Mysterious goop falls out of the sky in suburban Michigan

By Melissa Cronin

Overnight, a small town in Michigan was blanketed with a layer of viscous black goo. It came down in 26,000-person Harrison Township earlier this week, causing alarm and a slew of questions, foremost among those being: What is this stuff?

According to reports, the tar-like substance came raining down from the sky all over the area, with one resident telling The Macomb Daily that at first, he “thought it was bird crap.” WXYZ-TV News in Detroit reports that residents are angry about the ubiquitous substance:

What’s more, no one seems to know what the substance is, or where it came from. Fire Department Chief Michael Lopez said that the substance is not flammable, and “does not appear to be a fuel substance.” Chris Ethridge, of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), told Grist that inspectors went out to Harrison Township on Wednesday to take a sample of the fallout, and won’t know its ingredients until a microscopic analysis is complete — and that could take weeks.

“This is the first time we’ve ever heard this kind of complaint in that area,” Ethridge said.

But there is one major suspect: nearby Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Many residents immediately speculated that the base, which sends planes screaming above Harrison Township, was to blame.

After residents called the base to complain, however, Selfridge denied any culpability.

“Based on all of these reviews, there is no indication that the substance in question came from a military aircraft of any type,” officials said, according to The Detroit News.

Ethridge confirmed that the DEQ “has suspicions that it’s coming from the base next door,” but added that he couldn’t confirm it just yet. Until the tests come back, it falls to residents to clean up the oily goop — without even knowing what it is yet.

Look..xfiles! I want to believe..

I have no rational explanation.

I started doing the searches after the Michigan incident, & found more .No idea..how many places in the world in the last 4-5 yrs.
Seems to have started in 2011.

I gonna check it out, definitely different.

Anyone analysed it yet? Seems inevitable someone would,even at an amatuer level. I mean,c'mon you so called truthers,pony up for a lab test between you and spend some of the YouTube royalties on actual research instead of half baked assumptions and pre biased opinions.

Have you heard of any such test?

It is creepy.. Make it stop..

The most recent one is being tested. The video that I posted with it says the test will be back in a few days.
Closest Military base says, they know nothing & nothing has been reported, as far as planes.

http://www.sott.net/article/312563-Strange-black-goo-rains-down-on-Michigan-town that article altho I can't verify its accuracy reckons samples have been taken,so ppl of Michigan,I mean you Mr Moore,get on the case!

Your right Sassy, not easy to find. Last time it happens was 1762 in Gross Point,Michigan. Here's the link;

Ouh..the photo of it from News network is disgusting . It looks like pony sh@t.

Probably is!
My thoughts,from the scant evidence available to me?
It's the substance of tar suggests petrochemical overspill caught in a cloud after an ejection from a refinery or something similar would be a logical train of thought,it could be the aliens pet pidgeons just doing they biznuss?

"The statement said the airbase has 'been in communication with the Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality, which was sending a representative to the area in
question to review the material'.

A representative. From one agency.
Who are they kidding.

They will need more than that.

I meant an independent test

Not that I seen. I wanted to check all the articles & news footage & find a time span, colors, texture (gooy & the New York one turned to power!? When dry) etc..

Conspiracy theories.. Last on my list.

Time span and news reports can and are altered,what's needed is an independent mobile lab,like what was used in UK in the 80's testn MDMA to keep ravers safe but able to roam recover analyse and report independently,such things are beyond truthers financial capacity tho,so it'll never be answered honestly,think of the civil suits it'd create,it's always about the money,follow that.

damn,even the Gods are gooping on us now!
Wonder what the Substance is,though!

Good one for the Fortean Times!

Charles Fort would have enjoyed that one!

Wow, first there's Angel Trumpets (again, didn't that first occur in 2011 as well? Could that be related?) and now we get black chit falling from the sky?

Great that ppl have to clean it up themselves... Lord knows how toxic the stuff turns out to be
Wouldn't this be where you'd get the Hazmat suits out? Or maybe the fact they aren't doing that indicates 'they' know what it is.
However 'they' are, it's about time they get rounded up. With RoundUp maybe, fight fire with fire, feed them their own chit.

Yes the sky sounds began in 2011 as well. I have listened to 3 types/ sets of sound recordings from around the world.
There are some variations in the way people describe the sounds.
Like trumpets or shofar.

This black goo. Yikes. I am really concerned about humans, animals, land, trees etc.. I don't understand why there hasn't been a mass evacuation!

Licorice for all!
