Comments by "Kevin Street" (@Kevin_Street) on "They Thought It Was Hail. It Was Something WAY Weirder." video.
Back in the 80's I used to be obsessed with Fortean phenomena, and I remember reading about the surprisingly long history of unusual things that occasionally drop from the sky. The star jelly you mentioned is the most famous one, with a documented history going back hundreds of years. But in the 20th century there were reports of all sorts of things raining down on people like fish, frogs, jellies and eggs. The egg fall is particularly memorable because the book I read had a photo of the aftermath. It was a picture taken outside a British school, with a bunch of children holding up eggs for the camera (they didn't all break) beside a sign that said Egg, Eggburton, Eggtown or something like that. The school was named egg-something, and it had been pelted by a rain of eggs from the blue. It's almost too coincidental to believe, but why would a bunch of 1970's children and teachers make up a story like that? The Oakville blob falls in your video are even stranger because they happened more than once. I've never heard of a sky fall phenomena that repeated before.
