When a photographer and her husband trekked into the desert for a routine shoot, they didn’t expect to stumble onto an odd scene that left them scratching their heads: thousands of mysterious, gelatinous, purple orbs scattered in a circle in the middle of nowhere.

“We were taking photos around the area and we just… I mean, how could you miss this?” Geradine Vargas told KGUN-9. “It was just, like, glittering in the sun.”

Littered on the desert dirt were thousands of weird, purple orbs. They appeared to be gelatinous, filled with some kind of liquid, almost resembling frog eggs. Only supplementing the strangeness of the spheres were their location – the middle of the desert. Luckily, Vargas was a photographer and managed to snap a few photos of her find.

“We did email a friend of ours who’s a zoologist, but she didn’t know…i mean, she didn’t seem to recognize what it was.”

The KGUN-9 News team did their own research into the objects, with a Tucson Botanical Gardens botanist telling them that the strange orbs could be a kind of slime mold or jelly fungus. Our friend and Phoenix, AZ resident Jim Lippard let us know that the find comes after a record rain in the area, which could support the slime mold theory.

Another theory posed by some members of the Above Top Secret forums is that the purple spheres could be “art deco beads” used to keep plants hydrated (and stylish). But yet.. what would thousands of them be doing in the middle of the Arizona desert? Adding to the mystery is that if they were decorative plant beads (which are a bit expensive to be discarding so many of casually), they would need to be getting moisture from somewhere, otherwise they would dry and shrivel up quite quickly.

According to KGUN-9, the spheres are still there, glistening away in the sun, and they ooze a strange liquid when squeezed. One only hopes they washed their hands afterwards.

While the debate about exactly what these weird globs are, it’s worth mentioning the strange coincidence that on the exact date just last year, some very similar looking objects fell from the sky in Dorset, England. Those odd little orbs were a blue color, and fell in a “flash storm” that lasted about 20 seconds. Could there be a connection?

WOW that is crazy! I'd love to find out more about this. Especially the story from England.

it is weird, i have have heard of 4 different colors, with red and green also...

Just read the article. When I get up tomorrow i'm gonna look more into this. there has to be some explanation

Grape jello shots.

It looks like an art installation.

Maybe Chupacabra eggs, or ET took a serious crap....

It is a weird / interesting story...

What did they taste like?
Were they hallucinogenic?

Definitely Aliens

I dont believe in aliens. Maybe its a fungus. There is only one source that provide water for the others. This one maybe luckily dig its roots deeper to the ground. Its not odd after all because its still a plant the only thing you think its strange is the color. Well maybe it the climate or maybe its really there color. A family of those other colored fungus. The shape maybe formed in order to balance the distribution. Maybe the one located at the center is the mainsource of their food. I won't be upset if it multiply because fungus do multiply. I still need to read. This just my opinion.

Reptilian Eggs from space. I remember the movie.

i hate those things...

They laid eggs in Critters, but they weren't purple.

I was wondering where I left those....

You mean Godzilla Vs. SpaceGodzilla???


I checked the books by Charles Fort on strange objects recorded falling from the skies around the world; nothing like these recorded...

It is obviously man eating fungus!

Did anyone think to send one to the lab to find out what they're made of or what's inside?

Well duh!....clearly it is a jelly wrestling arena for female aliens.

Must've been some event if they left their jelly behind.

Anyone spot Waldo yet?

Eggs
