I came across this case by accident, it seems really strange how something could fall from the sky and make people ill, there also seems to be no updates, in the context of covid, knowing how some countries have controlled the virus and some haven't. and how quick it's spread, it's interesting..

Shame that nobody involved in the testing had the foresight to keep a decent amount in cold storage. I feel with how science has moved on the last 25 years that testing it with modern equipment would likely have given us the answer.

Having said that I do wonder if this was more a case of mass hysteria/panic-one person becomes ill from phantom symptoms, or possibly legitimately as they tasted it & then everybody goes down with it. Really unless the people were touching it & then not washing their hands thoroughly afterwards & then touching their mouths it is hard to see how stuff that had landed on the ground or was hitting their likely hooded coats & cars would be able to get into their system-unless they were from curiosity tasting this substance-something you would expect children & pets to do, but grown adults? Were they tested for things at the hospital, or just put on a drip?

Were some of these cases more likely old people becoming dehydrated at the height of summer? Not an uncommon occurrence & then suddenly it is the mysterious blobs that did it? It is certainly hard to believe that 'everybody in town' could have had it as claimed by somebody on the segment-anywhere from 599-723 depending on what source you take for the then population. Is it not also possible there was some influenza bug in care homes/schools there than transmitted at this time, or possibly some kind of food poisoning? It would closely fit the symptoms reported. Not really buying that 700 odd people all became infected from some weather phenomenon falling on their heads or on the ground. Dotty was diagnosed with an inner ear infection-somehow that suggested to her daughter that the blobs must be responsible & not influenza or inflammation-just doesn't add up.

although i prefer to look for a more simple theory, i think it would be too much of a coincidence, reading more into it, i seems many people reported a virus like illness that last anywhere between a few weeks and 3 months. it attacked the respiratory and the immune system, thats much more than a dehydration. a lot of young people also got this "flu".
