Blue jelly balls from space!

"A man in Dorset has been left mystified after tiny blue spheres fell from the sky into his garden.

Steve Hornsby from Bournemouth said the 3cm diameter balls came raining down late on Thursday afternoon during a hail storm.

He found about a dozen of the balls in his garden. He said: "[They're] difficult to pick up, I had to get a spoon and flick them into a jam jar."

The Met Office said the jelly-like substance was "not meteorological".

Mr Hornsby, a former aircraft engineer, said: "The sky went a really dark yellow colour.

"As I walked outside to go to the garage there was an instant hail storm for a few seconds and I thought, 'what's that in the grass'?"'No smell'

Mr Hornsby said he was keeping the balls in his fridge while he tried to find out what they were

Walking around his garden he found many more blue spheres were scattered across the grass.

He said: "The have an exterior shell with a softer inner but have no smell, aren't sticky and do not melt."

Mr Hornsby said he was keeping the balls in his fridge while he tried to find out what they were.

Josie Pegg, an applied science research assistant at Bournemouth University, speculated that the apparently strange phenomena might be "marine invertebrate eggs".

"These have been implicated in previous 'strange goo' incidents," she said. "I'd have thought it's a little early for spawning but I suppose we've had a very mild winter.

"The transmission of eggs on birds' feet is well documented and I guess if a bird was caught out in a storm this could be the cause." - BBC\\\\

Weird Lobster Has A Friend

There is an old saying "Someone is out there for you.."Maybe that applies to Lobsters also.

"​A million-to-one freak lobster with two cutting claws caught in British waters has found a friend in another mutant crustacean -- with two crushing claws.

Lobsters usually have one cutting claw and one crushing claw - which are each used to catch food such as crabs.

They grab their prey with the sharp cutting claw while the powerful crusher claw is used to break open the shell.

But a lobster - nicknamed Popeye - with two crushing claws has now been found by fisherman Steven Tregeer off St Just in Cornwall.

The discovery comes just weeks after a lobster dubbed 'Edward Scissorhands' with two cutting claws was found off the coast of nearbThe pair of freak crustaceans are now being cared for at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium.

Blue Reef's David Waines said: ''On his own Edward was an extremely unusual find.

''So for Popeye to have been caught within the space of just a few weeks is nothing short of extraordinary.

''We now have a pair of lobsters with the correct number of cutting and crushing claws - the only problem is they're the wrong way round.''

Lobsters are among the planet's oldest inhabitants with fossil remains found dating back more than 100 million years."

Makes you wonder if our pollution is reaching the oldest creatures..
