## Resource

In the summer of 1994, Oakville, Washington was hit by something no one could quite explain: not rain, but translucent, gelatinous blobs that fell from the sky again and again, leaving residents sick, panicked, and convinced they were being poisoned by something unnatural. Samples were tested, theories ranged from airplane waste to biological contamination to something stranger, and then the evidence effectively disappeared, turning the Oakville Blobs into one of those rare mysteries where the substance was real, the fear was real, and the answer still feels disturbingly out of reach.
