That definitely is a an unsettling idea lol! I wish we could find out what exactly those blue spheres are but if they are anything dangerous we would
never find out. The government would squash it in a minute.
Gels consist of a solid three-dimensional network that spans the volume of a liquid medium and ensnares it through surface tension effects. This internal network structure may result from physical bonds (physical gels) or chemical bonds (chemical gels), as well as crystallites or other junctions that remain intact within the extending fluid. Virtually any fluid can be used as an extender including water (hydrogels), oil, and air (aerogel). Both by weight and volume, gels are mostly fluid in composition and thus exhibit densities similar to those of their constituent liquids. Edible jelly is a common example of a hydrogel and has approximately the density of water.

A CD has retrievable information for only 30 years. Other digital storage methods would also have to preserve the original readers, as upgrades eliminate access in as little as 10 years.
Gel, from space? At first seems unlikely. Looking further into gel makeup, all one needs is hydrogen liquid cooled with some polymer bonding structure, like Jello, once cooled its state is rather permanent.

Naturally forming gel usually are organic in origin, lots of floating organics in our atmosphere, one would look at an earthly origin before an extraterrestrial origin.
Consider the asteroid is quite a ways off to have traveling debris extending over 70,000 miles, (putting the main bus sized body in the center). Then consider the debris is already going faster than escape velocity, it would take a direct angle to enter the atmosphere, which would disintegrate such small particles above 50 km high.
These blue balls have origin from earth.

Yeah....the weather has been so crazy, maybe it did change the time they would lay eggs. Today, for instance, it was in the 30's this morning, but now, at 3:30 in the afternoon, it's like spring! There are even butterflies in my front yard!
