An armchair explanation might be that a hurricane or tornado might be able to do this. Water spouts have scooped up fish into the sky only to dump them on land hundreds of miles from shore.

- tonyarkles 7y agoIn Ben Rich's book about the Skunkworks, one of the aircraft (U2? SR71?) was encountering high-altitude insect impacts on their windshields. Turns out they'd been lofted up there by nuclear tests.
- W-Stool 7y agoAbsolutely the best book, everyone here should read it.
- baxtr 7y agoWhy?
- baxtr 7y agoThat was a genuine question... I am really interested in knowing
- permatech 7y agoRead the book and tell us
- tim333 7y agoHave an Amazon review: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R3PX9NZPUHXBI9/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00A2DIW3C https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R3PX9NZPUHXBI9/... Sounds pretty good if you like aircraft tech and the like
- tonyarkles 7y agoI think one of the things that still blows my mind is how quickly they went from concept to first flight on the U2 (18 months?). That's the kind of things a well-focused, finely-tuned, well-funded, "cut the bullshit" engineering organization can accomplish.
- mathattack 7y agoGreat book. And this was my guess for the ISS too.
- tim333 7y agoYou don't really need a hurricane. A regular thunder storm will lift stuff pretty high and then I guess they would mix with the jet stream and the like.
