Sometime in the mid 1990's (I'm guessing 1994-1996) in Southern Washington State my patio planters and all flower beds were covered in this stuff. This was right after a light rainfall and I happened to go out to look at my plants and found these odd gelatinous blobs all over everything....even some of the plants had it dripping from the stems and leaves.
Being curious....I picked some up with bare hands to examine closer....looked just like the blobs in your link Carla. They were not clear...but rather milky looking and inside were brown and darker brown (maybe black) deposits....kinda random inside the blobs...The blobs were irregular and seemed randomly shaped. I thought how odd this stuff is....suspected it had fallen from the sky and I guess passed it off as perhaps the result of the commercial planes "lightening" their load in preparation for landing....as I then lived under the flight path for landings during inclement weather.
A few years later in the Northern part of the state another similar occurrence was reported. In addition I found that another town in mid state reported similar material being found.

It is very strange stuff indeed and it did not melt like jelly....think I ended up scooping it up and tossing out.. and some of it I just buried in the back of the larger planter beds....probably not a great idea...but there was a lot of this stuff and I lived in a condo.

It's no wonder I have morgs with all the insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, garden worms, garden insects, and jelly blobs I have used or touched or squished with my bare hands.....all not exactly great things to build up one's immune system. Ignorance was bliss.....for a while anyway.
