It must have fallen from a plane thats all i can come up with.

I've heard of a fish falling from the sky,
but somehow this just sounds too far fetched.
If a whole bunch of hands fell from the sky, and
there were witnesses I might buy it.

I once had a rabbit fall out of the sky and bounce off the interstate in front of my car, but a hand would really freak me out.

Coulda been aliens dumping their nightly catch.

fox just mentioned this story
and made a cheesy "all hands on deck" joke

but in all seriousness, that is some freaky (yeah you know the word)
I would love to find out more details though, like had it been decomposing, skin color, type of cut, etc, etc

you know what would be really be freaky is if someone come forward to claim their hand

Cant they do a DNA test to find out whose hand it is? I wonder if the guy looked around and saw any planes anywhere. Where else could it have come from?

Why not just fingerprint him?

When I was younger, I was reading a book on weather, and in the book, there was a part about people who witnessed "raining fish" in the medieval ages. From what i can remember, the book said that this was probably caused by fish getting sucked up into a cloud by high winds, water sprout, or a tornado. I can't remember all of the info correctly, but I think that was the general idea.

You know it may have come from the water. The boats prop could have hit the body or the hand kicking it up and onto the boat.

Didn't see anything about damage to the boat. I would think it would have damaged the boat if this hand came from the sky. Of course that depends on the altitude of the plain, and weight of the hand. But I would imagine it would have caused some damage if not ttl damage.

I see where you are coming from Kinglizard.
