I didn't do it!!! I swear!!! ~innocent angelic look~ Those brilliant scientists at UAF will figure it out!! My friend does their payroll. She said they're all geniuses... but all quite eccentric. I wish the same could be said of all of the professors up there... ~rolls eyes~

www.unexplainable.net/Weather/Mysterious-Yellow-Slime-Rains-from-Sky-in-Alaska.shtml Unidentified Yellow Slime Rains from Sky in Alaska[/color] By Chris Capps 8/7/11 Over the years there have been several reports of mysterious things raining from the sky ranging from fish to frogs and even blood. But just this week an orange slime reportedly began raining from the sky on a village near Anchorage Alaska, and experts are still scratching their heads over what could have caused it. The mysterious material remains unidentified in labs after being collected after a heavy incident where it covered houses, rain collection barrels, and even people. And perhaps strangest of all is the fact that the substance doesn't look like anything biologists have ever seen. So where did it come from? The mystery rain appeared throughout the village of some 347 equally baffled residents and even made its way into the town's drinking water. The Coast Guard was mobilized to look at the material, and determined that whatever it was, it was not man-made. Despite this, it has a sheen to it much like oil. But it is definitely not oil, according to those working closely with it. Perhaps most disturbingly is how it appeared. First the substance was spotted in the ocean moving along the tides and reaching up the coast to the village. Then the next day it rained on top of them - suggesting whatever it is there is much more of it somewhere. Currently biologists are working with the theory that the substance could have been created by some sort of algae. And as the ocean is undergoing some intense changes, unusual behavior and population blooms could happen in a fashion difficult to predict. After thousands of years of relative stability the ocean is finally beginning to turn to something else, and species which were staples to vast and complex ecosystems are beginning to die out due partially to man-made catastrophes. Kivalina, a community in the northwest burrough of Alaska, currently is seeking relocation after heavy wave erosion gradually destroyed a large area surrounding the community. It is located on a long island just west of Alaska's western coast. So if this orange slime is moving with the tides and weather formations, there's a possibility that it could be moving to the mainland of Alaska shortly. Worth noting is the fact that the substance appeared just as the effects from three major solar flares converged on Earth after erupting causing a fantastic display of the Northern Lights that reached as far south as Maine and Nebraska. Whether the two are somehow CONTINUE READING: www.unexplainable.net/Weather/Mysterious-Yellow-Slime-Rains-from-Sky-in-Alaska.shtml

1) Burrough is not a word, it is a last name. We spell it "Borough". New York and Alaska are the only two states in the US who have "Boroughs" instead of "Counties".
2) If the village is near Anchorage as this article states, it would be in the "Mat-Su Borough".
Conclusion: Methinks the journalist who wrote this article was making stuff up. ~nods seriously~
Edit: OK, I just looked at the map of the village of Kivalina. It is nowhere NEAR Anchorage. I'm about 300 miles from Anchorage, and I'm closer to Anchorage than this village is.
Apparently there IS a "Northwest Arctic Borough". It's waaayyyy up there though. I thought it didn't exist.
Hmm...
So perhaps I guess the person who wrote this decided that since Anchorage is the biggest city in Alaska, then all places in Alaska are "near" it then.
I still don't believe it. No photographs or anything.

They claim it is some kind of microscopic eggs surrounded by some fatty substance...sounds pretty disgusting to me.

Anyone here read Anne McAffery - who write sci-fantasy about the dragon riders of Pern? In this series (which is old) there are dragons and there is also a nearby planet which every 12 years or so is close enough that threads/a life form rains down on their planet and the dragonriders and dragons have to burn it away before it takes root. It is very toxic. The movie Avatar...the one where the good guy gets an blue alien body had imprinting the dragon scenes that I felt had been influenced by the previous work. The author may be dead by now, she was writing when I was a young adult.
Anyway, even scientists mostly agree that earth was seeded. Maybe its being seeded again - in the seas which are the easiest target to hit, with some spill over to the shore. I don't buy that no one can say what it is. They can say if its alive! Or was alive. Or if anything in the data banks resembles it.
My personal intuition: new orange slime in ocean = bad for humans and maybe everything else.

Rukbat, in the Sagittarian Sector, was a golden G-type star..and so the story starts of the Dragonriders of Pern series.. I've read them all several times, as has my whole family just about. She is still alive and writes now with her son who continues the Pern saga with a bent much like his mom's They do know what it is..they are microscopic crustacean eggs they just are not sure which crustacean..crab or some of the many others. They aren't used to seeing them wash up on shore.

Jo, you have made me proud! ~smirks too~ I didn't do it. I swear... ;D Those little eggs surrounded by fat might grow up to be little Lorelei clones... or... maybe not. I dunno if my evil plan worked... erm... I mean... uh...

It has a similar meaning in English, although it is not considered a bad word. That's probably why people say it.

This was taken off of Soup, an ezine for surfers. I don't know how to embed:
The orange goo that took over the shore of a remote Alaskan village is actually a mass of fungal spores — not microscopic eggs, as scientists at the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration first believed (and as we reported last week). This particular type of rust fungus has never been seen before and features unusual spines, which cover the surface.
Moderator feel free to move this - I couldn't find the original thread. Paulette

Yes, I read the other day that they had altered their thinking and decided the goo was a fungus amungus

I'm not sure that IDing this stuff as fungal spores is the total reassuring end of the story. Is it dangerous? We recently have had cryposporidium (another fungal thingme) bloom here - and it IS dangerous. It causes a pneumonia-like lung infection in people, horses and even dolphin. People and horses have died - dead dolphin on the beach were autopsied and that's why they had died. There's a park that hardly anyone goes to anymore because of this stuff. However ours is invisible!

That's interesting. After the tornado wiped out Joplin there was a killer fungus attacking people down there too.

Maybe it means...the invasion has begun! The aliens are really funguses! We're doomed.
