Military Conducting Biological Warfare in Washington
Air Force General Threatens Local Resident
"Not to Connect the Dots"
From Anita Sands
12-12-97
In August of 1994, a bizarre sequence of events began to occur
in the small town of Oakville, Washington. Gelatinous blobs
of biological material began to rain down over an area of over
20 square miles during a storm. It would happen six times in
1994, and continue periodically thereafter. The latest was
during the third week of June 1997.
The fact that this was going on would not generally be known
outside of Oakville until an episode of Unsolved Mysteries on
Thursday, May 8, 1997, hosted by Robert Stack: (9 min, 36
seconds)
(Introduction, Robert Stack):
"It came from the skies to wreck havoc on the earth. It
sounds like a bad science fiction movie, but for the little
town in Washington there was nothing entertaining about the
scourge that befell them in 1994. Six times it rained down
from above, leaving dozens of local residents ill, and several
pets and small animals dead."
"It all happened in Oakville, Washington, population 665.
Here in Oakville, clouds fill the skies daily, bringing rain
some 275 days a year. So, when it began pouring on the
morning of August 7, 1994, no one was particularly concerned
-- until they realized it wasn't raining rain. It was raining
tiny blobs of gelatinous goo. It came down in torrents,
blanketing 20 square miles, and brought with it something of a
plague."
Maurice Gobeil (local resident): "I got sick, my wife got
sick, my daughter got sick and everybody that lived here got
sick."
Beverly Roberts (local resident): "Everybody in the whole
town came down with something like the flu, only it was a
really hard flu that lasted from seven weeks to two or three
months."
Robert Stack: "The local police were among the first to report
the perplexing precipitation. Officer David Lacey was on
patrol with a civilian friend at 3am when the downpour began."
David Lacey (police officer): "We turned our windshield wipers
on, and it just started smearing to the point where we could
almost not see. We both looked at each other and we said 'gee
this isn't right'. We're out in the middle of nowhere,
basically, and where did this come from?"
Robert Stack: "Officer Lacey pulled into a gas station to
de-goo his windshield. As an added precaution, he put on a
pair of latex gloves."
David Lacey (police officer): "The substance was very mushy,
almost like if you had jello in your hand. You know, you
could pretty much squish it through your fingers. We knew it
wasn't something we would normally see, because we had never
experienced it before. We had some bells go off in our heads
that said that basically 'this isn't right, this isn't normal."
Robert Stack: "Local resident Dotty Hearn was equally baffled.
By the time she stepped outside that morning, the storm had
ended, but the blobs were everywhere. "
Dotty Hearn (local resident): "It looked like hail, laying on
top of the wood box and everywhere else, so I just went over
and I touched it. It wasn't hail. It was a gelatinous
material."
Robert Stack: "By mid-afternoon, officer Lacey had
inexplicably taken ill."
David Lacey (police officer): "I was to the point where I
could hardly breathe. I started to put together that possibly
whatever the substance was, it had made me violently sick and
ill like I had never been before, to the point where it just
totally shut me down."
Robert Stack: "Across town, Dotty Hearn wasn't fairing much
better."
Dotty Hearn (local resident): "I started feeling dizzy, and
everything started moving around. It got worse, and as it did
I became increasingly nauseated.
Robert Stack: "An hour later, Dotty's daughter and son found
her sprawled on the bathroom floor."
Sunny Barclift: "She was cold, drenched with perspiration and
pale. My mom had been vomiting, had extreme vertigo and had
been complaining that she had extreme difficulty with her
vision.
Robert Stack: "Dotty would spend the next three days in the
hospital. They diagnosed her with "a severe inner ear
infection."
Sunny: "For some reason, as we were going out the door, I
remembered the substance, and I wondered if perhaps it might
have had some sort of effect on her. So, I opted at that
moment to take a sample of the gelatinous material to the
hospital."
Robert Stack: "A lab technician found the first startling
clue. The substance contained human white blood cells, but
exactly what it was could not be determined. The goo was
promptly forwarded to the Washington State Department of
Health for further analysis."
Mike McDowell (Microbiologist, WSDH): "It was very uniform.
There was no structure that we could see visibly with a
microscope. I set it up on various microbiological media and
attempted to isolate bacteria."
Robert Stack: "Mike McDowell discovered that the sample was
literally teaming with two species of bacteria, one of which
make its home in the human digestive system."
Sunny: "The initial speculation was that it might have been
human waste from an airliner, however that was out, because
under FAA regulations aircraft waste matter is dyed blue.
This material was not blue, but crystal clear in color."
Robert Stack: "The blobs rained down over Oakville six times
over a three week period. Dozens of people took ill and many
animals died after coming into contact with the toxic
droplets. But the nature of the substance, and any connection
it may have had with the outbreak, remained a mystery. Dotty
took a sample of the material to a private research lab."
Tim Davis (Microbiologist, Amtest Labs): "Here we have sample
128-76. I saw what I think was a eukaryotic cell, which was
basically a cell that has a definable nucleus and is present
in most animals."
Robert Stack: "Translation? The goo was alive. How in the
world did living matter make its way into the clouds? It was
as mind-boggling as the substance itself. Perhaps inevitably,
the finger of suspicion was pointed directly at the military.
The Air Force denies any knowledge of the substance, or any
involvement in creating or dispersing it. Local residents,
however, don't buy it."
Sunny: "We had a significant number of military aircraft
flying over the home prior to this happening."
Dotty: "Every day almost, there were low flying helicopters
that were black in color. We kind of thought it might have
come from them."
Maurice: "They let off things in the air all the time here.
There's testing done all over the place. There are places you
can't go into."
Robert Stack: "Translation -- germ warfare. However, it seems
unlikely, given the severe international restrictions
regarding experiments with biological weapons in populated
areas. At present, it is impossible to say what this goo was
or where it came from. Unfortunately, all samples of this
substance are gone, making further study impossible. Perhaps
the answer will come someday soon, when the skies open up over
another small community, and the blobs once again fall to
earth."
Media coverage of these events didn't stop there. A Seattle
television station show called Evening Magazine also broadcast
a story on the goings-on in Oakville in 1997. The Seattle
Post Intelligencer had stories on August 18th and 20th in 1994
shortly after the original Unsolved Mysteries broadcast.
Evidence that the same type of activity may still be occurring
in Washington State came in on Seattle TV Channel 5, 5:30pm,
on December 9, 1997, in which mysterious "blobs" of material
are now falling in Everett, Washington According to the
television news report on December 9th, mysterious goo turned
up in a parking lot in Everett, Washington. Appearing to be a
clear, gel-like substance similar to that which has been
periodically falling from the skies since 1994, coincident
with the overflight of military aircraft, it was discovered
after a storm. Hazardous materials testing failed to discover
what the substance was. Samples have been sent to a
laboratory for testing. The news broadcast made reference to
six 1994 falls of similar unidentifiable material in Oakville,
Washington. Testing results should be known within a week,
according to the news broadcast.
FLUBBER fell on the wrong Washington.

Mystery Sky Gel Full Of Bacteria
& White Blood Cells
Black Helicopters And Triangle Also Appear Over Washington Town
From Noah's Dove
http://www.sightings.com/health/mysteryskygel.htm
By Peter Petrisko

Three years ago, a mysterious gelantinous material fell from
the sky over Oakville, WA (pop. 700), when a rainstorm left
more than the usual puddles.
One witness, Sunny Barclift, found small lumps of clear gel at
her mother's farm. Shortly thereafter, she witnessed, in her
words, "(black) helicopters that were unmarked, and not
numbered... (that) flew very low" over the area. These
helicopters were followed, according to Barclift, by a large
triangular craft that "made absolutely no sound whatsoever,
and glowed all around the periphery." She estimated its size
as 80' x 100'.
Unlike most "star jelly", which seems to coincide with falling
stars, this gel did not dissolve almost immediately. Barclift,
a former National Safety Council employee, collected samples
and began a journal of "gel shower" incidents.
Barclift sent samples to the Public Health Laboratories, in
Seatlle, for analysis. The analysis showed the gel was full of
harmful bacteria (the report listed "Pseudomonas fluorescens"
and "Enterobacter cloacae") and human white blood cells. It
would be a short time, however, before this report came back.
In the interim, the town had no idea what was in the
gelantinous material.
Within a few days of the first shower, Barclift's mother
became ill (inner ear infection, according to her doctor) and
more than a dozen kittens on the premises died.
Neither the FAA, nearby McCord Air Force Base, nor the State
Health Department had an explanation for the falling gel.
Oakville police chief Gerry Greub didn't take Barclift's first
call seriously, until three days later when a police officer's
patrol car was covered by more falling gel. After the officer,
and other townfolk, became so sick they were hospitalized,
Greub looked into the matter.
"They (McCord AFB) told me it was from bombing off of the
coast," Greub said, "that it was probably jelly fish being
thrown into the air and then blown inward."
The coast is nearly 50 miles from Oakville, WA. It was shortly
thereafter that the Public Health Labs report came back.
After a few more weeks of sporadic "gel shower" occurrences,
it stopped altogether.
In April of '97, Oakville was visited by four strangers --
dressed in dark suits -- who asked abut the "gel shower"
incidents of a few summers back. A local police officer, Jon
Lubben, 'ran' the license plates of their vehicles. Lubben
said, "They belonged to someone living in Fort Hood, Texas;
and from experience I knew that is one of the big intelligence
contingencies. They were either intelligence gathering or
possibly (a) military investigation unit."
In the last three years, Barclift has cataloged "gel showers"
around the country, and finds most occur near Air Force bases.
She said, "Literally hundreds of people, across the country,
have witnessed the same thing in their own communities."
One author, Jim Keith ("Black Helicopters Over America"), said
the gel and strange triangular craft are not a coincidence,
but evidence of military experiments on the population.
"From the research I've done," Keith explained, "I think a
testing of a bio-warfare agent took place over Oakville,
Washington."
Three weeks ago, another "gel shower" took place in Oakville,
indicating, if Keith is correct, the experiments continue.
