Mysterious Blue Spheres That Fell From The Sky

Alex

Add this to the list of mysterious things that fell from the sky:

Steve Hornsby from Bournemouth said the 3cm diameter balls came raining down late on Thursday afternoon during a hail storm.

He found about a dozen of the balls in his garden. He said: "[They're] difficult to pick up, I had to get a spoon and flick them into a jam jar." [...]

Walking around his garden he found many more blue spheres were scattered across the grass.

He said: "The have an exterior shell with a softer inner but have no smell, aren't sticky and do not melt."

Well, Neatoramanauts, what do you think is the explanation?

Weren't these the things that killed a bunch of people in Washington state years ago? Something about them having Human material in them and spreading flu-like symptoms.

The Balloon fiesta used to be sponsored by Kodak, I don't know if it still is or not due to digital photography. They sold more film at that event than any other.
I loved balloon fiesta time when I lived in Albuquerque. It was the highlight of the year.

I fly in the Fiesta every year and its the largest and most photographed ballooning event in the world. Kodak did in fact sponsor the Fiesta a long while back but now its spread around many sponsors with different levels of sponsorship. If you have never been here in person you should in the future.

Its also one of the only Hot Air Balloon Rally's that allows spectators ( the public ) to come out on the field and get up close to the balloons and talk to the Pilots and Crew. As a Pilot.. I love answering questions about balloons!
