Top Comment from another video said this: “Hi, I'm a biologist, maybe I can help. The particular microbes found in the blobs were specific ones used as agriculture pest control. Also, there was a government agricultural research agency right next to the town. I think they did some experimental crop dusting, and did the wrong coordinates. And because it's the government, they decided to lie low and not claim responsibility.”

[@bretthewitt3890]

The wrong coordinates were over the ocean? I think the pilots would have noticed where they were and not crop dusted the ocean. Bunk.

[@TheTapeLibrary]

This kind of ties in to my theory, obviously I have no idea for sure it's just a theory. My theory is that this potentially wasn't intended to be something sinister, and was an attempt to test out a delivery service to drop something to protect crops in the event of a catastrophe that was either dropped on Oakville as a test (which they believed would be harmless to people but unfortunately wasn't). OR, it was done in a controlled field somewhere else and parts of it were picked up into the clouds and later rained down elsewhere. - copy and pasted so I don't keep writing the same thing out haha.

I live in a town where there is a military base. One day the meteorologist’s notice something on the radar that looked like a big storm, but there was no rain coming down in the area. When they went to the area to investigate, they found small pieces of thin metal (called Chaff) all over the ground. To this day, the military denies having anything to do with it. Past history has shown us that governments/military have no problem conducting experiments on their own people and lying about it. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they were behind this as well.

[@keirfarnum6811]

It makes no sense that the government would cover up chaff. That’s used regularly by military airplanes and was released in large amounts during WWII. Maybe the aliens dropped it this time? 😁

[@scottd1903]

Chaff isn't dangerous, nor would it be used to experiment on a population. It's used to confuse radar on planes and guided missles. As in planes release it to confuse the radar of attacking planes and it's missles. Probably dropped during a training exercise

There have been other similar cases. First, you have an incident that inspired the movie, "The Blob". It's rarely talked about but in 1950 Philadelphia, 2 police officers saw a purple gelatinous blob float down from the sky. When inspected, it was rather large and seemed to pulse, possibly trying to actually move. When they turned their flashlights off, it seemed to glow. It dissolved quickly after hitting the ground. Next there was something called "Angel Hair". In 1917 at the Miracle of Fatima and in the '50s in France, Spain, New Zealand and Australia after UAP sightings there was a sticky, fibrous, white "Angle Hair" like pasta thing that floated down after the UAP's left. It quickly dissolved. The last known sighting of this was in 2014 in Sri Lanka. And lastly, at least I can recall, was the Red Rain that fell in 2012 Sri Lanka. This caused the people to really be worried about impending doom. When inspected by scientists, they unexpectedly found that this rain did have red blood cells, just like the ones found in humans as well as arsenic and silver. This Red Rain was first described in Homer's "Illiad" from either the 7th or 8th century, so it's been around for a while. Our world and what's around us can be so perplexing and unusual and scary and cool, all at the same time. I'm 45 years old and it's still fun to live in a world with child-like amazement, every once in a while. All the best.

During the autumn season me n a friend parade the fields in the wee hours in the uk last year we got caught in a storm thought nothing of it other than wanting to go home as it was such a downpour that our waterproofs were no longer waterproof, by the time we got to the exiting field the rain had stopped but we noticed all over there was gelatinous red blobs that looked like animal entrails but honestly I immediately thought of this case but reassured my friend that it was probably just an ample amount of slime mould or something explanable but honestly who knows

We live in the desert southwest of the U.S. This past winter, we had a a snowfall that was normal for the high-desert altitude. However, the snow seemed almost too light in the way it fell and some of it did not melt off when I got into the heated car. I’d gone thru a drive-thru that a.m. for a coffee and I left the window rolled down as I waited to get to the window. The snow fell into the car, but that was refreshing to me as most of our year is warm if not blazing. Anyway, by the time I returned home after dropping off my child at school, I noticed that there were white fibers now on the door where the snow hit. I flicked at it with a fingernail and you could determine that it looked like cottony fibers. They were on my coat, too. They did not go away unless you wiped them off with a wet towel. Yes, military bases are in my state. Yes, there are exercises done as well, but I heard nothing out of the ordinary. Conspiracy theory is not my bag so I did not pursue it, just thought it strange.

A good friend from highschool told me back in the mid 2010's that he'd been part of this incident. He said he was on a military medical ship off shore and that all the military involvement was to locate a suspected Chinese submarine that was very close off the shore. He said the Chinese submarine had actually been severely crippled via a hit by a torpedo He said the illness that the civilians suffered from resulted from exposure to radiation leaking from the submarine. The submarine got away but radiation remained in the area, killing millions of sea creatures and keeping people sick for a long while. The continued military presence in the area was the Navy trying to trace the submarine's retreat & making sure it didn't contaminate a larger area. He said he treated many sailors for radiation poisoning after the first incident, but that he doesn't believe anyone ever died.

[@Myrdden71]

@@darkforestpyxi I teach history and literature, and I've taken in a lot of info on language in the past 17 years or more. It's fascinating! Missing English letters like one that looks like an uncrossed 'f' are fascinating, and why they disappeared from usage. If you look at the original American documents, you'll often see 'Congrefs' instead of 'Congress.' That uncrossed 'f' was another form of 's' back then, but it was so close to being redundant that people stopped using it. The 'Ye Olde English Pub" was not Ye, but THe. It looks like a "Y", but is not quite the same, and it was the letter for the "th" sound. But it too went away. Stuff like that fascinates me, so I've learned a good deal about it over the years. The "Modern History" channel has a lot of great medieval truth vs. myth stuff on it, and there are several great language channels regarding word origins and such.

That was excellent,I'd not heard of this, clearly it was something strange that had gone on otherwise there wouldn't have been the interest from those three men and missing evidence, sadly they'll never get an answer,all the military have to say is they had nothing to do with it and the case is permanently closed but the sheer thought of the fact that they could do something like this is frightening, using their own civilians without a second thought of what happens to lives ,towns, livestock beggars belief,it really brings home that there is no value in us minions whatsoever

i used to live a few miles down the road in Rochester. we had a dog when i was in high school who started getting huge tumors all over his body and when taken to the vet she asked where we lived and said "OH, you live on *that* side of the train tracks" and refused to elaborate. they were apparently benign but he ended up dying suddenly a year later from sezuires. i honestly couldn't guess what it was, this was around '06/'07 so i never saw anything or personally knew anyone who did, i didn't even find out about this incident until years after i had moved away. i will say that Oakville is home to a largely Native population, the Chehalis Tribe, and well, our government isn't known for their kindness towards Native people. it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were testing something funky and decided that was the best group of people to try it out on

[@Arkie80]

I lived in washington state for nearly a decade and everytime I hear somebody say it's a weird and spooky place it rings a loud bell. That vouldn't possibly be more true. I've never experienced anything like it. The whole place just has a weird fey vibe to it. It makes affects your thoughts. You might say it's just the effect of b2ring surrounded by so much vast and primordial wilderness; that it works on your imagination. But it really does have a strange feel. It has strange effects on the mind. It just seems to be close to some other world. You have to experience it to understand it. I wouldn't call the mood there sinister but it's definitely eerie. That strange and inexplicable things happen there all the time is pretty much a fact of life for residents. Who knows what the weird vibe of the place might influence or tempt somebody to do; particularly the military. If I believed that Great Old Ones existed I'd think one was asleep in Washington for sure.

[@SmartMoufShirts]

OK, here's mine. I have no clue what I think this could bee other than a manufactured bio matter - non natural origin synthetic biological material. However, when anyone shows up to all the places with samples, takes the samples, and shuts down all research, and shuts up all researchers, I start squinting - hard - like both eyes. Now, the only question I didn't hear discussed, or see anyone else in comments address was the crops covered by the goop. Were those crops killed, or harvested and processed with the other crops in the area, then distributed to parts unknown? Have I been eating that goop in my cereal since 1994? I still have some of the cereal I bought in 94 because that stuff is also unidentifiable, synthetic bio matter. All I'm saying is "sketchy" is a generous description of how all of those details happened? For instance, how did that cop who stopped at the gas station get sick? It sounded like he took Haz Mat precautions, and was under cover while stopped. Why was he sick? Of all of the animals - pets, crabs, untold numbers of birds - no agency raised a red flag immediately? I know that the habitat of one owl in Washington state can shut down Congressional progress for a year while they decide "bird or pipeline". So how did this mass genocide of wildlife not trigger any nature loons? Sketchy...

[@stacynapier26]

Ooooo got both of my eyes getting all squinty too . Good one

[@truthseeker2321]

Biological warfare agents cannot survive the ultraviolet rays of the sun, so I wouldn't worry about the possibility that you may have eaten crops that were affected. What you do need to worry about is this- what part of our government is still involved with an outlawed method of warfare that our own government outlawed in the 70s? Was this an experiment in a new delivery system for biological agents, or was it a secret immunization operation against another nations biological threats against us, and the government didn't want that other enemy nation to know that we knew about their plans?
