The So Called 'Space Slime' Is Back In The News,

this time in Ham Wall nature reserve,

Steve Hughes, RSPB Site manager, said; 'this past week we’ve been finding piles of this translucent jelly dotted around the reserve, always on grass banks away from the water’s edge, they are usually about 10cms in diameter, We’ve asked experts what it might be, but as yet no one is really sure, whatever it is – it’s very weird', the reserve is near Glastonbury in Somerset,


this isn’t the first time a substance like this has appeared on an RSPB reserve, in April 2012 some turned up on the wildlife charity’s Langford Lowfields Reserve in the Midlands, Tony Whitehead, RSPB spokesperson for the south west said; 'although we don’t know what it actually is, similar substances have described previously, in records dating back to the 14th Century it’s known variously as star jelly, astral jelly or astromyxin, in folklore it is said to be deposited in the wake of meteor showers',

you may remember some time ago on one of our fishing trips with Nick and Maureen we came across some of this 'space jelly' I took this picture above of it, have a click here to have a look at our trip and a few more of the jelly, but what is it? aliens I tell you!
