A new gelatinous goo incident occurred in the UK. So far, no reports of anyone getting sick.

Hilariously referred to as "Mystery Blue Balls": (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/01/30/mystery-blue-balls-of-jelly-rain-from-dorset-skies-_n_1241534.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false)

Josie Pegg, a research assistant at Bournemouth University, provided an initial analysis today.

She told the Guardian: “Speculation on the nature of the mystery jelly balls has provided much entertainment, but now that we have possession of a sample we can rule out some of the early guesses. Having examined the balls under a high-powered microscope, we can discount living material."

Looked these up after reading comments about it on WS, I think.

It's likely a toy similar to paint ball gun ammo, only softer. There's another toy that looks just like the paint ball gun type ammo stuff that kids decorate things with.
