Star jelly is a mysterious substance that can be found on grass or trees. The first mentions of it are found in the 14th century, but controversy over this issue has not subsided to this day. What is this - a message from space or a mystery of the universe? Let's figure it out.
First mention
In the distant fourteenth century, a scientist known at that time named John Gadessen told the general public about a certain substance that, he believed, could heal a person from various diseases, including the plague of that time - abscesses.
This mysterious object in modern language was "star jelly". Guesses are beginning to emerge as to where "something" landed on the planet, what it means for humanity, and what to do about it. The first assumption is a message from alien civilizations, eager to connect with the earthly mind. The second guess is the stellar parts that can heal from various diseases.
In those days, people believed in something mythical and divine. That is why "star jelly" was associated with a kind of divine intelligence sent by the Gods to our planet. Disputes and rumors begin regarding the purpose of this substance.
These interesting objects are transparent or translucent, white, and similar to jelly. Numerous controversies among scientists are caused by the fact that the mysterious substance gradually evaporates, leaving traces on the ground. There were such assumptions that these bodies did not fall from heaven at all, but are organic material, in particular, the remains of some animals and insects.
In Latin America, the word "uligo" appeared in medical institutions, which means "fatty substance" in Russian. In fact, the fat content of this substance is very high, which just allows it to be "attributed" to organic origin. In the books of the fourteenth century, star jelly was described as "matter emanating from the earth." According to sources, after touching this kind of mucus, stains remained on the hands. They were compared to the stains left after dipping the hand in vegetable oil.

"Old" study of the issue
When this biomass was discovered by scientists, everyone immediately became interested in knowing everything about it. Research begins, in the course of which several people tried to figure out the composition and affiliation of the star jelly.
It is hard to believe in the ways in which the experiments were carried out. The most popular is to taste it. It looked like full-fat milk mixed with gelatin, which is used to make real edible jelly.
The celestial substance was subjected to a strength test, which was successfully failed. This was due to the fact that after falling from a certain height, it simply ceased into a fat mass spread over the surface of the earth.
The next experiment is the healing of diseases and ailments. It was tested on people who have had conditions such as asthma, diarrhea, colds and dizziness. Surprisingly, the substance was actually able to help relieve pain or overcome it. What is this - a real healing effect or self-hypnosis - remains unclear.
After a while, Mexican residents told the world that they also witnessed mysterious celestial bodies. In their interpretation, it was nothing more than "Lunar excrement." Of course, after such an explanation, all scientists refused to taste this substance.
In a modern way
The magazine "Fade" put forward such a version that this biomass is of extraterrestrial origin. The author of the published material conjectures that jelly is an organic substance that exists as a "molecular cloud" capable of moving in space for an infinite time.
Of course, there were other theories that were slightly different from this one. All of them have a place to be, since a complete and more or less competent answer to the question of the origin of star jelly has not yet been given.
The author of the book "British Amphibians and Reptiles" M. Smith says that this substance was formed from the internal organs of toads and frogs. In particular, from the ovaries. This assumption was made on the basis that birds cannot eat these particular organs, so they remain on the ground. The moment the frog remains come into contact with water, they slightly increase in size, changing their shape. Just the same, a jelly-like substance is obtained. After examining it under a microscope and studying the structure, the author realizes that in fact it is not only the ovaries of toads: there were also legs with tails.
Throughout history, there have been several references in the literature about the mysterious star jelly that fell on our planet. For example, in early November 1846, an unidentified luminous object several feet in diameter landed near New York. People discovered that there was something luminous at the site of the fall of the substance, emitting such a smell that they immediately began to feel dizzy, and many even fainted. Apparently, the scent was not the best.
The next fall happened again in America, in Pennsylvania. In the middle of the twentieth century, policemen walked around the city streets. They found a dome-shaped disc that was completely enveloped in jelly. The diameter was about six feet. When law enforcement officers tried to move "something" out of place, it simply dissolved, leaving behind greasy stains on hands and clothes. Later, based on these events, the film "Drop" will be shot.
In the late seventies of the last century, in the United States of America, in Texas, a girl named Sibylla discovered several discs that resemble jelly in structure. They were bright purple in color and ended up on the ground after a meteor shower. A few years later, another meteor shower occurs in the same state, after which a transparent biomass remains.
In the early nineties of the last millennium, rain, entirely composed of jelly, fell again on America. The following year, the series "Unsolved Mysteries" reported this event.
Modern technology was already able to study this substance. The results simply threw scientists into a stupor: bacteria were found in the star jelly that can simply kill a person who has taken a mysterious substance in his hands. Of course, the researchers were very scared, but that did not stop the experiment from ending. Microbiologist Mike McDowell gave an interview to the media, where he said that after the experiments, the prototype disappeared without a trace. When the scientist asked his leadership about the star jelly, he realized that no information should be leaked to the general public.
The next incident occurred in Australia after a meteor flew over the city of Kempton. All the streets were shrouded in strange oily biomass.
Output
Of course, the list of Star Jelly drop events goes on and on. Research does not stop until now, but, as you know, how many people - so many opinions. That is why an unambiguous answer to the question of the origin of the mysterious substance has not been given. Even modern science with all instruments and technology is not capable of giving an intelligible answer. To find out the truth, one can only wait for the statements of scientists.
