour. It was surreal to see.
I saw the same phenomenon while on the ferry from Terschelling to Harlingen (Netherlands) one summer’s evening. According to my then husband who’s originally from the island of Terschelling it’s reasonably common.
Once apon a time I was a sailor , they where amazing to see but bad for the ship ; we called them Sea Sprites and was warned not to get too evolved in watching one as for they usually are in threes so as to avoid them getting close enough to damage or rearrange things for YA . Seen some very large ones that had me convinced that they were a tornado
I was at Dauphin Island once back in the 1970s. It is located about 7 miles out in the ocean from Mobile Bay Alabama. Is connected by a land bridge. You used to have to take a ferry boat to get there. Anyway I was standing on the beach looking out at the ocean and saw this waterspout moving across the waves and it hit two shrimp boats which were close together. It caused both of these shrimp boats to spin round and round and got their nets all tangled up with each other. I'm sure that was a mess to straighten out later.
We had a weird case of "clay" rain about ten years ago here in South Texas. All the droplets left a layer of silt on everything. Not as "cool" as blood... we don't get nice things down here. But I've only ever seen it once and it was strange.
OMG! I know you'll never see this but please know how happy you have made me by doing the spinning thing! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm the one you had told in your livestream awhile back that the spinning was going away! I won't assume it's here to stay (not sure how behind on your videos I am right now 😂) but you have made me very happy in a difficult time in my life ❤
Is that in reference to the previous video where he talks about mythical pictures on old maps like mermaids and dragons and in the same sentence names "volcanoes in Mexico"? lol. If that was intentional, well done. If not, that a really weird coincidence!
@@squirlmyIt's probably a reference to the volcano named Paricutin located in the Mexican state of Michoacán which opened up in the middle of a farmer's cornfield in 1943. I suppose it could be whatever you were talking about too though.
This seems to be refering to the cinder cone eruption of Paricutin which erupted into a farmers field lasting from 1943-1952. Paricutin was the most recent eruption of the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field and is believed to be a monogenic vent, a.k.a. a vent which erupts only once with subsequent eruptions needing to find a new conduit to the surface each time. Specifically its the explosive cindercone which is generally a product of an explosive gas rich lava eruption featuring a pyroclastic component in contrast to the more effusive spatter cone or the entirely explosive maar. The Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field has apparently been active for the last 7 million years erupting on average once every few centuries featuring over 1,400 known volcanic vents ranging from monogenic cinder cones and maars to the ice age stratovolcano Pico de Tancítaro. Older activity seems to have had more mafic magma that in addition to monogenic vents even constructed shield volcanoes while more recent times the magma is more siliceous and thus more explosive. There is also one other documented historical eruption from the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field with the cinder cone known as Jorullo which lasted from 1759 to 1774. Interestingly both were monogenic cindercone vents erupting basaltic andesite to andesite composition magma which began to erupt in late September of that year featuring highly explosive volcanism that rated on the VEI(Volcanic Explosivity Index) as a 4 meaning that they each produced at least 0.1 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash tephra and pyroclastic flow deposits. Jorullo seems to have begun as phreatomagmatic activity as the magma interacted with water but both otherwise involved violent strombolian activity with at least Paricutin even demonstrating the more violent Sub Plinian eruptive activity near its eruptive peak in intensity. A Low VEI 4 is for comparison an order of magnitude larger than what was witnessed during the 2021 eruption of Cumbre Vieja a low end VEI 3 and approaching something on the order of 90 to 100 times smaller than Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai's big eruption which was either a peak VEI 5 or a low VEI 6 (the measurement and uncertainty margins lie directly on the arbitrary boundary for these two categories) Basically its a log 10 scale.
This was awesome! Man I haven’t seen this channel in a while but I am so glad I caught the notification the moment it happened! I am not planning on losing track again. Going to go catch up on a whole lot of Joe Scott videos this week! ❤
Foam in the early 70s was most likely the non-biodegradable detergents that were in widespread use back then. There were stories of rivers filled with this stuff and wind taking it up into the clouds.
Weird phenomena seem to happen quite frequently in China - incl. blood rain & strange colours in the night sky. You didn't talk about water spouts that can carry unusual organisms in the air & rain them elsewhere.
I had an experience with blood rain many years ago. I was a passenger in a car, we were going 100kms an hour on a rural road with trees on both sides. It started to spit rain but not enough to turn on the wipers. Then the driver said to me "That looks like blood." The drops on the windshield were a dark red and many had clotted. We pulled over, I was scared there was an animal caught in the engine. Checked the engine, nothing. Touched and smelt the drops, very strong smell of fresh blood. To this day I have no idea what happened. My best guess is that smoke from a nearby large abattoir was coming down in the rain?
My favorite story of things falling from the sky is when it happened in India and a guy whose UA-cam channel I watch made a video about it and made me snort coffee up my nose by inserting an unexpected History Channel logo into the video. I don't mind that the two scientists speculated about aliens, though. They were careful to say could, might, and possibly, so although it was a bit of a leap, they were just tossing the idea in the air and asking someone to prove it wrong. That's reasonable and is the job of a scientist.
Technically you can say it was aliens, since alien means from a different place. Obviously the different place people usually talk about is somewhere other than this planet, but if something's from a different part of the planet that's still an alien thing. So if you've got austrian algae in India, that is alien algae
My very first dog ever was Boomer. We got him in CA he traveled with us (military) to Virginia, Indiana, Germany, Texas and Arizona. Although elderly by then it was valley fever that took him. He was also the first dog for my two children. Still love you boy.
As a 2k kid who's South Indian, my mom and grandparents would tell the experience of story of this "blood" Rain, Even though southern india is the most educated area throughout india, however people were still used to think that those are a sign of a judgment Day, because back in the day, most people thought the year 2000 is where the end of time and energy, they never actually believed in extraterrestrial stuff but religious things, sad thing about it that these anomalies are normal or was normal sometime in India, but people refused to talk or research about these incidents in scientific perspective
Hey i am a North Indian, but i have never something called as judgement day. So can u tell me if you have some knowledge on it, it sounds interesting !
It's so weird to hear that phone and email spam is still such a problem in the US, here in Sweden most people barely get any at all. I haven't gotten a single phone spam call in like 15 years, and only a handfull of spam emails has gotten through the spam filter for any of the several email providers I've used throughout the years. We also very rarely get any actual "spam" mail, never anything other than bills, local magazines and the odd deals pamphlet for some new local pizza or sushi place.
Yes, what's even stranger is that in a video that describes acid rain being solved by regulation, spam is treated as an intractable problem that regulation couldn't possibly solve. In the 80s I thought Communism would bring dystopia, but it turns out uncontrolled Capitalism is doing just as good a job.
I think the reason that the United States has so much of these scams and spamming going on is because just like in Sweden we have social security for the older people as well.

A similar situation caused the coral blight that nearly wiped out the Elkhorn coral on the reefs in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. In the late 90's I believe. It hitched a ride on Sahara sand in a storm that blew across the Atlantic.
As a kid, I once experienced some seriously red skies. Didn't rain, but in the middle of the day the sky suddenly turned red and stayed like that for the rest of it slowly turning intense yellow. Only in the evening did the sky return back to normal.
Depend so what culture,if its religious, itll have a religious reason.. if theres any hate or bigotry behind that reason, then you'll have that reason mixed with it. lot of conspiracies are based around hate speech, its predictable what country hates what lol.
I grew up in Arizona and Valley fever was discussed as something everyone down there got but most people felt kind of icky for a day or two and then it was gone. Only occasionally did someone get badly sick from it. I suspect even if it's moving around more these days it will still be the same.
welll it’s different for different people. valley fever very well can be fatal. personally. i caught a case of valley fever a little over 2 years ago when i was 15. and it caused severe rashes all over my body and caused me to have a pleural effusion where my sack around my lungs basically filled with fluid slowly drowning me from the inside. i had to take anti fungal medication for 6 months after the diagnosis. i still have pictures of xrays where my right lung was almost completely collapsed and 3/4 filled with fluid.
Lots of people get Covid and only 15-30% have major permanent damage, even fewer die You seem to think that because something doesn’t kill everyone it won’t kill you And that’s one of the reasons we live in a shit world 😂 Wear your seatbelt darlin, wouldn’t want you to be a statistic with that attitude
Best sponsorship video ever! Back in 2018 we were getting DOZENS of robocalls, a day many from India call centers claiming that the sheriff's dept had a warrant for our arrest due to unpaid taxes. Ended up unplugging the phone permanently and got rid of Cox Communications, which had failed again and again to do anything about it.
Red tides are caused by algae blooms so I assumed that red rain might be as well. Valley Fever has been present in the CA Central Valley for a while now. I had family members who lost their pet dog to it (probably from digging in the yard) Every now & then there is a local news story of someone being hospitalized with it. West Nile has also been problematic so mosquito eradication has been implemented. During the housing crisis there were many abandoned houses with unattended undrained pools & hot tubs that became prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Standing water was a big concern & PSAs about it were common for a time. There are devices you can purchase that will agitate the water in your pond or bird bath to prevent larvae. That is preferrable to aerial spraying of pestacides. Climate change has been affecting CA for decades.
When I was a kid in Az. My step father was a very well known vet. We saw about 3-5 cases a week of Vally Fever in dogs and cats. All of which died quickly. So as to show us kids just how deadly it could be , he would allow us to assist in his forensic exploratory surgeries. It was completely devastating to the lungs. It taught us REAL QUICK , to get inside fast , and to get all the animals either in the house or the barn when we saw a sand storm (really more like dirt storms ) coming. Which you could see coming from miles away. Like a half mile tall wall of dirt ..
Wow, you've had quite a lot of experiences as a child. When I was around eight or nine years old I got San Joaquin Valley fever in California. It almost killed me. I still have the calcified granuloma scars in my lungs to this day. I'm 66 now. God bless you.
@@NEW_INSITE When I was 12-13 we moved to Antioch, Ca. Where we did Dog shows all over Cali. We were in the Joaquin valley about 8-10 times a year. Beautiful area ,in fact my mom and younger sister still live in Modesto. But apparently somewhat dangerous also. I’d never heard of that , must have been very scary to go thru that as a child.
I used to work in a carwash in Brisbane, Australia and one day a lot of cars came in with very prominent red streaks all over it after a storm but I guess this is pretty normal in Australia due to the red desert dust being blown east.
@@fajaradi1223 I think it can. My symptoms were more focused on the chest pain and fever of 103+ for days. But it does go into your lungs, so could affect your breathing. But I was told the chest pain was the big added symptom I had. But I’m not a doctor. Just talking from my own experience and what I was told at the time.
I hope you know you featured an optical microscope (twice) not an electron microscope, which you mention was used by Mr. Louis. Two radically different imaging tools
We experienced roof shingles rain once in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I haven't done the hard sciene to prove it, but I believe this was related to the tornado that was going through a neighboring subdivision at the same time.
My brother in CA almost died from valley fever. It presented as pneumonia and by the time doctors realized it wasn’t and switched to different treatments, my brother’s lungs were nearly full of liquid. Don’t mess around with valley fever.
I've seen yellow rain several times in my life. It contained the desert sand from Sahara desert. And once it dried everything was covered in dust. Nothing harmful. But cars left outside got all dirty and dusty. My parents however, experienced nuclear rain just before I was born! Much more severe than acid rain. It came from the clouds that wind carried all the way from Chernobyl disaster. Rain wasn't nuclear, but in the rain was radioactive particles.
I live in Taiwan and apparently fear of acid rain is still very real among people over the age of 50 or so here. People will go to great lengths to avoid getting any amount of rain on their skin. As far as I know, acid rain has never been a serious problem in Taiwan. But fears persist for a long time here. Grandparents hand down the fear to kids, etc. Kinda like how some young Americans are still afraid of "Commies".
Reminds me of the red dwarf episode: Stranger things have happened Only 2 spring to mind, the spontaneous combustion of the mayor of Warsaw in 1546 and that incident in 12th century burgundy when it rained herring
Joe Scott, I am studying sponsor segments in random youtube videos, as I watch them, and THIS video's sponsor segment was 5 minutes and 33 seconds long, which amounts to 33.88% of your video's runtime -- the highest I have encountered so far.
I remember reading about acid rain as a child in 2009 india. And one of the reasons why they said its bad was "marble on taj mahal is starting to turn yellowish and no longer shines in sun light.."
Maybe someone here can explain this weather event to me. When I was much younger I remember having different weather on each side of my house, usually in the summer. It would be super sunny and beautiful on one side and raining hard on the other. I've always been curious about how that happens.
The rain has to stop somewhere. There is a small bridge over a creek near where I live and it is the border between two municipalities. It can be bright and sunny on one side and pouring down rain on the other. It happens all the time there.
@@TheBlueB0mber Thank you. It has always been a bit of a question that pops up in my head from time to time. Did a quick read up and this seems exactly right. It is really neat when it happens though.
I remember having a picnic in our sunny backyard while watching it pour over the neighbours. Rural Victoria, so not as close as this, but it was still surreal and one of my most vivid childhood memories.
I've never had the misfortune of experiencing a Weird Rain Situation myself, but my mum has. She told me once about one day when she was a kid back in the 1960's, walking home from school, when suddenly people around her started screaming and ducking for shelter under nearby awnings and overhangs. She was confused but did the same thing... just in time to avoid getting covered in gigantic beetles. Beetle rain. It rained beetles. Must have been a weird day. I guess the birds were probably happy, though.
I'm 27, but when I was in middle school, acid rain was still being talked about. The textbooks our science classes used were from the late 1980s and early 1990s, so it makes sense that the curriculum included acid rain. Of course, everyone later discovered that the whole acid rain phenomenon was overblown and bogus. Acid rain basically was the global warming alarmism of the 1990s. It didn't need "fixed" because it wasn't a problem in the first place.
As someone from Quebec, you can actually see the effects of acid rain on rock faces. It's kind of insane when you take the time to look at it.
Here too, we had some monuments damaged because of it, mostly limestone ones.
Je me souviens de ces années là et les érablières "brûlées" par l'acide.
You find this in Britain too but usually on listed stone buildings with gothic features. Detail slowly decaying via acid rain
Acid rain.
You can see the effects in the US too, their last president actually turned orange because of it.
As a kid I was terrified of quicksand because it cropped up all the time in kids shows and movies. Turns out, growing up in a landlocked county in the UK meant quicksand was never really a big problem and I am yet to encounter it in real life.
I once saw a woman trapped in quicksand on a tiny beach. She had ignored the warning sign. Luckily for her there were lots of people walking along the dike, because it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Someone was already pulling her out when we walked past.
@@Jack_Russell_Brownit doesn't happen anymore because they passed laws to get rid of mysteries.
Yay!
I think you can actually find it in the Severn Estuary, no joke.
@jcortese3300 was that not where those Asians all drowned about 15yr ago?
Huh! You should go to Scotland a bit more often. Close to my home, I stepped on what looked like perfectly sound grassy ground and went straight down, leg deep in sucking mud. I was alone and had to pull on grass clumps to get out.
My mother went to wash her wellington boots in what looked like a shallow puddle, and actually stepped into an abandoned well. Luckily, most of it had been infilled with gravel, so she didn't go further than thigh-deep, my dad grabbing her quick before she went down too far. But it was scary to us kids.
That was in the south of England.
A friend saw someone step into a large hidden hole on the waterline of the beach at Alum Bay, Isle Of Wight. She went down up to her neck, and people had to rescue here from that.
So, what was that you said about the UK...?
My father had Valley Fever. He contracted it welding gas pipe lines working for Pacific Gas and Electric. It didn't make its'elf known until after 20 years had passed since he had done that kind of work. I caused lesions in his lungs that would bleed and drown him in blood. After they finally figured out what the hell was causing this, they removed 1/2 of one lung and 1/4 of the other. Then they blasted him with chemo and radiation to wipe out any of the remaining virus. At least that is how I remember it. He was diabetic so his kidneys were already compromised. The chemo finished off his kidneys. Basically, Valley Fever triggered a chain of events that eventually killed my father. Apperently it is an ancient virus left over from when Califonia was sea floor. It's able to live in desert soil a couple feet down. So yeah, it's dangerous digging holes in California.
Ancient virus? Any idea what was the scientific name they had for it?
Wait, isn't Valley fever fungal?
My grandfather caught valley fever in 2018 on a trip to Las Vegas, it, unfortunately, led to his death. This is the only other instance where I've heard of it
That’s terrible. May his memory be a blessing.
@jerry_moo yes. An infection with the fungus coccidioides to be precise. Ancient technically but in the same way humans are Ancient. Its not this long lost sickness, it's been around basically forever
My favorite weird place to live was a desert. There wouldn’t be a cloud in the sky and it would be raining because the wind was so ferocious. Sometimes there would be clouds and you’d see the rain, waaaay up there, being blown away to lands unknown. One time there was a whole inflatable pool that went sailing by. That place was bananas.
Grew up in Placitas, NM we’d get almost horizontal rain in the wet season sometimes. Grandma always told me that it meant that it was a witch’s birthday
@@clintbustwood4800well it's always a witch's birthday somewhere. Cheers to that 🍻
Wow where did u live
I LOVE cool weather and unnaturally high winds because I'm a strange person, and when I spent a month and a half in Africa with my African friend, we stayed during the sweltering hot and humid season, which was quite hellish for me. Then on the very last day of the month and a half we were there, the cool, dry, windy season began. 60 mph winds of heavenly cool air, blowing all day and all night for the next 6 months, and we were getting on a plane to leave. I briefly hated my friend for regulating our schedule.
@@anonimothy5979I understand liking the cool, dry weather and the cool breeze giving you small chills but 60 MPH? 100km wind gusts?
Yeah, I’m probably a pussy in this aspect, I hate strong winds in *cold* weather (lets say anything less than 10C/50 F). The winds feel like they’re freezing my very bones and its spreading throughout my body.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more physically miserable then when I ended up getting soaked by rainstorm with extremely high wind gusts, even though I once was jumping from a rock that protruded above the water when the tide was coming in with some friends and we didn’t consider the waves. They slammed us against some jagged rocks and I particularly hit a patch of rock full of sea urchins. After that, I saw purple colored spikes being naturally expelled from my feet months after that. But the day it happened, it was a summer holiday and I was a broke 16 year old who both parents worked so I had to get a bus and walk home. Those suckers were buried deep ig
All of this to say that yes, you’re a bit of a freak imho but you do you lol
I actually have valley fever, it’s a weird one. The fungal infection is encapsulated in my lungs by calcium deposits (basically bone) making it completely benign, unless the capsules ever pop, in which case I might die. Pretty freaky disease
That's terrifying. Sorry to hear you have to deal with this! Mentally as well!
If it pops, can't it just RE-calcify?
I mean it calcified somehow in the first place yea?
I had San Joaquin Valley Fever as a child in 1965. It almost killed me. But I got over it. I too had the calcified granulomas in my lungs which always showed up on X-rays and looked like tuberculosis. That is until I actually got tuberculosis from being in the Army and in 1996 I came down with active tuberculosis. And I don't know if it was a remnants of the valley fever in my lungs or that tuberculosis or both, but it ate a hole in my lungs about the size of a half dollar in my right lung. I was coughing up a quart of blood a day until I finally got treated in a hospital with a huge cocktail of antibiotics. And actually the bleeding and coughing up of blood stopped after 2 days of being treated with the antibiotics. But I ended up having to stay in the hospital for about three more weeks until I tested clean of any active germs in my saliva. They kept me in one of those reverse atmosphere type of isolation rooms.. God bless you.
I'm glad your body was able to think of a unique defense mechanism to stop the spread. That's so lucky
Couldn't antifungals take care of it?

My sister died of valley fever when she was 20 back in 2004. It is scary and most definitely a real thing.
I’m so sorry. Is Valley Fever deadly to everyone who gets it? Or just some people?
Valley Fever has on tragic occasions been known to kill otherwise healthy people without any obvious risk factors, @@KimiAvary -- my sincerest condolences for the loss of your sister, @BuddhaStephy -- but it is not typically deadly for healthy adults with a fully functional immune system. As with many respiratory illnesses, risk factors like asthma, COPD, immune system dysfunction, and old age increase mortality risk.
@@KimiAvary My sister unfortunately had type 1 diabetes as well. And it’s at about that age that kids with type 1 go through a rebellious phase where they neglect their health and just want to be normal and she wasn’t managing her diabetes very well and it ended up being too much for her body to handle. It was a very rare case but still needs to be taken seriously just in case.
Oh great heavens. That's the year I was born (around march) well. I feel sorry for your loss.
Being from Kerala, I did indeed experience the red rain and it happened twice actually. 2nd time in a small scale. I remember trying to wash my face next morning (here we do collect rain water to be used later on for washing and stuffs because we have 4 months monsoon free water supply season) and noticed that the water is dirty. Then saw it's kinda red. It's not like blood, kinda like coca-cola. Color.
Didn't taste or smelled weird. Anyway we all carried on using it but it was a little itchy.
😳
As long as you boil it, should be ... oh wait, the algae multiply at high temperature, 121 C
@@anandsharma7430 we do not drink rain water.
If your Coca-Co!A is red, you have serious problems. Coke is actually the biggest water purifying organization in the world, they've always operated on the theory that pure, clean water is essential for making Coke taste consistently around the world, to standards much above purification standards used for ensuring health in water supplies around the world. And it should be caramel colored dark brown. You may need to get tested for color blindness. Most people think colors blindness is literally not seeing certain colors, but it also causes the brain to pick up false clues to color. I grew up in a house painted dark grey, and I needed friends and family to convince me it wasn't dark blue. Because that shade of grey was exactly how I saw dark blue.
@@chairpantsdon't have to drink it to taste it, they washed their face.
I've never experienced blood rain but I've experienced softball sized hail twice. Both times i thought the whole city was done for. Softball sized ice chunks falling from the sky is terrifying.

I used to be absolutely petrified of acid rain. They made it sound like it was going to be everywhere but I'm glad smarter people than me figured it out and stopped it before it became widespread.
Acid rain was just *slightly* acidic, it damaged building over time. It's a similar problem with slightly acidic soils, you don't put certain kinds of building materials in contact with it coz over time they can very slowly corrode.
As an ecological threat, it was a fraud.
It wasn't seriously acidic I thought 🤷♀️

We occasionally get "blood rain" in Australia, but it's just red desert dust being carried by the wind, and it always leaves a thin reddy-brown layer on all the roads and cars!
In Portugal we occasionally get that from the Sahara.
Same here in Ireland, we occasionally get the red rain because of dust from the Sahara.
I remember the first time, it was really weird seeing all the cars covered with a fine reddish dust for days afterwards.
When it was explained in the TV news and newspapers later (pre-internet days), I was gobsmacked that dust could get blown all the way to Ireland from the Sahara. 🤯
It was the first time I realised what a small planet we live on, and that everything really *is* interconnected.
@@GneasYTCwe actually get tons of the Sahara dust over here in the United States. I live in the Southeast, in Georgia. Sometimes our cars are covered with it. In fact there is so much Sahara dust sometimes in the Atlantic Ocean Skies that it just kills the hurricanes because they can't get an updraft started.

1:08 Nitric and sulfuric acid aren’t the only acids; they make up most of the acidity, but there actually is some hydrochloric acid in acid rain.
HCl really isn’t insanely dangerous. I’ve touched 38% and just washed it off a few moments later and it was fine.
edit for clarity
My mom has valley fever, it’s so weird because at the time she was diagnosed she’d been misdiagnosed because she worked in an office in the city and it had been originally thought that it was mostly found in farmers and those who worked construction jobs.
I was stationed in Djibouti Africa in 2011. Djibouti is one of the hottest most desolate places on Earth with annual rainfall of about 6 inches(compare to Dallas, TX at 36 inches). 30 miles west of the base lies the highly saline lake Assal. The water temperature of the water is around 90 F, it is about 500 feet below see level(Death Valley US is -280 feet). and it is so salty that the water is like syrup(I did swim in it). Normally in the "rainy" season of October and November the winds blow east to west coming off the Indian Ocean or Red Sea. One day in October, there was a wind storm that blew west to east across Lake Assal. That day for about 30 minutes, there was a sprinkle of rain. But the rain was white, and because everyone else was doing it, I tasted the rain and it tasted like a salt shaker. Imagine a place where sometimes instead of acid rain you get salt rain. That day the entire base was coated in a thin film of salt making everything look white. It was the strangest thing I have every personally witnessed.
Writing from Ontario, Canada: my aunt told me about how it used to rain jelly when she was a kid in the late 50s and early 60s.

As an Arizona native I have a telltale spot on my lungs indicating I had valley fever as a child. It is a fairly common outbreak after the monsoon season and mostly benign when contracted in youth, but can be more severe in adulthood. Kind of weird to consider its geographic range could expand.
You can still see the effects of acid rain in the area I grew up in (East Tennessee). If you go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you can still see huge swaths of trees killed by acid rain back in the '80s and '90s. As for "red rain", my parents could remember seeing in in Sevierville TN back in the '70s. My Dad said it was a thick red rain that coated everything.
Thanks TVA. 😉👌

@@floridajack7222 You don't know jack about the **Tennessee** Valley Authority, Florida man.
The great majority of TVA's power production used to be coal based - and dirty high-sulfur coal at that. We here in Tennessee have been fighting with them for decades to shut that stuff down. It's been largely replaced by cleaner burning natural gas, and a little bit of extra nuclear capacity. As well as TVA no longer exporting energy out of the region, as they used to do a great deal of.

EHHHHHHHHH
In China, Myself and 3 other tourists experienced acid rain. It was very heavy rain so we ran from our bus to our hotel, only exposing ourselves very very briefly. We sat down in the hotel restaurant and after about 2 minutes we all started to notice our arms and necks were getting very irritated and all immediately went to shower it off. Strangely before this event we were at a music festival. As we were leaving, lighting struck the mountain and started a fire that grew very fast. It was a surreal evening.
Once upon a time a small lobster fell from the sky. I live miles away from the coast. I'm still in a city they consider "coastal" but I'm 20 to 25mins from the nearest large beach (and I am close to lots of smaller inlets and such). My hypothesis is a seagull grabbed this little fella and then dropped him by accident. 😅 It was just in the middle of my street. It was jarring though to see a sea creature quite far from the sea.

The weirdest rain I ever saw was lots of miniature straw tornadoes raining down on my street. They were these perfect little upside down cone shapes, floating down on a sunny day. Very pretty.
I was a conservation educator during the 80s and 90s. Acid rain was one of the topics I taught to grade school students across my state. Along with PFCs and leaded gasoline and similar, it's one of the things I point to when people feel helpless about climate change. It seems insurmountable and it seems like we're powerless against the fossil fuels and factory farming meat industry and political divide. But regulation works, and it takes a really long time to make an impact on these huge issues, but never give up. They *want* you to give up.
Regulation is one thing, replacing what the entire world economy is based on... People think that the US dollar isn't backed by anything, but its really supported as the "petrodollar" because OPEC decided to price and sell their oil in US dollars. And, maybe the human race deserves to be driven to extinction, or at least end global civilization as we know it. Uncontrolled, run away climate change and the violence that results is really deserved in many ways. Like Armageddon without supernatural forces or a pesky Biblical deity!
Education wasn't as bad then as it is now. The conservators (aka the nutcases) have been playing the long con around the globe.
You should have taught about climate change. Then I wouldn't have to hear about it all the time now.
I do be bein gay doe!
Acid rain scare tactics were 95% a propagandistic lie.
I remember reading about the "bloody rain" when I was an undergraduate at my university. I always wanted to know what happened with that study...
Many thanks for bringing this up!
I have seen mud rain few years ago...here in eastern India. I noticed it right away...then next day it was in the headlines of local news...never made it to national level though...and i didn't hear any explanation afterwards. I am from foothill of Himalayas and my city is surrounded with lush evergreen forests...so it was not dust or anything for sure. And it rained the day before and after both of which were clear.
Here in Arkansas we had a rain once that dropped fish. I’m certain it was from a tornado or something on the lake like that, but when it rained it was dropping little minnows here and there. Some were even quite alive and flopping about.
My favorite story of something weird falling from the sky was a cow.
I don't know how true this is, but apparently some Japanese fishermen were out on the ocean one beautiful sunny day when suddenly a cow fell through their boat, sinking it.
What. The frick.
Their insurance company didn't really believe them, so they investigated what *really* happened.
Turns out, the boat was sunk when a cow fell through it. Out of a clear blue sky.
This was just a bit after the fall and break-up of the USSR, and the soldiers of the Red Army, having not been paid in forever, were as hungry as everyone else.
Except they had access to an army's worth of supplies and equipment.
So these three guys were cruising around the place in a small airplane when they spotted a cow in a field. Fantastic!
So they land the plane, somehow manage to get the cow shoved in there, and hurriedly take off again, intending to take her back to their base for dinner.
However, the cow, not unreasonably, freaked out, and made such a fuss that the pilot was afraid he'd crash.
So, midair or not, they finally just opened the door and shoved her out.
Where, several hundred feet further down, she managed to hit a Japanese fishing vessel, sinking it.
Joe, if it's true, *please* do a story on it. It's too hilariously (except to the cow -and the fishermen, I suppose!) ridiculous.
Is it really that simple? Or is it From a lacerated sky?
Bleeding its horror...
Creating my structure...
As a Slayer fan, I already like the subject of this video:
"Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittance
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many
Now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood"
Yep, I was a kid in the '80's and was really uncomfortable walking in the rain. And I believe it contributed in me picking up smoking as well when I was 12 because I thought I was doomed anyhow.

An interesting side effect of the acid rain was that the amount of sulfur coming down meant we needed less of it in fertilizer for crops. Still feels good that humanity turned it around even if I buy a lot more sulfur than dad did in the 90's.
There was a "red tide" outbreak one year I visited the gulf coast of Florida, and they said it wouldn't really affect anyone other than dyeing their skin, but still said to not swim.... Well, I swam in the gulf before I heard about it and literally turned orange. Especially anywhere I had metal jewelry on, mostly around the silver and stateless steel rings I used to wear... we drove to the Atlantic side of the panhandle to finish our vacation after that
maybe that is what happened to Trump!

The panhandle only has a Gulf side. You went to the Atlantic side of the peninsula.
@@sootymammal2891 yeah that thing. Lol. Only been there twice. We drove from Sanibel Island on the gulf-ish side to Miami. I'm from the north (PA)... I guess that makes more sense looking at the shape of Florida now. Lol. I feel dumb. I should know better! I'm about to turn 40

University of Salamanca?
Didn't know the Salamanca Cartel from Breaking Bad funded a university.
My dad grew up in Phoenix so we spent a lot of time visiting there ... but it took me living there a second time (went to hs there) as an adult to get Valley Fever. I went to sleep on a Thursday evening feeling like hooey and woke up Saturday afternoon with a friend trying to take me to the ER ... I was groggy but felt ok .... friend said I would wake up with glazed eyes and chug full glasses of water and sweat - never went to the bathroom though ... Doc said it was Valley Fever - got a chest x-ray and I have scar tissue from it ... I live in colder country now and can feel a burning when its really cold over where the scar is - strange feeling. This was in the '80s when all the new construction was being done on Squaw Peak Parkway (or whatever they renamed it to) and South Mountain area, thus a lot of ground was getting disturbed ... as the rest of the family had already left the valley, and I was the only one to get it, so I credit the construction dust.
3:41 ngl this was scary

I was working outside on a patio and a ring fell from the sky. I checked with all the guests and nobody claimed it. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where it came from. I wear the ring to this day.
A crow. They pick up shiny things.
yes, a crow either
a) giving you a present
b) dropping it on something hard (your head) to see if it would break open (the ring) and there was something cool inside
c) dropping something hard on it (your head) to see if it would break open and there was something cool inside
lol. sorry, couldn't help myself
I have not experienced coloured rain but back in the late 1970s in southern England mid-summer. It was a totally clear blue sky, not a cloud anywhere to be seen. I lived on top of a hill about 900ft above sea level so could see most of the horizon for miles, No clouds anywhere, but it started raining heavily solid consistent rain lasted about 10 mins. Have never experienced that again. Oddest weather experience for me to this day.
This happens to me in Australia sometimes
It happens where I live from time to time, often enough that my grandpa told me that if it rained while the sun was shining one day it was going to rain again the next day as well. He's yet to be wrong on that in my experience
@@philondezinteresting. my grandpa said the same thing, and I'm Indian.
It WAS also killing the trees above a certain altitude on our US mountain tops - or so I was told. On a camping trip in the Catskills, I was told by forestry services that you weren't allowed to camp above a certain elevation because campfires weren't allowed because of the risk of deforestation. You could hike up to the top but if you wanted to camp, you had to go back down below some altitude. And it was visibly noticeable that old growth trees were hanging on but providing no canopy and there was no story of smaller trees to replace the aging ones. Just a few shrubs. In other words, the "forest" was much thinner above that line. The acid rain was MOSTLY caused by the emissions from coal burning plants and was mostly resolved by the scrubbers on the smoke stacks. Meanwhile, acid rain did involve cars in that it was known to be able to damage the finish on your car.
You're right about coal plants and the scrubbers in the smoke stacks. It's got me wondering if huge wildfires could bring it back. I'm not sure, but I think I remember hearing about localised acid rain downwind of some wildfire.
Re wildfired, I don't know. Yes, localized near some foundries. But its a sulfur compound (Sulfur dioxide) that is the main component in acid rain. And that's where the burning of lots of coal comes in to play. So I think power plants were considered the biggest problem. @@eekee6034
8:00 as you were going on about the red cells and aliens, I was about to ask "what about the green and the yellow samples that were found in the region?" makes complete sense now
I live in SW Colorado, and our weather comes from the West. Lots of red dust in Utah and yes, we get (occasionally) red rain full of red dust. It could look like blood.

Kinda relevant, I was on a cruise around a month ago & it started raining heavily near the horizon. While I was watching it, I saw a waterspout start to form. Within a couple of minutes there were 4 right next to each other that kept dying off then coming back even stronger for over half an hour. It was surreal to see.
I saw the same phenomenon while on the ferry from Terschelling to Harlingen (Netherlands) one summer’s evening. According to my then husband who’s originally from the island of Terschelling it’s reasonably common.
Once apon a time I was a sailor , they where amazing to see but bad for the ship ; we called them Sea Sprites and was warned not to get too evolved in watching one as for they usually are in threes so as to avoid them getting close enough to damage or rearrange things for YA . Seen some very large ones that had me convinced that they were a tornado
I was at Dauphin Island once back in the 1970s. It is located about 7 miles out in the ocean from Mobile Bay Alabama. Is connected by a land bridge. You used to have to take a ferry boat to get there. Anyway I was standing on the beach looking out at the ocean and saw this waterspout moving across the waves and it hit two shrimp boats which were close together. It caused both of these shrimp boats to spin round and round and got their nets all tangled up with each other. I'm sure that was a mess to straighten out later.
We had a weird case of "clay" rain about ten years ago here in South Texas. All the droplets left a layer of silt on everything. Not as "cool" as blood... we don't get nice things down here. But I've only ever seen it once and it was strange.
OMG! I know you'll never see this but please know how happy you have made me by doing the spinning thing! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm the one you had told in your livestream awhile back that the spinning was going away! I won't assume it's here to stay (not sure how behind on your videos I am right now 😂) but you have made me very happy in a difficult time in my life ❤
You should cover the story of the volcano that appeared on a farm in Mexico during WW2
Is that in reference to the previous video where he talks about mythical pictures on old maps like mermaids and dragons and in the same sentence names "volcanoes in Mexico"? lol. If that was intentional, well done. If not, that a really weird coincidence!
@@squirlmyIt's probably a reference to the volcano named Paricutin located in the Mexican state of Michoacán which opened up in the middle of a farmer's cornfield in 1943. I suppose it could be whatever you were talking about too though.
This seems to be refering to the cinder cone eruption of Paricutin which erupted into a farmers field lasting from 1943-1952. Paricutin was the most recent eruption of the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field and is believed to be a monogenic vent, a.k.a. a vent which erupts only once with subsequent eruptions needing to find a new conduit to the surface each time. Specifically its the explosive cindercone which is generally a product of an explosive gas rich lava eruption featuring a pyroclastic component in contrast to the more effusive spatter cone or the entirely explosive maar.
The Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field has apparently been active for the last 7 million years erupting on average once every few centuries featuring over 1,400 known volcanic vents ranging from monogenic cinder cones and maars to the ice age stratovolcano Pico de Tancítaro. Older activity seems to have had more mafic magma that in addition to monogenic vents even constructed shield volcanoes while more recent times the magma is more siliceous and thus more explosive.
There is also one other documented historical eruption from the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field with the cinder cone known as Jorullo which lasted from 1759 to 1774.
Interestingly both were monogenic cindercone vents erupting basaltic andesite to andesite composition magma which began to erupt in late September of that year featuring highly explosive volcanism that rated on the VEI(Volcanic Explosivity Index) as a 4 meaning that they each produced at least 0.1 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash tephra and pyroclastic flow deposits. Jorullo seems to have begun as phreatomagmatic activity as the magma interacted with water but both otherwise involved violent strombolian activity with at least Paricutin even demonstrating the more violent Sub Plinian eruptive activity near its eruptive peak in intensity.
A Low VEI 4 is for comparison an order of magnitude larger than what was witnessed during the 2021 eruption of Cumbre Vieja a low end VEI 3 and approaching something on the order of 90 to 100 times smaller than Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai's big eruption which was either a peak VEI 5 or a low VEI 6 (the measurement and uncertainty margins lie directly on the arbitrary boundary for these two categories)
Basically its a log 10 scale.
This was awesome! Man I haven’t seen this channel in a while but I am so glad I caught the notification the moment it happened! I am not planning on losing track again. Going to go catch up on a whole lot of Joe Scott videos this week! ❤
Twice in the early '70's I saw foam falling from the sky. Once in southern NH, and once in southeast Massachusetts. Never knew what caused it.
Foam in the early 70s was most likely the non-biodegradable detergents that were in widespread use back then. There were stories of rivers filled with this stuff and wind taking it up into the clouds.
Weird phenomena seem to happen quite frequently in China - incl. blood rain & strange colours in the night sky.
You didn't talk about water spouts that can carry unusual organisms in the air & rain them elsewhere.
I had an experience with blood rain many years ago. I was a passenger in a car, we were going 100kms an hour on a rural road with trees on both sides. It started to spit rain but not enough to turn on the wipers. Then the driver said to me "That looks like blood." The drops on the windshield were a dark red and many had clotted. We pulled over, I was scared there was an animal caught in the engine. Checked the engine, nothing. Touched and smelt the drops, very strong smell of fresh blood. To this day I have no idea what happened. My best guess is that smoke from a nearby large abattoir was coming down in the rain?
Because Slayer, that's why.
There it is! 🤘
My favorite story of things falling from the sky is when it happened in India and a guy whose UA-cam channel I watch made a video about it and made me snort coffee up my nose by inserting an unexpected History Channel logo into the video.
I don't mind that the two scientists speculated about aliens, though. They were careful to say could, might, and possibly, so although it was a bit of a leap, they were just tossing the idea in the air and asking someone to prove it wrong. That's reasonable and is the job of a scientist.
Technically you can say it was aliens, since alien means from a different place. Obviously the different place people usually talk about is somewhere other than this planet, but if something's from a different part of the planet that's still an alien thing. So if you've got austrian algae in India, that is alien algae
My very first dog ever was Boomer. We got him in CA he traveled with us (military) to Virginia, Indiana, Germany, Texas and Arizona. Although elderly by then it was valley fever that took him. He was also the first dog for my two children. Still love you boy.
As a 2k kid who's South Indian, my mom and grandparents would tell the experience of story of this "blood" Rain, Even though southern india is the most educated area throughout india, however people were still used to think that those are a sign of a judgment Day, because back in the day, most people thought the year 2000 is where the end of time and energy, they never actually believed in extraterrestrial stuff but religious things, sad thing about it that these anomalies are normal or was normal sometime in India, but people refused to talk or research about these incidents in scientific perspective
Hey i am a North Indian, but i have never something called as judgement day. So can u tell me if you have some knowledge on it, it sounds interesting !
It's so weird to hear that phone and email spam is still such a problem in the US, here in Sweden most people barely get any at all. I haven't gotten a single phone spam call in like 15 years, and only a handfull of spam emails has gotten through the spam filter for any of the several email providers I've used throughout the years.
We also very rarely get any actual "spam" mail, never anything other than bills, local magazines and the odd deals pamphlet for some new local pizza or sushi place.
Yes, what's even stranger is that in a video that describes acid rain being solved by regulation, spam is treated as an intractable problem that regulation couldn't possibly solve. In the 80s I thought Communism would bring dystopia, but it turns out uncontrolled Capitalism is doing just as good a job.
Spam is an enormous issue in Australia, they get bots to call every number in succession
I think the reason that the United States has so much of these scams and spamming going on is because just like in Sweden we have social security for the older people as well. But there's just such a larger population in the United States that many of the scammers, especially those from India, find the United States is a very easy target. God bless you.
You see! What's going to happen is because you said it's never aliens, soon, it's going to be aliens and no one's going to think it's aliens but it's totally going to be aliens. Great video! Once again. Thank you so much.
Lol. I like your style 😅
Those pesky fricken aliens man
It was ALWAYS aliens !
The aliens were always just the friends you made along the way. 😝👽👾
Boy who cried aliens
Yeah! Chair spin! Thank you. 😅
A similar situation caused the coral blight that nearly wiped out the Elkhorn coral on the reefs in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. In the late 90's I believe. It hitched a ride on Sahara sand in a storm that blew across the Atlantic.
algae that grows in clouds sounds like something straight out of a fantasy story. What a neat concept.
As a kid, I once experienced some seriously red skies. Didn't rain, but in the middle of the day the sky suddenly turned red and stayed like that for the rest of it slowly turning intense yellow. Only in the evening did the sky return back to normal.
You already know conspiracy theorists are gonna say blood rain was caused by aliens to create more chaos
Depend so what culture,if its religious, itll have a religious reason.. if theres any hate or bigotry behind that reason, then you'll have that reason mixed with it. lot of conspiracies are based around hate speech, its predictable what country hates what lol.
I grew up in Arizona and Valley fever was discussed as something everyone down there got but most people felt kind of icky for a day or two and then it was gone. Only occasionally did someone get badly sick from it. I suspect even if it's moving around more these days it will still be the same.
welll it’s different for different people. valley fever very well can be fatal. personally. i caught a case of valley fever a little over 2 years ago when i was 15. and it caused severe rashes all over my body and caused me to have a pleural effusion where my sack around my lungs basically filled with fluid slowly drowning me from the inside. i had to take anti fungal medication for 6 months after the diagnosis. i still have pictures of xrays where my right lung was almost completely collapsed and 3/4 filled with fluid.
Lots of people get Covid and only 15-30% have major permanent damage, even fewer die
You seem to think that because something doesn’t kill everyone it won’t kill you
And that’s one of the reasons we live in a shit world 😂
Wear your seatbelt darlin, wouldn’t want you to be a statistic with that attitude
I'm from Kerala...we grew up hearing about this.There's even a malayalam movie (malayalam is the language in kerala) about this called Red Rain.
Best sponsorship video ever! Back in 2018 we were getting DOZENS of robocalls, a day many from India call centers claiming that the sheriff's dept had a warrant for our arrest due to unpaid taxes. Ended up unplugging the phone permanently and got rid of Cox Communications, which had failed again and again to do anything about it.
Red tides are caused by algae blooms so I assumed that red rain might be as well. Valley Fever has been present in the CA Central Valley for a while now. I had family members who lost their pet dog to it (probably from digging in the yard) Every now & then there is a local news story of someone being hospitalized with it. West Nile has also been problematic so mosquito eradication has been implemented. During the housing crisis there were many abandoned houses with unattended undrained pools & hot tubs that became prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Standing water was a big concern & PSAs about it were common for a time. There are devices you can purchase that will agitate the water in your pond or bird bath to prevent larvae. That is preferrable to aerial spraying of pestacides. Climate change has been affecting CA for decades.
8:30 I want to apologize to India on behalf of all Austrians. 🙏
I actually do remember acid rain.
When I was a kid in Az. My step father was a very well known vet. We saw about 3-5 cases a week of Vally Fever in dogs and cats. All of which died quickly. So as to show us kids just how deadly it could be , he would allow us to assist in his forensic exploratory surgeries. It was completely devastating to the lungs. It taught us REAL QUICK , to get inside fast , and to get all the animals either in the house or the barn when we saw a sand storm (really more like dirt storms ) coming. Which you could see coming from miles away. Like a half mile tall wall of dirt ..
Wow, you've had quite a lot of experiences as a child. When I was around eight or nine years old I got San Joaquin Valley fever in California. It almost killed me. I still have the calcified granuloma scars in my lungs to this day. I'm 66 now. God bless you.
@@NEW_INSITE
Glad your still with us. 🙏🙏
@@NEW_INSITE
When I was 12-13 we moved to Antioch, Ca. Where we did Dog shows all over Cali. We were in the Joaquin valley about 8-10 times a year. Beautiful area ,in fact my mom and younger sister still live in Modesto. But apparently somewhat dangerous also. I’d never heard of that , must have been very scary to go thru that as a child.
I used to work in a carwash in Brisbane, Australia and one day a lot of cars came in with very prominent red streaks all over it after a storm but I guess this is pretty normal in Australia due to the red desert dust being blown east.
I've had Valley Fever. It sucks. It felt like the flu, but with added chest pains. High fever for multiple days... it was not fun at all.
Does it comes with trouble breathing like asthma?
@@fajaradi1223 I think it can. My symptoms were more focused on the chest pain and fever of 103+ for days. But it does go into your lungs, so could affect your breathing. But I was told the chest pain was the big added symptom I had.
But I’m not a doctor. Just talking from my own experience and what I was told at the time.
I hope you know you featured an optical microscope (twice) not an electron microscope, which you mention was used by Mr. Louis. Two radically different imaging tools
We experienced roof shingles rain once in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I haven't done the hard sciene to prove it, but I believe this was related to the tornado that was going through a neighboring subdivision at the same time.
My brother in CA almost died from valley fever. It presented as pneumonia and by the time doctors realized it wasn’t and switched to different treatments, my brother’s lungs were nearly full of liquid. Don’t mess around with valley fever.
I've seen yellow rain several times in my life. It contained the desert sand from Sahara desert. And once it dried everything was covered in dust. Nothing harmful. But cars left outside got all dirty and dusty. My parents however, experienced nuclear rain just before I was born! Much more severe than acid rain. It came from the clouds that wind carried all the way from Chernobyl disaster. Rain wasn't nuclear, but in the rain was radioactive particles.
Don't drink the yellow rain, and don't eat the yellow snow.
I live in Taiwan and apparently fear of acid rain is still very real among people over the age of 50 or so here. People will go to great lengths to avoid getting any amount of rain on their skin.
As far as I know, acid rain has never been a serious problem in Taiwan. But fears persist for a long time here. Grandparents hand down the fear to kids, etc. Kinda like how some young Americans are still afraid of "Commies".
Oh, they should be afraid of commies.

Coloured rain could be fun, but...well...not like this, thanks.
Joe Scott, I am studying sponsor segments in random youtube videos, as I watch them, and THIS video's sponsor segment was 5 minutes and 33 seconds long, which amounts to 33.88% of your video's runtime -- the highest I have encountered so far.
I remember reading about acid rain as a child in 2009 india. And one of the reasons why they said its bad was "marble on taj mahal is starting to turn yellowish and no longer shines in sun light.."
Maybe someone here can explain this weather event to me. When I was much younger I remember having different weather on each side of my house, usually in the summer. It would be super sunny and beautiful on one side and raining hard on the other. I've always been curious about how that happens.
it's called a cloudburst.
The rain has to stop somewhere. There is a small bridge over a creek near where I live and it is the border between two municipalities. It can be bright and sunny on one side and pouring down rain on the other. It happens all the time there.
@@TheBlueB0mber Thank you. It has always been a bit of a question that pops up in my head from time to time. Did a quick read up and this seems exactly right.
It is really neat when it happens though.
I remember having a picnic in our sunny backyard while watching it pour over the neighbours. Rural Victoria, so not as close as this, but it was still surreal and one of my most vivid childhood memories.
Hey I've seen that a few times also. A system has to start & end somewhere right? Some people get to be right on the edge.
Sponsor segment over 5 minutes? That's weak.

SLAYER INTESIFIES
I've never had the misfortune of experiencing a Weird Rain Situation myself, but my mum has. She told me once about one day when she was a kid back in the 1960's, walking home from school, when suddenly people around her started screaming and ducking for shelter under nearby awnings and overhangs. She was confused but did the same thing... just in time to avoid getting covered in gigantic beetles.
Beetle rain. It rained beetles. Must have been a weird day. I guess the birds were probably happy, though.
A close friend of mine, Joe Dirt, once found a space peanut from the sky. It was totally awesome!
When more than a third of your video runtime is sponsor content... Dude, everything ok?

It was alien to India. No?
1:13 - I didn’t realize that we had a lot of marine life in our lakes..
Even small ponds can sustain life. The great lakes can house billions of fish.
I was trying to make a joke because marine life implies ocean creatures specifically and not freshwater species like he was talking about.
I'm 27, but when I was in middle school, acid rain was still being talked about. The textbooks our science classes used were from the late 1980s and early 1990s, so it makes sense that the curriculum included acid rain. Of course, everyone later discovered that the whole acid rain phenomenon was overblown and bogus. Acid rain basically was the global warming alarmism of the 1990s. It didn't need "fixed" because it wasn't a problem in the first place.
