Fish Falls from Sky, Causes New Jersey Power Outage

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN

A power outage in a New Jersey neighborhood was caused by an osprey dropping a fish onto power lines, according to Jersey Central Power and Light Company. The incident, which impacted around 2,100 people, lasted less than two hours. The Sayreville Police Department humorously named the deceased fish Gilligan and jokingly pointed a finger at the osprey as the suspect. The area has a large presence of ospreys, and the electric company has a program to protect and relocate their nests.
