Mysterious jelly-like substance was discovered in Ham Wall Preserve, Somerset, England. Claim that she came from space. According to folklore, similar mucus, called “star jelly” has repeatedly appeared after meteor showers. This time, visitors to the reserve stumbled upon “jelly” three days after the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite. Representative of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Tony Whitehead commented on the find as follows: “Although we do not know what it is, however, descriptions of such phenomena have been encountered before. In the 14th century them called “star jelly.” In folklore it is mentioned that “jellies” always appeared after “star rains”. Visitors to the reserve warned not to touch the jelly-like substances – the last couple of days people continue to find “star jellies “in different places of the reserve, always on the grass and pretty far from the water. The diameter of each jelly is approximately 10 cm. Opinions scientists are divided: some say that this is most likely one of species of blue-green algae, others believe that the substance – the result of regurgitation of one of the amphibians, the third – that it has fungus with the intriguing name pearl. ”
