While driving back to Alaska on Nov. 11th traveling up I-5 approximately
30
miles north of Sacramento and continuing to Red Bluff I saw a strange
substance falling from or floating in the sky.
I noticed strings of fiber like material of varying lengths, a few
inches to
many feet long (up to 50), floating at various elevations above the
highway.
After maybe 10-15 miles of seeing this and noticing some along the
shoulders
and on the roadway I stopped at a rest area and saw many strings of this
attached to trees, signs, and on the lawn. I used a straw and twirled
strings of it into a ball about the size of a golf ball and put in a
drink
cup with lid and put in a zip lock bag. That sample today is about half
the
original size.
These ranged from clusters half the size of my hand, to rope like
diameters
ball point pen size, down to spider web size. As I collected the sample
some
of the thinner strings attached to my arm and seemed to have a sticky,
almost suction type attachment. A burning sensation followed for about
10
minutes after pulling off of arm, even after washing at rest area
restroom.
No apparent skin irritation appeared.
One rope like strand, about 12-15 feet long was horizontal across the
road
at about 3 feet and stuck to my vehicle from the far left bumper, up
across
the headlights and grille and continued up across the hood to the bottom
edge of the windshield. This is still visible today, although shrunk to
a
thin thread, however, it survived approximately 1,000 miles of rain and
1,600 miles of snow on the balance of the trip to Anchorage.
I took the sample to a lab here in Anchorage and the CEO was amazed at
it
but said no lab here was capable of analyzing it and referred me to a
lab in
Colorado. He asked for my name and number (I thought that was strange
since
he couldn't help me) and the next morning he called me to say that I
should
be very careful with this material. He had done some research since I
left
his lab the day before and said similar substances had been collected in
22
states over the past year and he believed it could have some harmful
bacteria associated with it. His estimate for me to get this tested was
from
$275 to $10,000. I am not able to do an expensive test but am willing to
send sample to someone that can test it or has an interest in this
sample.
