The Oakville Blobs Mystery: When Gelatinous Goo Rained From the Sky

On 7th August 1994, at 3 a.m., something strange fell from the
sky over Oakville, Washington. It wasn't rain. It wasn't hail. It
was gelatinous blobs—translucent, jelly-like masses the size of
rice grains that covered twenty square miles.

Within hours, people across town were violently ill. Animals
died. Officer David Lacey could barely breathe. Dotty Hearn
collapsed and was hospitalised for three days.

Scientists tested the blobs and found human white blood cells and
bacteria from the digestive tract. Microbiologist Mike McDowell
concluded they were man-made "carrier systems."

Then all the samples vanished.

Over three weeks, the blobs fell six times. Witnesses reported
military helicopters. Men from Fort Hood questioned residents.
Anonymous letters claimed government experiments.

Then, in April 2025—31 years later—it happened again in nearby
Rochester.

Tonight on Mysteries at Bedtime, we examine one of America's most
baffling unsolved phenomena.
