This week Alecia takes us back to August 1997, Oakville Washington where mysterious gelatinous blobs rained down on the tiny town not once, but six times. To this day no one is certain what these mystery blobs are or why they made the town sick. Let us know your theories as always and keep it twisted!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Twisted humans.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Do you find yourself wanting to know more about the
latest murder, conspiracy, cult, or haunting.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Than this is the podcast for you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Alicia and I'm Sierra and this is Twisted and Uncorked.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, and welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast.
This is episode two eleven, and I have that conspiracy
that I've been promising you guys. But before we get
to speculate wildly, Sierra, do you have a fun fact
for me?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I do have a fun fact. My fun fact is
that horses are more than one horse power. I love
it very interesting in my opinion. Let me see, you
would think I've touchedstons since finding it. There we go. Okay,
So horsepower is a unit of power that measures the
(00:57):
rate at which work is done with one horsepower. It horseticalley,
historically defined as the power needed to lift five hundred
and fifty pounds one foot in one second, but it
was averaged like over a day. So as a horse
(01:23):
continued to work continuously for one full day, how long
it would take that horse to do that thing was
one horse power. Okay, However, one horse when you're not
averaging through the whole entire day because they get fucking
tired eventually. If it's just he's ready to work, horses
are like fourteen horsepower, Okay, they just eventually get tired
(01:46):
and sluggish. Bonus fun fact, even more funner, that's not
the word. Even more fun is that horses basically coined
the term synergy with their horsepower. Horses work better together.
So two horses can do as much horsepower as at
(02:10):
least three horses when they're working together. So one horsepower
plus one horse power does not equal to horsepower. If
one and two are like buds, okay, they work on
the power of friendship. They are better together.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And if you're not watching this on YouTube, you need
to be because Sierra explaining that to me was one
just so cute and two who knew. Also, don't measure
horses on a day when they're tired, that's just mean.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, they averaged it all from one day, Like in
the morning time they were ready to go. At nighttime
they were like, I've been working all fucking.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Dead land somewhere in the middle. That's not giving them
their best, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah. Also, better better together, be friends, everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I love that. That's very cute. Better together means that
you can run away with your horses and buggy when
the hammersmith goes sneaks up on you, and you can
leave all your passengers.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I don't I don't know if that's what that means.
Do not all your passengers better together?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean, the horses said fuck that in that situation.
I was just watching a clip of that. That's what
made me think of it. That And like, what else
do you get to see horses working together anymore other
than a horse and buggy in real life examples?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What's your fun fact?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
My fun fact is that Venus has snow, but it's
made of metal. Happy mountain peaks of Venus, Intense temperatures
and atmospheric pressure cause metallic compounds like galina meaning lead
sulfide and bis muse and night nailed it to vaporize,
(03:57):
rise and then condense back down as metallic snow. But
it's not the white, fluffy snow that we know. It's
actually very toxic, reflective frost made of heavy metals, much
like things falling from the sky. Hint, hint, would you
like to react to that?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Before I can get Galina is a beautiful word, and
dare it needs something so I don't even know what
that was.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, it just means lead, it means lea full fide.
It's just it's just the compound.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Listen. All I know is that lead is dangerous, and
sulfide sounds like sulfur, which is stinky. So danger and
stink create a beautiful word. Also, I just got an
update on my phone that there are new shops, new
items in the Jonas Brothers shop, including one of them
that is a T shirt that just says red dress
(04:51):
with a bunch of different poses of Nick Jonas, and
I want it so bad.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I would just like to point out that that I
was the original one to make a shirt that said
red dress everybody, but that one's quite other. That is awesome.
We should buy it. I think we should buy it.
I'm putting it out there for us. I like that
you had to interrupt that for the Jonas Brothers and
ordering Sierra because today is Nick Jonas's birthday that we
(05:18):
were recording, So how fitting that a red dress T
shirt should come out red dress. So I don't know
how to follow that. Also, I would like to address
something from last week's episode, because one of you is
going to point it out to me either way. So
there was a mysterious banging that neither of us heard
during the recording while I was editing it, and the
(05:40):
whole time, I'm like, what is that? Is she kicking
her desk? Like what is happening underneath there? At no
point do either of us address it. So if in
the middle of Sierra's speaking, you hear we don't know
where it came from, we don't know the source, and
we cannot be held responsible for it, and we are sorry.
(06:02):
There who's shocked? Though? Did you really think you were
going to leave the ghosts behind in your library?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh? This is definitely a different one.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
But yeah, no, I'm not suggesting that it followed you,
which hopefully not. But what's been happening because we did
not talk about it At the end of my Haunted episode,
which was the one.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, I mean all kinds of stuff, the garage light
gets turned on randomly, Jesse freaks out like, oh my god,
people stop going in my garage and I'm like, babe, Babe,
nobody's going in your garage, Okay, I promise, And then
Sissy was dropped off at her friend's house one day.
(06:44):
I dropped her off at her friend's house, and then
straight to I might have said this already, straight to
dropping Bubba off at his friend's house. Sissy texted me like,
why are you in my room? And I was like,
what are you talking about? And she was like, I
just drove by that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You tell me, but not on the show, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I was not home, and she was like, oh,
I thought I saw you in my room. I saw
the curtains moving and stuff. And I'm like, yeah, no,
not there. And then the other day I was on
the phone with my dad in the kitchen, which I
know none of you know what my house looks like,
but my house is long and it's, you know, like
a ranch style, and the kitchen is on one end
of the house and at the very opposite end of
(07:24):
the house is Sissy's room. And I was in the
kitchen on the phone with my dad on speaker, and
you know, he was talking blah blah blah blah blah,
saying stuff, and I heard the ALXA in Sissy's room
say good afternoon, Sissy. Da da da da da, And
I didn't hear the rest of what it said. It
(07:44):
didn't say Sissy, it said her name, but I didn't
hear the rest of what it said because I was
talking to my dad and he was still talking. But
I was like, why did Alixa just say Cissy's name
way in there? Like, who's in there talking to her? Alixa,
I don't know, but I walked in there and nobody
was in there. I you told my dad pretty sure
there's a ghost and it likes to hang out in
(08:05):
Sissy's room.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So whoops, Well that's fantastic. I can't decide if that's
better or worse than what you've experienced another.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I think it's just the old woman who lived here,
and so I'm fine with it. Nothing bad seems to
be happening. It's a little inconvenience sometimes, but mostly it
seems like she's just hanging out. Yeah, Sissy's room is
the girliest, so.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Maybe and if she thought it was you in her room,
maybe it's a girly ghost this time around. Interesting. Interesting.
Well keep me posted on that, and uh speak my
my transition no longer works for today's drink, but today's
drinks like the snow Falling and my fun fact pairs
(08:51):
well with a coconut fizz and the reason.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yes you said today's drink.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Today's today's drink pairs well with today's drink, Yes, yes
it does. I am in between shifts, and Sierra has
worked and done life today, so neither of us are people.
As it said. If anything in this first fifteen minutes
has demonstrated we normally can speak English, don't make that
(09:22):
fucking pig. There are new people listening, Okay, they need
to know we can do better. But it pairs well
with a coconut fizz mocktail or a margarita. And you'll
have to hear the case to understand why. Right now,
it just looks like Alicia wanted to drink a coconut margarita.
So for today's drink you will need. It yields two drinks,
(09:47):
so make it for yourself and a friend. You will
need half a can a full fat coconut milk, a
quarter cup of fresh lime juice, two tablespoons of maple syrup,
and top with half a liter of sparkling water. Slice
limes for garnish and enjoy. However, I did not have
(10:07):
fresh limes. I had just lime juice, so that's why
I didn't garnish it. But I do have my bone
straw and if you want to make this a margarita
kind of style, you can blend those ingredients. Minus is
sparkling water, and then just use like a little bit
in your cup, just to give it like a little looseness,
because you know when you drink a frozen drink sometimes
(10:27):
and you don't put enough liquid in it. I don't
know you guys, do however you would like to do it.
I shook mine over ice and didn't blend it so
and then I strained my eyes out because ice is noisy.
How did you do yours?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I we decided to record this episode pretty last minute,
and so I found out about the drink pretty last minute.
And I do not live by a grocery store. So
I went to the dollar store and they the only
coconut milk type thing they had was a strawberries and
cream coconut milk drink, so minus strawberry flavored. I also
(11:07):
could not find any sparkling water except flavored sparkling water,
so I used strawberry flavored sparkling water. I still added
lime to it, but it's like a strawberry lime type
It's good.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yours sounds way better than mine. The reason for this
drink choice is very much related to.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
The color, so ah, yeah, mine is not colored that way.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That and as we recorded, it is still technically summer,
so nothing said summer like cochnicle. I the other drink
that came up that would have worked is actually a shot,
and I will tell you about the shot at the end.
So if you guys want to make it at a
Halloween party or something coming up, I you're more than
welcome to. And it'll make more sense as to why
(11:53):
after I pre order the Snick Jonas t shirt. Great,
do you think that it's gonna be on the tour?
Probably you're gonna sell it on tour? Okay that I'm
just gonna buy it on Thursday, Welcome back. Imagine waking
up in the early hours to the sound of rain.
It seems like any other storm, that is, until you
(12:15):
see globs of translucent, jelatinous slime spattering your roof, windows
and yard. It smells faintly strange, it's slippery to the touch,
and by midday you and dozens of your neighbors are
feeling nauseous, dizzy, and even worse.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
How have we never covered this before?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't know, but you know what I'm gonna tell
you about, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, I figured you would. I tried to bury the
lead slightly. But this is not the plot of a
horror movie as it sounds. It was the reality for
the residence of Oakville, Washington, in the summer of nineteen
ninety four. This small town got rained on, not by water,
but by something scientists still can't fully explain, making it
(13:05):
the perfect conspiracy. Oakville, Washington, in nineteen ninety four had
a population of less than eight hundred. It's a small,
unassuming town between forests and farmland, and it's about a
forty mile drive inland from the sea. The kind of
place where you know your neighbors and everyone knows everything
(13:26):
about each other. So naturally, when it rained strange goo,
it became the talk of the town. On August seventh,
heavy rainw was reported, with some even reporting hail, but
it didn't hail that day. When residents went outside to investigate,
the ground was littered with clear, jelly like blobs. They
(13:46):
were tiny, soft, squishy, and slightly slimy. Just never touch
mystery globs that fall from the sky. As a word
to the wise, but that's just my opinion. One of
the first people to notice was a woman named Sunny Barcliff.
She lived in Oakville with her mother with her mom,
Dottie Hearn, and when Dottie stepped outside barefoot, within a
(14:09):
few minutes, she started to feel dizzy, weak, and disoriented.
Later that same day, Dottie claps in her home. She
was brushed off to the hospital with severe vertigo and nausea.
And she wasn't the only one. A police officer named
David Lacey was on patrol that night and he and
his partner were driving when the rain began. He described
(14:31):
He described it as such, we turned on our windshield
wipers and it just started smearing to the point that
we almost couldn't see. And I said, geez, this isn't
right end quote. Yeah, no, it's not like I imagine
that it looked like basolene on the windshield when it
was just like getting smeared around.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, that's yucky. However, I will say that lately I've
been parking under a tree. I like to park under
the trees because it may makes my black leather seats
not as hot when I get into the car at
the end of the day. Or picking up my kids
or whatever. But I have a property full of pecand trees.
(15:11):
The con tries have a lot of SAP. Didn't realize this.
My car looks like it sparkles every day, just dotted
with set. I don't know how it gets on it
in perfect little droplets, like literally.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Just sprinkled with SAP nature your vehicle.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, And in the morning time when I am on
my way to school and the sun is blaring directly
into my windshield and I try to clear it, it's
just like this. It looks probably like this, like globs,
and I'm like, oh my god, please clear the windshields
so I can see it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It sounds dangerous, and it sounded dangerous for these two guys.
But at least the SAP seems worse in this instance,
not because we don't know, oh what SAP is, but
because SAP is so fucking sticky. Another local named Beverly
Roberts told Unsolved Mysteries everyone in the whole town came
down with a like flu, only it wasn't hard flu.
(16:13):
It didn't last seven days. It lasted seven weeks to
two or even three months for some people. End quote.
People felt sick hundreds of animals died. One kitten that
Sunny Barclift had recently adopted died suddenly. Beaches started turning
up with hundreds of dead crabs in a not so
(16:35):
normal way, not like seagulls had a feast kind of way,
but like whole crabs. Livestock also died suddenly, and people
found random dead animals on their walks. One family reported
seeing like a hundred dead frogs in one area just
flipped onto their backs. Sonny's mother, Dottie, suffered a relapse
(16:57):
again a few weeks later as well. So residents started
to become really afraid to go outside and didn't dare
step outside their houses when it rained. Something was wrong
in Oakville, and this mystery rain was the only clue.
And I wish that I could say that this happened
one time in Oakville. No, No, it happened six different times,
(17:21):
and people naturally wanted evidence, so goo was collected for
or sorry, samples of the goo was collected for testing.
Some were brought to the Washington State Department of Health,
and others were analyzed by a microbiologist named Mike McDowell.
He said that the blobs were very uniform, and it
was no structure that we could see visibly under a microscope.
(17:44):
When the samples were tested, it was reported that there
were human white blood cells found in the substance. So
let that sink infirmaent the idea that something biological, something
human is possibly falling from the sky. But then follow
up tests started to contradict this. The Washington Department of
Ecology stepped in and they said that their research found
(18:09):
no nuclei in the cells, which meant that it couldn't
be human or even any animal or fungus form on
our planet having no nuclei. What was found were two
types of bacteria, and I'm going to butcher both of
these and I don't want to hear it. Pud ammonymous
fluorescences and enter Bacter kloaca. These bacteria are common in water, soil,
(18:35):
and even human intestines, but their presence didn't explain where
these blobs came from and why people got sick.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I don't know if you're pronouncing this correctly, but I
know that a kloaca is.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Zoeretty weird for the chicken.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Pole, for any bird hole. Yeah that poops and peas
and delivers eggs from and that weird.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's spelled COO sorry c l o A c A. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I don't think loa kai chloe k c A. I
would think it's at the end.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, clo A C sure, we'll call it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Just we don't want to give Yeah. Well, this is
gross bacteria, right right. And the final bit of strangeness
in this report is that some of most of the
samples disappeared. They were literally just gone, not archived, not published,
(19:41):
not revisited somewhere else. No official explanation has ever been given,
which left me to wonder who wanted this finding hidden.
So let's talk about theories, because that's where the science
stops and where the speculating wildly begins. One of the
first series residents and scientists tried to propose was that
(20:04):
this was not rain but bits of jellyfish. It's just
so gross.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Why tell me, why would there be bits of jellyfish
raining down.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The Pacific coast, like I said, is about forty miles
away from Oakville. In one hypothesis, the US military had
been conducting naval exercises in the ocean, and they had
blown up schools of jellyfish. Their proposal is that fragments
were then carried by high altitude winds into the atmosphere
(20:39):
and into the clouds, and then deposited inland as the
clouds moved with the wind and became heavy enough to rain.
This sounds kind of cinematic and probably unlikely. For one,
jellyfish are multicellular creatures with complex structures, so this couldn't
possibly have been bits of jellyfish blobs didn't have nuclear
(21:01):
I remember. Also, wind patterns technically can carry marine life
out of the water and severe enough storms, but carrying
it fifty miles inland and on more than one occasion
makes this a no for me.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah. And also it's not like it was a big
old like wave or even like a water spot or
a hurricane that like kind of slapped it on where
If that happened, I would think that not only this
town fifty miles away, but also everything between that town
and the water in that fifty miles would have gotten it.
(21:37):
This was just the town, right, Yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
All of it seems like a bit of a stretch
to me. The second beery is that it was waste
dumped from an airplane. Airplanes sometimes release what's known as
blue ice, which is frozen chunks of waste from the
airplane lavatories. But the problem is the stuff is actually blue,
and it's extremely identifiable. The Oakville blobs were clear and
(22:06):
didn't contain any typical chemical traces of aviation waste, or
it would have come back in the reports that and
airplanes are required by law to be very precise in
where they do these dumps, i e. Not over residential towns.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I could see an airplane dumping their ways over a
residential town, and I could see the company who owned
that airplane paying someone a lot of money to tell
them in the future, don't tell anybody about this, cover
it up, say it was something else. We do not
want this lawsuit. We do not want the bad press.
We're never going to get airplane people flying on our
(22:43):
airplane again. I don't see why it's not blue.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, so, because this isn't blue to me, it can't
be airplane waste. But Seer's right, people would pay big
money to make that go away if it did happen.
The third theory was some sort of sequt military experiment.
Several locals, including Sunny Barcliff, pointed out that there were
(23:08):
frequent low flying military planes seen in the area at
the time of the incident, and some thought that Oakville
might have been an accidental or possibly deliberate test site
for a biological agent. It's a scary thought, but again
there's no real proof other than these just weird black
(23:28):
planes flying around.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I don't imagine a biological agent test site would be
something they would do in the middle of a town,
just because I feel like if the wind blew the
wrong way, it could go into a different town. But
that doesn't mean I don't think it's not some other
sort of experiment.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I mean, we've seen weird things coming up in secret
military base areas not completely unheard of, so to me,
that theory is the most viable. But another theory that
was proposed was star jelly. Star jelly is a term
dating back centuries with people reporting seeing mysterious blobs or
(24:08):
slime appeer on grass, fences or trees, usually after meteor showers.
Some think that it's like molds or algae or some
sort of like mystery. Who knows. I honestly just think
that this is an explanation for people centuries ago that
(24:29):
had no idea what to describe new findings. So when
weird things happened in the sky, they assumed everything just
tell from the sky. That's my theory with that. Yeah,
if I've never heard of star jelly.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I also feel like as much as we say we
know about space, you wouldn't be able to identify star
jelly by then, Like we had been to the moon,
but you don't know what star jelly is. I think
you made that up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I think people that And it definitely made me think
of animal crossing because in animal crossing, when there's stars
that fall in the sky, if you swipe your net
at the same time that it happens on the beach,
there will be little bits of star fragments that you
can collect and use to make furnitures.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
That's fun, but furniture is not made out of jelly.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Correct. The little fragments are really cute. They look like
little baby stars, not like jelly. But that's what that
made me think of.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It makes me feel like I need to go to
my little farmer's market with a new jelly. I invented
cold star jelly. I might do it. I might make
star jelly. Guys, what full buy that should star jelly
be let me know, comment on this some wherever you're
listening to this, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify stars like well, but
(25:54):
it's gotta be good. What fruit or maybe.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You could use drag and fruit dragon its white feeds
in it. Though I like dragon.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Fruit, dragonfruit tastes like air. There's just there's It's such
an empty flavor. I hate it. It's so not even.
I don't taste anything at all when I eat dragon fruit,
not a single flavor.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Like armpits, so I smell. I don't know if I
trust your taste buds just same. And that's a wide
casting nets SIRA. Armpits have a range of smells. Unfortunately,
So what happened to these samples that were collected? Where
did the evidence of this event go? That's part of
(26:46):
the mystery. They were sent to labs, some state labs,
some independent microbiologists. Some of the samples were even photographed,
as you can see on different TV shows that have
featured this case. But the and they just vanished. Nothing
was ever published. No peer reviewed journals out there exist
(27:06):
about this, and some claim that the samples must have
been lost in transit, but others suspect that the samples
deliberately disappeared, and that's kind of where I land in
any case. With the blobs gone and the testing incomplete,
the case drifted into urban legend territory, but it was
very real for the Oakville residents that experienced it. The
(27:29):
Oakville incident has never been fully explained, and the CDC
never issued a report. Like I said, nothing out there
exists other than news articles reporting on this event happening
To this day, it could remain one of the strangest
unsolved mysteries in history, and it begs the question could
(27:49):
something like this happen again. In the years since this event,
similar but not identical reports have popped up around the
world of unidentified goo or jelly like substances found in forests,
on roofs, on benches, But the Oakville case stands out
because it was so widespread and it didn't happen to
(28:11):
one or two people. It happened to an entire town
six times over three weeks, and then people got sick,
animals died, and no one can identify anything about it
other than it's got white blood cells with no nuclear
which to me, it feels like something alien with today's technology.
If this had happened, maybe we could get answers, but unfortunately,
(28:35):
in nineteen ninety four Oakville didn't have those tools. So
unless it happens again, we may never know for certain.
But I would love to know what you guys all think.
Where the Oakville blobs just a weird combination of environmental
factors or was this some sort of alien bacterial slime?
(28:56):
Was it man made here on our earth or somewhere
else entirely? Let me know what you guys think. And
Sierra go off, what do you think thinks she's like?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
So there is not a single shred of doubt in
my mind that the government, slash Illuminati, slash some sort
of one percent person can control things that we don't
realize they can control. And so my thought has always
been that this was a experiment of some sort of
(29:31):
weather control device that went horribly wrong. They did not
have the recipe correct, and it ranged globs instead of hail.
Maybe they actually meant for it to hal I mean,
just because this was a little tiny town, not because
they actually wanted to scare anybody in this area specifically,
but they were just testing it out to see what
(29:51):
was going to happen. It reminds me of a little bit.
It reminds me of in Twister, you know the balls
that they put into the barrel to put up into
the you know, they're literally trying to control the clouds.
And then it also a little bit reminds me of
you know, those little paper packets that you put in
(30:12):
like shoes or this or that that has those.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Little jelly huh.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, it reminds me of that. Like the government or
the one percent illuminate, whoever you want to say, is
the one controlling it. Somebody is Okay, somebody did this.
Somebody messed up the fucking recipe and put this up
into the clouds, cloud seating whatever, and it was the
wrong recipe. They tested it on this town and it
(30:39):
made people sick, and they're like, shit, a little less
of that ingredient, a little more of this one. Maybe
they freaking used alien technology to do this, as.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The nucleus cells. That's gross.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I'm also very sure that the government or somebody up there,
if there's aliens or whatever you want to say, this
other higher thing is they know about it. Maybe they
were using their technology or whatever, you know, technology that
they found from aliens and maybe that's where the sell
(31:16):
things come from. But my actual thought on the cell
thing is that so it all rained down, it had
some sort of poisonous whatever and effect on everybody, and
then it seeped into the water, into the groundwater, into
the sewage, into the wells. And that's why I was
taking notes earlier. That's why it happens multiple times, because
(31:37):
it creatures died exactly. That's why that lady Sonny had
a relapse is because it was in her drinking water.
She drank it, so it happened again.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Uh oh, the white blood cells because when it mixed
with waste water like the water treatment plants and stuff,
some of it was cleaned, but not all of that
stuff gets cleaned.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
That's why true bacia it's found in human and testine.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Exactly, the bacteria from waste. And eventually, over time when
they retested, they're like, wait, no, it doesn't have this.
Why did we think that? Because eventually, over time, real
rain fell down and like kind of diluted it, so
it became less and less of this sticky substance and
more and more water. It was water soluble and kind
(32:36):
of dissolved. Eventually all spread out in water. I am
positive that the government can or somebody can control the weather.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Fuck them and somebody tried to cover all of this.
Whoopsie Daisy, the samples disappear.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They don't want us to know they can control the weather.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I want to know who this is.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Use to say they is the government of the United
States of America, because I feel like the United States
of America has way more weather slash natural disaster issues
than anywhere else in the world. Like, we're fucking up.
But I also don't think any president we've ever had.
(33:24):
I don't think any president we've ever had is smart
enough for one to do it, for two to keep
it a secret. I think they're all fucking idiots, and
so probably more likely the people.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
So they get rotated out so quick.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Exactly. I think the people who are the richest people
in the world are doing it to America because America
is the biggest consumer of the world, and it's really
easy to control our feelings this way. So, oh no,
there's going to be a crazy storm everybody by paper.
(34:01):
Oh no, there's gonna be a you know, snows from everybody.
Go buy sweaters, you know, like, go buy the milk
and the bread, go buy the this and the that,
and then yeah, I think they scare us with their
money and we don't even realize it.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You could really even loop COVID into that, exactly what
you could. Uh Yeah, that's scary though. I think anyone.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Puppets on the planet.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Unfortunately, if I had the money to move to a
different country, would I really would?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
But yeah, I just thought this was super weird when
I saw it originally on Unsolved Mysteries years ago. Yeah,
and then I forgot about the Files of the Unexplained
on Netflix and they had the Pasca Goula episode that
I watched on there, so I was like, oh, let's
just pick up where I left off, And the next
(34:54):
episode was about the Oakville Blobs, so naturally I had
to cover it.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, it's so crazy. Every time I've ever heard or
seen it covered. Granted this was you know, years ago,
this wasn't recent, But every time I've ever heard and
seen it, people bring up cloud seating as a possibility,
and they're like, no, it's not that. Do you guys
realize how much of a possibility that actually is, Like
(35:24):
in twenty twenty five, knowing all that we know, it
is so much more of a possibility than than anyone
ever thought before. Same for aliens, people, you'd be like, oh, no,
those don't exist. Yes, they literally do. Okay, things that
were once considered conspiracy are being proven left and right,
and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah. The government did admit, after however, many years of
trying to gaslight us, that aliens exist and that they
had hid all of that footage. So knows. I agree. Well,
it's like that, where did it happen? Speaking of like
Balley area didn't and didn't somewhere in Indonesia get that?
Like blood rain?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, but it was it had a.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
But it was red algae that was in it, which
is what what the biological matter of it is. But maybe,
like all of our rain, because it's pulled from our atmosphere,
has like some biological matter to a degree, like algae's
and bores and everything else that lives in water naturally. Yeah,
(36:27):
I don't know who knows. Yeah, if it, I mean,
I can't decide what's worse, globs of goo that make
you sick or blood rain.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Rain. It was so dusty over there that it rained
brown all the time, like a reddish brown like terra
cotta color. Always, that's that's just what the rain looked like.
So if I saw red rain in a place where
there was like desert ish area nearby, it would not
scare me at all, Like, that's this is what it
(37:00):
looks like over.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
There, look at you, smarty pants. When I googled it,
it happened in India. Sorry, not Indonesia. I was mistaken,
But it was because of red dust sand and the
algae spores being lifted in by strong winds into the
and mixed in with the precipitation in our skies. So
(37:23):
that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Let us know your theories, guys, as always, and uh,
don't touch touch mystery globby rain. Let this be a lesson.
Would you?
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I would probably touch it. You're so much than I
just feel like nature wouldn't hurt you. But then you
know all of the so that is what makes this is.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Not nature exactly. Yeah, I don't know. It's also like
really gross. If you would like to watch a recent
coverage of it, I would really recommend the linked files
of the unexplained episode and my resources and then you
guys can see what I mean by it looking like
it's almost moving sitting there on the table. It looks
(38:13):
freaky for sure, so my natural instinct would not be
to touch it. But that's just me. Before we roll
it out of your sierra, do you have anything you
want to share with the class other than your house
is haunted.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
My house is haunted. Let me think fun things to share.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
This comes out the day after your birthday. Are you
doing anything for your birthday?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't think so. Everybody not. The previous weekend of
this airing, I don't know for sure. So we're trying
to do something on Saturday, but everybody seems to be busy,
and so we can't all decide on something. So it
might just be a dinner. But I'm not sure yet.
(39:02):
We'll find out. I don't. I can't think of anything,
oh other than I successfully. I can't think of the
word cured my two pimples.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
That I had over this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Okay, I know I should already be able to do
this because I am a fucking licensed as seitician, but
I was super excited to find.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Sometimes skin is trial and error.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Yeah, I was excited to find new things that work
for me anyway, and that was sunshine, like lots of sunshine,
salt water, face dry brushing, and colendula oil. That's what
worked for me. It's great. I was super excited.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
When you say salt water, you mean putting, like being.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Literally in the ocean.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yes, okay, okay. I was like, are you putting salt
water on your face? Because I always find my skin
and my body feel the best being in the sunshine
by the water.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I don't know. Yeah, solve this healing. Tell me otherwise.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Yeah, all of it nature, Yeah, the right nature.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Not the science. Yeah, not the such version government, not
the conspiracy we're talking about today. Well, my something exciting
is that I am going to the Jonas Brothers in
two days, and I know I wish you were coming
with me more than anything. You will be there in spirit.
(40:42):
Will video call you and boys like girls? Come on?
You can watch it with.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
What I need right there.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I don't know what you're doing Thursday night, but just
everybody pause, hold on.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
I'll be a football game, so.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Well, you'll be there with me in spirit. I'll be
to send you some videos. I'm super excited for that.
Hopefully I can get this red dress T shirt there
because that would make my whole day better. But otherwise
I might have to go Sierra's route and make it myself.
In the meantime, I'm off to work round two. If
you did not already, go leave us five star rating
(41:19):
and review as a big happy birthday to Sierra, and
go wish her a happy birthday. If you have not yet,
well yeah that's true, wish both leave us both reviews
for our birthdays. Thank you, that's what we thank you,
and we will see you next week for Sierra's.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Episode I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Topic to be determined to end. In the meantime, Keith
You Twisted, Twisted and Uncorked is hosted and produced by Sierra,
Lauren and Alicia Watson. If you like the show, don't
forget to leave a five star rating and review wherever
you are listening now. It really is the best way
to spread the word. You can check out all things
twisted on our website Twisted and Uncorked dot com, and
(42:00):
we will see you next Tuesday for a brand new episode.
Hello, Twisted humans.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Do you find yourself wanting to know more about the
latest murder, conspiracy, cult, or haunting.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Than this is the podcast for you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Alicia and I'm Sierra and this is Twisted and Uncorked.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, and welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast.
This is episode two eleven, and I have that conspiracy
that I've been promising you guys. But before we get
to speculate wildly, Sierra, do you have a fun fact
for me?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I do have a fun fact. My fun fact is
that horses are more than one horse power. I love
it very interesting in my opinion. Let me see, you
would think I've touchedstons since finding it. There we go. Okay,
So horsepower is a unit of power that measures the
(00:57):
rate at which work is done with one horsepower. It horseticalley,
historically defined as the power needed to lift five hundred
and fifty pounds one foot in one second, but it
was averaged like over a day. So as a horse
(01:23):
continued to work continuously for one full day, how long
it would take that horse to do that thing was
one horse power. Okay, However, one horse when you're not
averaging through the whole entire day because they get fucking
tired eventually. If it's just he's ready to work, horses
are like fourteen horsepower, Okay, they just eventually get tired
(01:46):
and sluggish. Bonus fun fact, even more funner, that's not
the word. Even more fun is that horses basically coined
the term synergy with their horsepower. Horses work better together.
So two horses can do as much horsepower as at
(02:10):
least three horses when they're working together. So one horsepower
plus one horse power does not equal to horsepower. If
one and two are like buds, okay, they work on
the power of friendship. They are better together.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And if you're not watching this on YouTube, you need
to be because Sierra explaining that to me was one
just so cute and two who knew. Also, don't measure
horses on a day when they're tired, that's just mean.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, they averaged it all from one day, Like in
the morning time they were ready to go. At nighttime
they were like, I've been working all fucking.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Dead land somewhere in the middle. That's not giving them
their best, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah. Also, better better together, be friends, everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I love that. That's very cute. Better together means that
you can run away with your horses and buggy when
the hammersmith goes sneaks up on you, and you can
leave all your passengers.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I don't I don't know if that's what that means.
Do not all your passengers better together?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean, the horses said fuck that in that situation.
I was just watching a clip of that. That's what
made me think of it. That And like, what else
do you get to see horses working together anymore other
than a horse and buggy in real life examples?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What's your fun fact?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
My fun fact is that Venus has snow, but it's
made of metal. Happy mountain peaks of Venus, Intense temperatures
and atmospheric pressure cause metallic compounds like galina meaning lead
sulfide and bis muse and night nailed it to vaporize,
(03:57):
rise and then condense back down as metallic snow. But
it's not the white, fluffy snow that we know. It's
actually very toxic, reflective frost made of heavy metals, much
like things falling from the sky. Hint, hint, would you
like to react to that?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Before I can get Galina is a beautiful word, and
dare it needs something so I don't even know what
that was.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, it just means lead, it means lea full fide.
It's just it's just the compound.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Listen. All I know is that lead is dangerous, and
sulfide sounds like sulfur, which is stinky. So danger and
stink create a beautiful word. Also, I just got an
update on my phone that there are new shops, new
items in the Jonas Brothers shop, including one of them
that is a T shirt that just says red dress
(04:51):
with a bunch of different poses of Nick Jonas, and
I want it so bad.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I would just like to point out that that I
was the original one to make a shirt that said
red dress everybody, but that one's quite other. That is awesome.
We should buy it. I think we should buy it.
I'm putting it out there for us. I like that
you had to interrupt that for the Jonas Brothers and
ordering Sierra because today is Nick Jonas's birthday that we
(05:18):
were recording, So how fitting that a red dress T
shirt should come out red dress. So I don't know
how to follow that. Also, I would like to address
something from last week's episode, because one of you is
going to point it out to me either way. So
there was a mysterious banging that neither of us heard
during the recording while I was editing it, and the
(05:40):
whole time, I'm like, what is that? Is she kicking
her desk? Like what is happening underneath there? At no
point do either of us address it. So if in
the middle of Sierra's speaking, you hear we don't know
where it came from, we don't know the source, and
we cannot be held responsible for it, and we are sorry.
(06:02):
There who's shocked? Though? Did you really think you were
going to leave the ghosts behind in your library?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh? This is definitely a different one.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
But yeah, no, I'm not suggesting that it followed you,
which hopefully not. But what's been happening because we did
not talk about it At the end of my Haunted episode,
which was the one.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, I mean all kinds of stuff, the garage light
gets turned on randomly, Jesse freaks out like, oh my god,
people stop going in my garage and I'm like, babe, Babe,
nobody's going in your garage, Okay, I promise, And then
Sissy was dropped off at her friend's house one day.
(06:44):
I dropped her off at her friend's house, and then
straight to I might have said this already, straight to
dropping Bubba off at his friend's house. Sissy texted me like,
why are you in my room? And I was like,
what are you talking about? And she was like, I
just drove by that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You tell me, but not on the show, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I was not home, and she was like, oh,
I thought I saw you in my room. I saw
the curtains moving and stuff. And I'm like, yeah, no,
not there. And then the other day I was on
the phone with my dad in the kitchen, which I
know none of you know what my house looks like,
but my house is long and it's, you know, like
a ranch style, and the kitchen is on one end
of the house and at the very opposite end of
(07:24):
the house is Sissy's room. And I was in the
kitchen on the phone with my dad on speaker, and
you know, he was talking blah blah blah blah blah,
saying stuff, and I heard the ALXA in Sissy's room
say good afternoon, Sissy. Da da da da da, And
I didn't hear the rest of what it said. It
(07:44):
didn't say Sissy, it said her name, but I didn't
hear the rest of what it said because I was
talking to my dad and he was still talking. But
I was like, why did Alixa just say Cissy's name
way in there? Like, who's in there talking to her? Alixa,
I don't know, but I walked in there and nobody
was in there. I you told my dad pretty sure
there's a ghost and it likes to hang out in
(08:05):
Sissy's room.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So whoops, Well that's fantastic. I can't decide if that's
better or worse than what you've experienced another.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I think it's just the old woman who lived here,
and so I'm fine with it. Nothing bad seems to
be happening. It's a little inconvenience sometimes, but mostly it
seems like she's just hanging out. Yeah, Sissy's room is
the girliest, so.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Maybe and if she thought it was you in her room,
maybe it's a girly ghost this time around. Interesting. Interesting.
Well keep me posted on that, and uh speak my
my transition no longer works for today's drink, but today's
drinks like the snow Falling and my fun fact pairs
(08:51):
well with a coconut fizz and the reason.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yes you said today's drink.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Today's today's drink pairs well with today's drink, Yes, yes
it does. I am in between shifts, and Sierra has
worked and done life today, so neither of us are people.
As it said. If anything in this first fifteen minutes
has demonstrated we normally can speak English, don't make that
(09:22):
fucking pig. There are new people listening, Okay, they need
to know we can do better. But it pairs well
with a coconut fizz mocktail or a margarita. And you'll
have to hear the case to understand why. Right now,
it just looks like Alicia wanted to drink a coconut margarita.
So for today's drink you will need. It yields two drinks,
(09:47):
so make it for yourself and a friend. You will
need half a can a full fat coconut milk, a
quarter cup of fresh lime juice, two tablespoons of maple syrup,
and top with half a liter of sparkling water. Slice
limes for garnish and enjoy. However, I did not have
(10:07):
fresh limes. I had just lime juice, so that's why
I didn't garnish it. But I do have my bone
straw and if you want to make this a margarita
kind of style, you can blend those ingredients. Minus is
sparkling water, and then just use like a little bit
in your cup, just to give it like a little looseness,
because you know when you drink a frozen drink sometimes
(10:27):
and you don't put enough liquid in it. I don't
know you guys, do however you would like to do it.
I shook mine over ice and didn't blend it so
and then I strained my eyes out because ice is noisy.
How did you do yours?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I we decided to record this episode pretty last minute,
and so I found out about the drink pretty last minute.
And I do not live by a grocery store. So
I went to the dollar store and they the only
coconut milk type thing they had was a strawberries and
cream coconut milk drink, so minus strawberry flavored. I also
(11:07):
could not find any sparkling water except flavored sparkling water,
so I used strawberry flavored sparkling water. I still added
lime to it, but it's like a strawberry lime type
It's good.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yours sounds way better than mine. The reason for this
drink choice is very much related to.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
The color, so ah, yeah, mine is not colored that way.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That and as we recorded, it is still technically summer,
so nothing said summer like cochnicle. I the other drink
that came up that would have worked is actually a shot,
and I will tell you about the shot at the end.
So if you guys want to make it at a
Halloween party or something coming up, I you're more than
welcome to. And it'll make more sense as to why
(11:53):
after I pre order the Snick Jonas t shirt. Great,
do you think that it's gonna be on the tour?
Probably you're gonna sell it on tour? Okay that I'm
just gonna buy it on Thursday, Welcome back. Imagine waking
up in the early hours to the sound of rain.
It seems like any other storm, that is, until you
(12:15):
see globs of translucent, jelatinous slime spattering your roof, windows
and yard. It smells faintly strange, it's slippery to the touch,
and by midday you and dozens of your neighbors are
feeling nauseous, dizzy, and even worse.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
How have we never covered this before?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't know, but you know what I'm gonna tell
you about, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Okay, I figured you would. I tried to bury the
lead slightly. But this is not the plot of a
horror movie as it sounds. It was the reality for
the residence of Oakville, Washington, in the summer of nineteen
ninety four. This small town got rained on, not by water,
but by something scientists still can't fully explain, making it
(13:05):
the perfect conspiracy. Oakville, Washington, in nineteen ninety four had
a population of less than eight hundred. It's a small,
unassuming town between forests and farmland, and it's about a
forty mile drive inland from the sea. The kind of
place where you know your neighbors and everyone knows everything
(13:26):
about each other. So naturally, when it rained strange goo,
it became the talk of the town. On August seventh,
heavy rainw was reported, with some even reporting hail, but
it didn't hail that day. When residents went outside to investigate,
the ground was littered with clear, jelly like blobs. They
(13:46):
were tiny, soft, squishy, and slightly slimy. Just never touch
mystery globs that fall from the sky. As a word
to the wise, but that's just my opinion. One of
the first people to notice was a woman named Sunny Barcliff.
She lived in Oakville with her mother with her mom,
Dottie Hearn, and when Dottie stepped outside barefoot, within a
(14:09):
few minutes, she started to feel dizzy, weak, and disoriented.
Later that same day, Dottie claps in her home. She
was brushed off to the hospital with severe vertigo and nausea.
And she wasn't the only one. A police officer named
David Lacey was on patrol that night and he and
his partner were driving when the rain began. He described
(14:31):
He described it as such, we turned on our windshield
wipers and it just started smearing to the point that
we almost couldn't see. And I said, geez, this isn't
right end quote. Yeah, no, it's not like I imagine
that it looked like basolene on the windshield when it
was just like getting smeared around.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, that's yucky. However, I will say that lately I've
been parking under a tree. I like to park under
the trees because it may makes my black leather seats
not as hot when I get into the car at
the end of the day. Or picking up my kids
or whatever. But I have a property full of pecand trees.
(15:11):
The con tries have a lot of SAP. Didn't realize this.
My car looks like it sparkles every day, just dotted
with set. I don't know how it gets on it
in perfect little droplets, like literally.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Just sprinkled with SAP nature your vehicle.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, And in the morning time when I am on
my way to school and the sun is blaring directly
into my windshield and I try to clear it, it's
just like this. It looks probably like this, like globs,
and I'm like, oh my god, please clear the windshields
so I can see it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It sounds dangerous, and it sounded dangerous for these two guys.
But at least the SAP seems worse in this instance,
not because we don't know, oh what SAP is, but
because SAP is so fucking sticky. Another local named Beverly
Roberts told Unsolved Mysteries everyone in the whole town came
down with a like flu, only it wasn't hard flu.
(16:13):
It didn't last seven days. It lasted seven weeks to
two or even three months for some people. End quote.
People felt sick hundreds of animals died. One kitten that
Sunny Barclift had recently adopted died suddenly. Beaches started turning
up with hundreds of dead crabs in a not so
(16:35):
normal way, not like seagulls had a feast kind of way,
but like whole crabs. Livestock also died suddenly, and people
found random dead animals on their walks. One family reported
seeing like a hundred dead frogs in one area just
flipped onto their backs. Sonny's mother, Dottie, suffered a relapse
(16:57):
again a few weeks later as well. So residents started
to become really afraid to go outside and didn't dare
step outside their houses when it rained. Something was wrong
in Oakville, and this mystery rain was the only clue.
And I wish that I could say that this happened
one time in Oakville. No, No, it happened six different times,
(17:21):
and people naturally wanted evidence, so goo was collected for
or sorry, samples of the goo was collected for testing.
Some were brought to the Washington State Department of Health,
and others were analyzed by a microbiologist named Mike McDowell.
He said that the blobs were very uniform, and it
was no structure that we could see visibly under a microscope.
(17:44):
When the samples were tested, it was reported that there
were human white blood cells found in the substance. So
let that sink infirmaent the idea that something biological, something
human is possibly falling from the sky. But then follow
up tests started to contradict this. The Washington Department of
Ecology stepped in and they said that their research found
(18:09):
no nuclei in the cells, which meant that it couldn't
be human or even any animal or fungus form on
our planet having no nuclei. What was found were two
types of bacteria, and I'm going to butcher both of
these and I don't want to hear it. Pud ammonymous
fluorescences and enter Bacter kloaca. These bacteria are common in water, soil,
(18:35):
and even human intestines, but their presence didn't explain where
these blobs came from and why people got sick.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I don't know if you're pronouncing this correctly, but I
know that a kloaca is.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Zoeretty weird for the chicken.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Pole, for any bird hole. Yeah that poops and peas
and delivers eggs from and that weird.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's spelled COO sorry c l o A c A. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I don't think loa kai chloe k c A. I
would think it's at the end.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, clo A C sure, we'll call it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Just we don't want to give Yeah. Well, this is
gross bacteria, right right. And the final bit of strangeness
in this report is that some of most of the
samples disappeared. They were literally just gone, not archived, not published,
(19:41):
not revisited somewhere else. No official explanation has ever been given,
which left me to wonder who wanted this finding hidden.
So let's talk about theories, because that's where the science
stops and where the speculating wildly begins. One of the
first series residents and scientists tried to propose was that
(20:04):
this was not rain but bits of jellyfish. It's just
so gross.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Why tell me, why would there be bits of jellyfish
raining down.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The Pacific coast, like I said, is about forty miles
away from Oakville. In one hypothesis, the US military had
been conducting naval exercises in the ocean, and they had
blown up schools of jellyfish. Their proposal is that fragments
were then carried by high altitude winds into the atmosphere
(20:39):
and into the clouds, and then deposited inland as the
clouds moved with the wind and became heavy enough to rain.
This sounds kind of cinematic and probably unlikely. For one,
jellyfish are multicellular creatures with complex structures, so this couldn't
possibly have been bits of jellyfish blobs didn't have nuclear
(21:01):
I remember. Also, wind patterns technically can carry marine life
out of the water and severe enough storms, but carrying
it fifty miles inland and on more than one occasion
makes this a no for me.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah. And also it's not like it was a big
old like wave or even like a water spot or
a hurricane that like kind of slapped it on where
If that happened, I would think that not only this
town fifty miles away, but also everything between that town
and the water in that fifty miles would have gotten it.
(21:37):
This was just the town, right, Yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
All of it seems like a bit of a stretch
to me. The second beery is that it was waste
dumped from an airplane. Airplanes sometimes release what's known as
blue ice, which is frozen chunks of waste from the
airplane lavatories. But the problem is the stuff is actually blue,
and it's extremely identifiable. The Oakville blobs were clear and
(22:06):
didn't contain any typical chemical traces of aviation waste, or
it would have come back in the reports that and
airplanes are required by law to be very precise in
where they do these dumps, i e. Not over residential towns.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I could see an airplane dumping their ways over a
residential town, and I could see the company who owned
that airplane paying someone a lot of money to tell
them in the future, don't tell anybody about this, cover
it up, say it was something else. We do not
want this lawsuit. We do not want the bad press.
We're never going to get airplane people flying on our
(22:43):
airplane again. I don't see why it's not blue.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, so, because this isn't blue to me, it can't
be airplane waste. But Seer's right, people would pay big
money to make that go away if it did happen.
The third theory was some sort of sequt military experiment.
Several locals, including Sunny Barcliff, pointed out that there were
(23:08):
frequent low flying military planes seen in the area at
the time of the incident, and some thought that Oakville
might have been an accidental or possibly deliberate test site
for a biological agent. It's a scary thought, but again
there's no real proof other than these just weird black
(23:28):
planes flying around.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I don't imagine a biological agent test site would be
something they would do in the middle of a town,
just because I feel like if the wind blew the
wrong way, it could go into a different town. But
that doesn't mean I don't think it's not some other
sort of experiment.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I mean, we've seen weird things coming up in secret
military base areas not completely unheard of, so to me,
that theory is the most viable. But another theory that
was proposed was star jelly. Star jelly is a term
dating back centuries with people reporting seeing mysterious blobs or
(24:08):
slime appeer on grass, fences or trees, usually after meteor showers.
Some think that it's like molds or algae or some
sort of like mystery. Who knows. I honestly just think
that this is an explanation for people centuries ago that
(24:29):
had no idea what to describe new findings. So when
weird things happened in the sky, they assumed everything just
tell from the sky. That's my theory with that. Yeah,
if I've never heard of star jelly.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I also feel like as much as we say we
know about space, you wouldn't be able to identify star
jelly by then, Like we had been to the moon,
but you don't know what star jelly is. I think
you made that up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I think people that And it definitely made me think
of animal crossing because in animal crossing, when there's stars
that fall in the sky, if you swipe your net
at the same time that it happens on the beach,
there will be little bits of star fragments that you
can collect and use to make furnitures.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
That's fun, but furniture is not made out of jelly.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Correct. The little fragments are really cute. They look like
little baby stars, not like jelly. But that's what that
made me think of.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It makes me feel like I need to go to
my little farmer's market with a new jelly. I invented
cold star jelly. I might do it. I might make
star jelly. Guys, what full buy that should star jelly
be let me know, comment on this some wherever you're
listening to this, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify stars like well, but
(25:54):
it's gotta be good. What fruit or maybe.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You could use drag and fruit dragon its white feeds
in it. Though I like dragon.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Fruit, dragonfruit tastes like air. There's just there's It's such
an empty flavor. I hate it. It's so not even.
I don't taste anything at all when I eat dragon fruit,
not a single flavor.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Like armpits, so I smell. I don't know if I
trust your taste buds just same. And that's a wide
casting nets SIRA. Armpits have a range of smells. Unfortunately,
So what happened to these samples that were collected? Where
did the evidence of this event go? That's part of
(26:46):
the mystery. They were sent to labs, some state labs,
some independent microbiologists. Some of the samples were even photographed,
as you can see on different TV shows that have
featured this case. But the and they just vanished. Nothing
was ever published. No peer reviewed journals out there exist
(27:06):
about this, and some claim that the samples must have
been lost in transit, but others suspect that the samples
deliberately disappeared, and that's kind of where I land in
any case. With the blobs gone and the testing incomplete,
the case drifted into urban legend territory, but it was
very real for the Oakville residents that experienced it. The
(27:29):
Oakville incident has never been fully explained, and the CDC
never issued a report. Like I said, nothing out there
exists other than news articles reporting on this event happening
To this day, it could remain one of the strangest
unsolved mysteries in history, and it begs the question could
(27:49):
something like this happen again. In the years since this event,
similar but not identical reports have popped up around the
world of unidentified goo or jelly like substances found in forests,
on roofs, on benches, But the Oakville case stands out
because it was so widespread and it didn't happen to
(28:11):
one or two people. It happened to an entire town
six times over three weeks, and then people got sick,
animals died, and no one can identify anything about it
other than it's got white blood cells with no nuclear
which to me, it feels like something alien with today's technology.
If this had happened, maybe we could get answers, but unfortunately,
(28:35):
in nineteen ninety four Oakville didn't have those tools. So
unless it happens again, we may never know for certain.
But I would love to know what you guys all think.
Where the Oakville blobs just a weird combination of environmental
factors or was this some sort of alien bacterial slime?
(28:56):
Was it man made here on our earth or somewhere
else entirely? Let me know what you guys think. And
Sierra go off, what do you think thinks she's like?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
So there is not a single shred of doubt in
my mind that the government, slash Illuminati, slash some sort
of one percent person can control things that we don't
realize they can control. And so my thought has always
been that this was a experiment of some sort of
(29:31):
weather control device that went horribly wrong. They did not
have the recipe correct, and it ranged globs instead of hail.
Maybe they actually meant for it to hal I mean,
just because this was a little tiny town, not because
they actually wanted to scare anybody in this area specifically,
but they were just testing it out to see what
(29:51):
was going to happen. It reminds me of a little bit.
It reminds me of in Twister, you know the balls
that they put into the barrel to put up into
the you know, they're literally trying to control the clouds.
And then it also a little bit reminds me of
you know, those little paper packets that you put in
(30:12):
like shoes or this or that that has those.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Little jelly huh.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, it reminds me of that. Like the government or
the one percent illuminate, whoever you want to say, is
the one controlling it. Somebody is Okay, somebody did this.
Somebody messed up the fucking recipe and put this up
into the clouds, cloud seating whatever, and it was the
wrong recipe. They tested it on this town and it
(30:39):
made people sick, and they're like, shit, a little less
of that ingredient, a little more of this one. Maybe
they freaking used alien technology to do this, as.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The nucleus cells. That's gross.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I'm also very sure that the government or somebody up there,
if there's aliens or whatever you want to say, this
other higher thing is they know about it. Maybe they
were using their technology or whatever, you know, technology that
they found from aliens and maybe that's where the sell
(31:16):
things come from. But my actual thought on the cell
thing is that so it all rained down, it had
some sort of poisonous whatever and effect on everybody, and
then it seeped into the water, into the groundwater, into
the sewage, into the wells. And that's why I was
taking notes earlier. That's why it happens multiple times, because
(31:37):
it creatures died exactly. That's why that lady Sonny had
a relapse is because it was in her drinking water.
She drank it, so it happened again.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Uh oh, the white blood cells because when it mixed
with waste water like the water treatment plants and stuff,
some of it was cleaned, but not all of that
stuff gets cleaned.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
That's why true bacia it's found in human and testine.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Exactly, the bacteria from waste. And eventually, over time when
they retested, they're like, wait, no, it doesn't have this.
Why did we think that? Because eventually, over time, real
rain fell down and like kind of diluted it, so
it became less and less of this sticky substance and
more and more water. It was water soluble and kind
(32:36):
of dissolved. Eventually all spread out in water. I am
positive that the government can or somebody can control the weather.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Fuck them and somebody tried to cover all of this.
Whoopsie Daisy, the samples disappear.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They don't want us to know they can control the weather.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I want to know who this is.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Use to say they is the government of the United
States of America, because I feel like the United States
of America has way more weather slash natural disaster issues
than anywhere else in the world. Like, we're fucking up.
But I also don't think any president we've ever had.
(33:24):
I don't think any president we've ever had is smart
enough for one to do it, for two to keep
it a secret. I think they're all fucking idiots, and
so probably more likely the people.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
So they get rotated out so quick.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Exactly. I think the people who are the richest people
in the world are doing it to America because America
is the biggest consumer of the world, and it's really
easy to control our feelings this way. So, oh no,
there's going to be a crazy storm everybody by paper.
(34:01):
Oh no, there's gonna be a you know, snows from everybody.
Go buy sweaters, you know, like, go buy the milk
and the bread, go buy the this and the that,
and then yeah, I think they scare us with their
money and we don't even realize it.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You could really even loop COVID into that, exactly what
you could. Uh Yeah, that's scary though. I think anyone.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Puppets on the planet.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Unfortunately, if I had the money to move to a
different country, would I really would?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
But yeah, I just thought this was super weird when
I saw it originally on Unsolved Mysteries years ago. Yeah,
and then I forgot about the Files of the Unexplained
on Netflix and they had the Pasca Goula episode that
I watched on there, so I was like, oh, let's
just pick up where I left off, And the next
(34:54):
episode was about the Oakville Blobs, so naturally I had
to cover it.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, it's so crazy. Every time I've ever heard or
seen it covered. Granted this was you know, years ago,
this wasn't recent, But every time I've ever heard and
seen it, people bring up cloud seating as a possibility,
and they're like, no, it's not that. Do you guys
realize how much of a possibility that actually is, Like
(35:24):
in twenty twenty five, knowing all that we know, it
is so much more of a possibility than than anyone
ever thought before. Same for aliens, people, you'd be like, oh, no,
those don't exist. Yes, they literally do. Okay, things that
were once considered conspiracy are being proven left and right,
and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah. The government did admit, after however, many years of
trying to gaslight us, that aliens exist and that they
had hid all of that footage. So knows. I agree. Well,
it's like that, where did it happen? Speaking of like
Balley area didn't and didn't somewhere in Indonesia get that?
Like blood rain?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, but it was it had a.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
But it was red algae that was in it, which
is what what the biological matter of it is. But maybe,
like all of our rain, because it's pulled from our atmosphere,
has like some biological matter to a degree, like algae's
and bores and everything else that lives in water naturally. Yeah,
(36:27):
I don't know who knows. Yeah, if it, I mean,
I can't decide what's worse, globs of goo that make
you sick or blood rain.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Rain. It was so dusty over there that it rained
brown all the time, like a reddish brown like terra
cotta color. Always, that's that's just what the rain looked like.
So if I saw red rain in a place where
there was like desert ish area nearby, it would not
scare me at all, Like, that's this is what it
(37:00):
looks like over.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
There, look at you, smarty pants. When I googled it,
it happened in India. Sorry, not Indonesia. I was mistaken,
But it was because of red dust sand and the
algae spores being lifted in by strong winds into the
and mixed in with the precipitation in our skies. So
(37:23):
that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Let us know your theories, guys, as always, and uh,
don't touch touch mystery globby rain. Let this be a lesson.
Would you?
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I would probably touch it. You're so much than I
just feel like nature wouldn't hurt you. But then you
know all of the so that is what makes this is.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Not nature exactly. Yeah, I don't know. It's also like
really gross. If you would like to watch a recent
coverage of it, I would really recommend the linked files
of the unexplained episode and my resources and then you
guys can see what I mean by it looking like
it's almost moving sitting there on the table. It looks
(38:13):
freaky for sure, so my natural instinct would not be
to touch it. But that's just me. Before we roll
it out of your sierra, do you have anything you
want to share with the class other than your house
is haunted.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
My house is haunted. Let me think fun things to share.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
This comes out the day after your birthday. Are you
doing anything for your birthday?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't think so. Everybody not. The previous weekend of
this airing, I don't know for sure. So we're trying
to do something on Saturday, but everybody seems to be busy,
and so we can't all decide on something. So it
might just be a dinner. But I'm not sure yet.
(39:02):
We'll find out. I don't. I can't think of anything,
oh other than I successfully. I can't think of the
word cured my two pimples.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
That I had over this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Okay, I know I should already be able to do
this because I am a fucking licensed as seitician, but
I was super excited to find.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Sometimes skin is trial and error.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Yeah, I was excited to find new things that work
for me anyway, and that was sunshine, like lots of sunshine,
salt water, face dry brushing, and colendula oil. That's what
worked for me. It's great. I was super excited.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
When you say salt water, you mean putting, like being.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Literally in the ocean.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yes, okay, okay. I was like, are you putting salt
water on your face? Because I always find my skin
and my body feel the best being in the sunshine
by the water.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I don't know. Yeah, solve this healing. Tell me otherwise.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Yeah, all of it nature, Yeah, the right nature.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Not the science. Yeah, not the such version government, not
the conspiracy we're talking about today. Well, my something exciting
is that I am going to the Jonas Brothers in
two days, and I know I wish you were coming
with me more than anything. You will be there in spirit.
(40:42):
Will video call you and boys like girls? Come on?
You can watch it with.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
What I need right there.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I don't know what you're doing Thursday night, but just
everybody pause, hold on.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
I'll be a football game, so.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Well, you'll be there with me in spirit. I'll be
to send you some videos. I'm super excited for that.
Hopefully I can get this red dress T shirt there
because that would make my whole day better. But otherwise
I might have to go Sierra's route and make it myself.
In the meantime, I'm off to work round two. If
you did not already, go leave us five star rating
(41:19):
and review as a big happy birthday to Sierra, and
go wish her a happy birthday. If you have not yet,
well yeah that's true, wish both leave us both reviews
for our birthdays. Thank you, that's what we thank you,
and we will see you next week for Sierra's.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Episode I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Topic to be determined to end. In the meantime, Keith
You Twisted, Twisted and Uncorked is hosted and produced by Sierra,
Lauren and Alicia Watson. If you like the show, don't
forget to leave a five star rating and review wherever
you are listening now. It really is the best way
to spread the word. You can check out all things
