Looks like the jelly you get from the absorbent crystals inside a babies nappy after it has been left lying about in the rain for a week or two.

I heard that program and there was a subsequent article in the paper too.

People used to think it was the remains of meteors.

It can even climb trees.

my fist thought was that it was a farm by-product of some sort,it does look like the stuff u get in a nappies,maybe to keep feed dry or summit ,apparently the cant even tell if its organic or not,
the reason i ask on this forum is its full of people who like too get oot an aboot and thought they may have seen it themselves

Seen it loads of times in many different places, they all seem to have one thing in common..... Damp surroundngs. I can only conclude that it is some sort of chemical leached from the earth or some sort of fungus, it may even be inorganic in that it is a life form based on silicates.

Nearly all known life is carbon based but some are based on other elements and found in the deep ocean floor around volcanic flumes.
