Ashes falling from sky for no reason 😞

[PeroZG]

I was once chilling in the playground with my friend then I saw something black falling from sky later I discovered that they were ashes but there was no sign of an aircraft in the sky the sky was clear as it was the 6 PM of a summer day.

I lives in a plain area in India and there is neither any industrial area nor any wildlife or forests around my area (Industrial area is 20 km away from me and wildlife will be 100 to 200 km from me)the weather was normal like a normal day and as I said I live in plains there is no volcano in my area for about 2000 km.

And also there was no meteor in the sky because I wasn't able to hear any weird sound.The ashes only smelled like burn and nothing else.

Please help me on my strange, mysterious phenomenon it is not any regular phenomenon it is very strange to me it scares me out.

Ashes from a volcano can be transported 2000 km by the air.

More likely is maybe that a tornado sucked up those ashes and that the air transported them to your location?

What do the older folk at your location have to say about those ashes?

Possibly from a bonfire some distance away - ashes can be carried up by the heat and, depending on the weather conditions, get carried quite a distance before falling to the ground.   And there may not have been any obvious smoke.

I meant I am more than 2000km from any volcano I asked the Meta AI and it said that I am 2350km from an active volcano but it's ashes fall wouldn't typically reach my location.

The tornado thing might be true in one place but there were no tornadoes in my area for about 5-6 months.

But I haven't asked any old person yet I know that they would also say those things that I got from the internet.

Btw Thanks for your time to reply my problem and give an answer although it wasn't the case but thanks for it.

There may be a bonfire nearby but I live in a wall covered colony + It was the evening of summer and there was no sign of any wind for the ashes to travel this long.

Thanks to you for taking your time and replying to my problem although it was a short and very senseful reply but I think it's not true.

Maybe someone was burning something.

I know there are lots of farms in India, and field burning maybe the reason.

Don't Indians burn their dead along the river? I've seen a few vids that show this practice in India.

Did you examine the ashes? Some, like wood and paper ashes, are easy to identify. Have you considered those possibilities as well things like wildfire or waste burning ash? A practical explanation exists, you just need to figure it out.

I know that but there are no farms in my area for about 15-20 km.

The ashes weren't very soft that's the thing i figured out.

Yes, but the river which is closest to me will be 1 km (not so far) but its in a deep place from my house.

1 klick is nothing for ash to travel. Perhaps the prevailing winds changed direction for a while. Happens where I live all the time. One day clear skies, next day smoky with ash falling from forest fires.

Also volcanic ash can travel around the globe before settling, and it's much heavier than wood ash.

Regards.

It wasn't strange, it wasn't mysterious.  It's called the Wind.  Same reason in Texas sometimes our sky is hazy from the Saharan Sand Storms.

And just because it doesn't feel windy where you are standing doesn't mean it's not windy in the higher atmosphere.

I read full thread and i get the idea the OP desires this to be supernatural paranormal and i see zero to support that.

Fortean society based on charles fort writtings about claims of all kinds of odd stuff falling out of the thin air,  most was debunked and some was accounted to natural phenomenon.

When i was a child in orlando fl less than a mile away from home was a fruit packing processing plant that caught on fire, us kids freaked out on the thick falling ashes smoke and stink of marmalade,  we as kids had no clue it was a simple factory fire until parents told us,

Your case is the same it has a mundane explanation you simply do not know what it is just yet.

True, they even burn multiple incent sticks outside too, but mostly fires that burn wet wood, petroleum, toxic chemicles, plastics, rubber tires, vechiles, structures and cables, have very dark very thick clumpes of ashes, that could travel thousands of miles in the right conditions
