Rocks Falling From the Sky!
Ever had this happen?
I was one the interstate on my way to work, and just started getting pellet my small rocks... There is no one really around me. I look ahead. There is a Semi hauling a load of something, it's pretty far up, but I guess that stuff can travel, so I figure it's gravel it's carrying and that's what's up. So I speed up to pass it, but this truck is moving slow as molasses in front of me (only 2 lane I-25). Get past the Semi, it still does not stop... well, maybe it's the truck in front of me? I pass him too... It still does not stop... Crazy! It's coming down hard too! I scan around, there is another Semi with similar rig probably another 1/4 mile up,and no way it's that, could it be? I hit the throttle hard, and the rocks keep hitting me... I blow past the semi, still didn't stop, only things around are a few little Sedans and such... Where are the rocks coming from?...
Another few miles and it stops... I am really lost on where those things were coming from... Not windy... clear day... very little traffic. Just a hail of pebbles... Other drivers looked a little confused too...
Any thoughts? Was it a flock of any migrating rocks? Was I just being blind to something? Could a truck carrying gravel miles ahead be sending it that far back? I am clearly missing something I should have seen or been/be aware of.
Thanks

I too have been on the receiving end of such mystery debris. Eventually found a large tractor-trailer dump rig hauling sand with the load uncovered. That sucker was like a mile and a half ahead of me. The sand was blowing out and every vehicle that was behind it just kept the sand airborne.

It could have been pea gravel from an un-tarped load. Pea gravel is just the right size to be caught in a car or truck's treads and thrown airborne again and again. The offending load could have been miles ahead of you. Seen it happen before.

All the excusses above are valid and good, but they could have come from as far as
3000 miles away. Its been recorded of fish, frogs, turtles, etc falling from the sky.
Could have came from a recent Valcano the worl is a strange place. Also UFO'S.
