Blue balls mystery close to being solved
Just to prove that rural England is truly weird -this story explains the strange phenomena of “blue balls” falling from the sky in Dorset – their origin is still to be determined – does anyone else remember Eric Von Daniken? The article goes on to tell us:
“They have provoked much speculation — some serious, many tongue-in-cheek. But scientists believe they are close to solving the mystery of the blue balls that (apparently) rained down on a garden in Dorset.Bournemouth resident Steve Hornsby reported how the sky turned dark, then yellow, then blue, transparent, “jelly-like” balls falling out of the sky during what he thought was a hailstorm.
He wondered if they had dropped out of a plane. Others thought they may have been eggs from a marine animal, possibly dropped by a bird. Some of the more fanciful suggestions were that they might be the bodily secretions of angels while others began to prepare for an alien invasion.
A jar of the objects was taken to the school of applied sciences at Bournemouth University, which provided an initial analysis on Tuesday”
