People around Fairbanks, Alaska have reported seeing these creatures in strange locations. One local store found a live Arctic lamprey in their parking lot. A resident found one on his lawn.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game speculates that the disgusting eel rain may be thanks to gulls fishing the lampreys out of the ocean, then dropping their carcasses onto lawns. The only good news here is that lampreys die soon after spawning, so any glimpse you may catch of one of these horrific monsters will be blessedly brief.
