Is mysterious translucent jelly found in Cumbrian Fells from outer space?

I'm off to Cumbria next week, anyone want me to pick up a sample?

I don't have any time to find them right now but search for Oakville WA, I think that happened in '93 or '94. I remember seeing video of the substance and reports from residents and lab techs that couldn't identify it. Then everyone started getting sick.

I wonder if is a type of fungus. Seems like science would find that out quickly though.
Has anyone tried to cultivate it in a petri dish?
From the pics, it looks like it occurs on vegetation in a wet environment.
Is it found in dry places as well?

Now I remember, it was on "Unsolved Mysteries" that I saw it first.

then he said:

"Deer semen?"

and you gave him a hard time for asking if you were suggesting that it was dear spunk... weird... maybe you shouldn't start threads if that's the way you run them.

on topic, who cares

no mate.. you got it all wrong. he didnt ask if thats what i thought it was, he just said deer semen? which from that comment was not clear what he meant. was it his opinion or did he know that for fact, (indecently he later admitted WAS a sarcastic comment)
he then followed my reply again with a snidey remark...

and my personal take on it is this, if i start a thread and someone instantly tries to derail it with bs and belittle me in the process, then i will defend my corner..

and "on topic who cares" well my friend if thats the way you contribute to threads then maybe you shouldnt bother replying to them..

Lets get this clear. I have a life therefore am not particularly bothered about my reputation online, although I do respect other people and their opinions.

One thing you clearly need to improve on is your understanding of grammar. A question mark implies that the words before it were a question, therefore, when I said 'Deer semen?' most people with a good understanding of English would realise that this was a question rather than an opinion. You clearly have no sense of humour, very poor people skills and a lack of understanding in written English. On top of this, your attitude stinks. Have a little think about yourself and then come back with your smart reply which I'm sure you will.

I took deer semen? To mean he was putting it out there as a maybe, not sarcasm, and i'm a really sarcastic person. You've put up a thread you can't police it - if you don't like some responses, ignore them, you can't tell everyone to stop posting if you don't like their opinion!

Btw, its SEMEN, not SEAMEN. Unless lots of little sailors are what deer ejaculate '?'. ;p
