This is a mystery alright. I have just as much trouble accepting that several thousands litres of bats blood made its way into the rain clouds for several months over the same area as I do for cometary debris containing cells raining down over the area. ? Question, do we know what kind

This got really good coverage a while back. I recall that there was some lepidoptrist (I hope I spelt it correctly) among us who believed that it was likely bits of some mass butterfly swarm. There was also a lot of confusion about why it had taken them so long to come to any sort of conclusion

Hi all: So was this like Bart's Comet (for those of you who know the Simpson's cartoon) where Bart discovers a comet and it is always over Springfield as it comes crashing to Earth. Actually the discovery was more accurate than any of the disasteroid movies that come out at about the same

Still an interesting puzzler! I'm sure that this self-contradicting press release is just one more of the usual media screw-ups/misquotes when it comes to science. Is there somewhere else that would have more on this current statement? I had a look, but couldn't find anything... Cheers,
