As a microbiologist I don’t find the bacteria theory convincing: 1) Regular people with healthy immune systems wouldn’t get sick from opportunistic pathogens like the bacteria found unless they were genetically modified to better infect humans, not plants/control disease in plants. They definitely wouldn’t get sick for that long either. 2) If a biotech or government agency wanted to test anything related to pathogenicity in humans it would be easier, cheaper, faster, and all around more logical to just use eukaryotic cell lines not live humans. If they wanted to test the gel on plants that could be done in a lab too. 3) There is no way to be sure if the bacteria were in every blob or only the samples analyzed. The pseudomonas strain is commonly found in soil and water, meaning it may be a contaminant introduced after it was dropped, the enterobacter could have been lab or human introduced contamination. If the bacteria were there on purpose why weren’t there more of them? Bacteria are cheap, easy, and quick to grow so they would likely put more in to have a more effective treatment. Also, companies proactively make patents for all sorts of things that aren’t immediately being developed and that the company has no intention of developing soon. The idea is that patents are cheap and if the technology ever becomes important for some reason we don’t know yet, then we have the patent for it (or a patent that’s close enough to give us rights to the tech) and now everyone has to pay us to use it. There are hundreds of thousands of patents for products that will likely never be produced, the automotive industry is full of them. The chemical make up of the blob is significantly more interesting than the bacteria in my opinion, and I think crop dusting might be a good theory too. But I’m only a masters student not a PhD student so take what I say with a grain of salt haha.

This topic specifically was one I have been curious about for awhile but there was very little info online that even hinted at a possible conclusion. I’m very impressed that you were (probably) able to solve this mystery more than any other.

I actually recognize both of those bacteria, I've grown them for a microbio lab before. The Enterobacter is a gut bacteria common in humans while the pseudomonas is also pretty common and produces products used for a variety of purposes including treatment of ear disorders. If I had to guess, I'm thinking that the plane drop theory is accurate though it could have been intentional or accidental. If accidental, the lack of blue strain could just be a result of the plane running out of the staining agent and not refilling before lifting off again. Then again, this happening six times really does cut down on the possibility if this being an accident.

The fact you actually consult with people that has any kind of scientific background puts you in the top 0.0001% of KZreadrs, even tho consulting nobody and making a spooky video would probably bring you more views and it would require way less work. Never change, Barely, never change.

As other fellow biologists have pointed out in the comments, the samples of "gelatinous substance" submitted to labs for study were likely contaminated with soil bacteria prior to their collection.

These samples were collected by someone who likely wasn't following that same process, then stored in a vessel that potentially introduced more cross contamination, by the time they were tested it would be difficult if not impossible to rule out what was in the original sample and what was cross contamination. If you took a sample from two patches of ground near each other you'd get very different results which makes it really difficult to determine what is naturally occurring, since you can't know for sure what that patch of ground has been exposed to or what contamination the sample container has picked up.

The jellyfish thing is hilarious. Evaporation is the process of molecules in liquid escaping into the gas state. And every substance has its own heat of vaporization, or amount of energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces that "hold" them in the liquid state. Furthermore, jellyfish are, however tenuously, solid. Melting is referred to as heat of fusion. So, not only do you need enough energy to overcome the liquid state, but the solid state as well. Hence why, when water evaporates, the molecules of anything dissolved in it are left behind. Things like minerals and pollutants are not carried up into the atmosphere with the molecules of H2O. This is why you can construct a makeshift water purifier from two bowls (or other container, as long as one fits inside the other) some seran wrap, and a rock. Granted, this takes forever to gather any significant amount of clean water.

I realize that it's a recreation, but the recreation looks like the filling in disposable diapers (the absorbent filling), which once it's wet fits the description of a gelatinous material half the size of a grain of rice.

One thing: They wouldn't really need anything to ensure the bacteria would "Survive the impact" as microorganisms are virtually immune to being damaged by way of falling. The smaller the organism is, the less gravity has an impact on it. Just for example: You could drop an ant out of an plane and there's a fairly high chance it would hit the ground totally unharmed and would just go about its business. Just a theory here, say if this was intentional in some way, It'd be more reasonable to assume the gel was a method of protecting the microorganisms from various environmental damage. For example protection from UV radiation or maybe cellular damage from temperature change.

I can’t get over how hilarious it is anytime he says the word “blobs” or the phrase “the blobs”

I've done pest control for a while and I can't say I've everrr heard of an aerial jelly application. It actually would kinda contradict itself if the theory is that they missed their target, due to larger droplet sizes reducing the drift. So unless they were made that large enough to ACTUALLY target a specific area and still be able to be released from a high altitude....

As a med student, I'd like to add a few general pieces of knowledge from my studies. 1 . My understanding of bacterium that infect immunosuppressed in general don't harm immunocompetent individuals at all. While it's true people become more fragile and receptive to infections (as seen with covid19), they rarely actually become immunosuppressed, meaning it's highly unlikely any of the bacterium mentioned in the video are the cause of the flu-like symptoms of the due to how widespread the flu was in the Oakville population. 2. I can't say with confidence that the doctor's diagnosis of Ménières syndrome is correct (there are some similar diseases, primarily I'm thinking of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is also supported by her only having it once in her life), but judging by the circumstances it seems unlikely the inner ear syndrome is connected with the blobs in any significant way. To me, it seems more likely that the doctor didn't communicate too thouroughly or there was a miscommunication between the patient and the doctor on the characteristics of the disease/ diagnosis. 3. As some other comments have pointed out, test tubes do indeed often disappear due to to very benign causes such as human error.

Human biologist here now doing a masters in infection biology. Really appreciate you reaching out to someone educated in the field. The theory of someone testing a couple of bacterial species as a herbicide doesn’t seem out of the question. In the past, agencies were a lot more fast and loose with regards to potentially devastating an ecosystem or harming people. Look at Australia’s strict laws as a reaction. The white blood cell (seemingly not specific to the type) looks like it was just observed and not given a second thought. There’s no indication that anything has been kept sterile. Could have come from someone who touched it without gloves on and also had a minor cut on a finger. The fact there’s just one suggests contamination and makes the bacterial theory more plausible. The species themselves I’m not familiar with but the fact that they’re usually only present in immunocompromised people and that not everyone got sick, suggests they could well have been the causative agent. Most people probably didn’t even see a doctor if they weren’t ill enough and I doubt anyone thought to try and culture anything from ‘people they thought just had flu’. I’m also not sure what the state of culturing technology was like in 1994.

Finally, I can watch something worth my time.

I have a somewhat outdated background in Microbiology (I haven’t worked in my field in decades), but I remember this being discussed in college in the 90s. (Yes, I’m *that* old!) DMSO is the only way that can get the bacteria into your body unless you don’t wash your hands. The fact that pets died also made me think DMSO was a part of it. I wish someone had run that through a mass spec or HPLC and not just cultured it.

Dude, you sent me back with this one. Me and granny used to watch on the "big screen tv" that was basically a 5 x 5 x 3 deep box tv.

When i was living in Marysville,WA I had some of these blobs on my truck i touched one was sick for week it was the worst flu i ever had it came on quick. The blobs on my truck weren't small about the size of a grape

It was actually jellyfish performing bio-tech experiments on humans.

How did you know I love Unsolved Mysteries?

I have an MD and a MS in neuroscience. I examined the notes and I have two points to make: I have extensive experience from my Master's degree with the use of DMSO as a cryoprotectant as well as a carrier for topical anesthetics as a clinician. DMSO, being an organosulfur compound has a very strong odor even in small concentrations. Furthermore, if it was suspended in a cross-linking water based polymer and successfully carried bacteria into the bloodstream it would be transported with it. DMSO has an unusual property in that once you're exposed to it and it absorbs through your skin the vast majority of the population would detectibly taste garlic and start to have pretty serious garlic breath. If they absorbed enough their sweat and other bodily fluids would smell like garlic for potentially days or even up to a week. This effect is prominent and not something that people would be unlikely to mention. This "garlic breath" phenomena is so consistent that it can be used as a diagnostic criteria for presumptive DMSO exposure. What I am saying is if those blobs contained DMSO they would have stank and those sickened by it would have stank as well. It's also worth noting that P. florensis is the source of muprioscn which is an antibiotic and itself a long chain water soluble polymer. In an advantageous environment this very effective anitbiotic is secreted and would kill any cospecies combined in a proposed product. This doesn't rule out the existence of such a product as that may be by design to limit the spread of the cospecies. However it means such a product would have a low shelf life and would need to be mixed on a batch basis. Again none of this precludes it but it's still something to consider.

The fact that it re-ocurred multiple times in the same location is a massive clue to some essential element of this story that rules out meteorological factors, for example.

I had my finger on a corporate/government conspiracy from the start, their always doing these kind of shenanigans to test out things without care for the public. Amazing job on the breakdown, I'm glad I found this channel
