notoneforlovesongs: wondygirl: intotheeyeofaduck: The townspeople of Oakville, Washington, were in for a surprise on August 7, 1994. Instead of their usual downpour of rain, the inhabitants of the small town witnessed countless gelatinous blobs falling from the sky. Once the globs fell, almost everyone in Oakville started to develop severe, flu-like symptoms that lasted anywhere from 7 weeks to 3 months. Finally, after exposure to the goo caused his mother to fall ill, one resident sent a sample of the blobs for testing. What the technicians discovered was shocking – the globs contained human white blood cells. The substance was then brought to the State Department of Health of Washington for further analysis. With another startling reveal, they discovered that the gelatinous blobs had two types of bacteria, one of which is found in the human digestive system. However, no one could successfully identify the blob, and how they were connected to the mysterious sickness that plagued the town. Searched around for info and apparently it’s called Star Jelly or pwdr sêr which means “rot of the stars”. Also it’s been happening for many centuries. Wikipedia entry for Star Jelly Also I am in Washington right now so I am mildly freaked out (it rains and hails almost everyday). Wtf.
