The mysterious blue balls which ‘rained’ down on a Dorset garden were merely a common substance found in nappies, scientists have claimed.
Following Steve Hornsby’s discovery of the small blue globules, after a hailstorm last week, some unusual explanations have been put forward about the find.
Researchers at Bournemouth University had speculated that the small
blue balls may be marine invertebrate eggs which could be transferred
from the feet of birds.
Mystery: Scientists claim they have solved the mystery behind these blue globules found in a garden in Dorset last week
But following further consideration the same group of scientists told The Guardian they have solved the puzzle.
Research assistant Josie Pegg confirmed
the substance was sodium polyacrylate, sometimes used in gardening
or agriculture to improve soil, as well as being used in nappies.
She said ‘Speculation on the nature of the mystery jelly balls has provided much
entertainment, but now that we have possession of a sample we can rule
out some of the early guesses.
Nappies: Apparently the blue balls are made of sodium polyacrylate, a substance commonly found in nappies
‘Having examined the balls under a
high-powered microscope, we can discount living material.’
Although it is still not known how the substance made its way into Mr Hornsby’s garden in Bournemouth, Pegg added ‘Perhaps someone was having a clear-out and chucked them over
the fence.
One possible explanation for the dozen small spheres, which are 3cm in diameter, being found in the garden however, is that the heavy rain turned effectively
invisible dry crystals into the gel-like blue balls.
Having collected the strange objects in a
jar Mr Hornsby told the BBC that before they emerged the sky turned an
unusual dark yellow colour before the storm began.
Remarkable: Meterologist Steve Roberts of Weathernet described the discovery of blue balls like this as ‘remarkable’ but scientists claim they are made of an everyday substance
Bizarre: Steve Hornsby, from Bournemouth, was left mystified to discover small blue spheres in his garden following a hailstorm
The former aircraft engineer said at the time ‘As I walked outside to go to the
garage there was an instant hail storm for a few seconds and I thought, ‘what’s that in the grass?’
‘It is very jelly-like and it is almost impossible to pick up.
‘They have an exterior shell with a softer inner but have no smell, aren’t sticky and do not melt.’

Don’t tell me … they were actually in the compost he put on his garden and he only noticed them once it rained and they swelled up!

“The crystals are probably coming from the “super absorbent layer” found in most disposable diapers. This layer consists of paper fluff and a chemical absorbent called sodium polyacrylate. Sodium polyacrylate is an amazing water absorber — it can absorb 200 to 300 times its weight in tap water (even more if the water is distilled) and hold it in a gooey gel.” Google result

Perhaps it was a weather balloon.

It was me. I was on top of Cranborne Chase, I had a pack of nappies with me. Their happened to be a northerly breeze. I just decided to launch them in the air to see what happens.
The used nappies ended up in Southampton apparently.

Ahhh, so it was exactly what we all said it was. Excellent. More money well spent on the ‘experts’.
