A huge catfish fell from the sky and knocked down a woman in Philadelphia

A woman was knocked down by a 5-pound catfish in broad daylight near a Philadelphia museum. The fish literally fell from the sky and smacked her in the face, knocking her to the ground. She suffered a cut near her eye and, the experience was probably one of the strangest things to ever happen to her.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 11 September 2016.

The incident happened on Labor Day when she was walking near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and passers-by saw it happen. Her husband reported what happened on Facebook that day.
The best explanation one can give is that a large bird caught the fish and accidentally dropped it on her while flying.
