- LAKELAND, Florida - Yet another
incident of "brown gooey" stuff falling from the sky hit this
northcentral Florida town (see February 17, 2001, Tampa Tribune story by
Steve Newborn). This is the latest of 35 similar incidents tracked since
January 1998 when the first documented event took place in Thomasville,
Pennsylvania. Nearly identical incidents took place in Michigan (2), Utah
(29), and Ontario, Canada (2), from 1998 onward.
-
- In this most recent "sky fall" in Lakeland,
citizens of the town claimed not to have seen any birds or planes that
might be responsible for the falling brown goo. This is a nearly identical
pattern to previous "sky goo" fallings with the exception of
Ontario, Canada where eyewitnesses did see a large silver plane dropping
a brownish red substance on their lakefront property and then flying out
over the waterway dropping the substance into McGregor Bay. Samples from
these sky goo incidents had been collected in 3 of the previous incidents.
In this most recent event in Lakeland, Florida, the Polk County Health
Department came out to the area to take samples for testing at an EPA lab
with results expected in several days.
-
- Readers may recall that earlier this week that the Pensacola
area, which is west of Lakeland, was the site of a mysterious and voluminous
brown gel-like goo that had washed up on the shoreline tracking from Pensacola
all the way to Mobile, Alabama.that's quite a lot of material for marine
life or "birds" of the feathered variety to produce. Birds of
the silver-winged metal variety are the more likely culprits. It seems
likely, then, that the brown goo involved in these two latest Florida incidents,
both along the shoreline of Pensacola and over the town of Lakeland, have
the same source - the sky.
-
- A report of lab results and further developments of this
current Lakeland "sky goo" story as well as still- pending lab
results from the Pensacola shoreline "goo" incident will follow
when those results are available.
