Acid Rain[edit]

Can someone please give a reference to the "most longtime residents of Oakville claimed this never happened" part? I have a friend in Oakville, who can definetly confirm that this happened.

I live about a half hours drive from Oakville and if the whole gelatinous goo from sky thing wasn't true, I would have heard about it. I'm just going to go ahead and remove that part. Redtitan 03:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Acid rain would be a good explanation if A) It was a normal liquid consistency and B) It didn't have biological ingredients. This is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard of, and I don't think it was anything malicious, but it can't be just acid rain. That sounds like a "Here, now shut up and go away" official made-up answer. It could be jellyfish...but then how'd the human parts get in there? Ypsidan (talk) 19:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article, but it doesn't seem to be reputable: http://listverse.com/2010/01/14/10-more-enigmas-that-defy-explanation/ Kevin chen2003 (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also look up "Star jelly" in Wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.243.99.13 (talk) 01:55, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see a more reputable source for the blob rain section. The two links provided seem like pretty weak evidence. Does anyone have a news article or something?184.187.191.254 (talk) 03:32, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the picture of it going around just looks like old frogspawn you know — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.72.43 (talk) 07:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the blobs are salamander eggs, specifically: northwestern salamanders. a quick image search leads to the original pictures — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.89.135.230 (talk) 18:17, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blobs?[edit]

I removed this section (again) because (again) there is no reliable source. Unsolved mysteries is a provocative TV show, not a source for an encyclopedia, and google didn't return any sources that would be RS either. Noformation (talk) 23:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Unsolved Mysteries page is a reliable source for the claim that this town has been featured by Unsolved Mysteries because it directly supports the claim. Being featured on national television is a notable event. For the rest of this section, I can also use these 1994 articles to talk about the blobs: Observer-Reporter The Post and Courier Arizona Daily Star Fort Worth Star-Telegram The Free Lance-Star --184.4.202.66 (talk) 21:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources look good, thanks for digging them up. N^oformation ^Talk 21:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
