    The Oakville Blobs

    The Oakville Blobs

    In 1994, blobs of jelly seemed to fall out of the sky and land on Oakville, USA. Were they a military experiement? Alien remains? Bits of jellyfish? No one knows. More importantly, was it jelly or jell-o and did it go well with ice cream? Tiernan and Athena investigate. Chief Detectives, listen to the evidence and then you decide if the Oakville blobs were something strange or very normal and we all need to give our heads a wobble.
