The Oakville Blobs

In 1994, Oakville, WA experienced a rainstorm in which gelatinous blobs around the size of rice grains fell to the earth. One farmhouse owner in particular, Sunny Barclift, investigated the substance and was immediately rushed to the hospital where he complained of nausea and dizziness. When he returned home, he found that one of his cats has passed away from making contact with the substance as well.

Barclift asked his practitioner, Dr. David Litle, to run some tests on the substance and his results were troubling. The substance contained human white blood cells. His findings were reported to Washington State Department of Ecology’s hazardous materials spill response unit, where they not only confirmed the presence of white blood cells but discovered bacteria that is usually found in the digestive system of human beings. Many theories have been presented to explain the appearance of the blobs, but none of them have proved to be correct.
