Talk:Star jelly

message: Nuff said.
*The film Stephen King's Creepshow included a story segment entitled "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" which also centers around "goo" coming out of the center of a meteorite and changing the main character's life (not for the better).--Lordkinbote 22:19, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
**Herons / Storks eat frogs. Some frogs contain spawn and that cannot be digested. So starjelly, or heksensnot / sterrenschot as we call it in Dutch, is basically vomited frog spawn. Nuff said..

message: :Little scientific analysis has been done on Star Jelly, largely because the material dissolves so rapidly.
It's unclear that there actually is a single substance which does dissolve rapidly, so I removed the latter phrase.  I would expect another important reason why little scientific investigation has been done is that reputable scientists find claims about Star Jelly to be implausible and not worth looking into. -- Beland 05:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Scientific analysis

message: This rare find washes up on the beach in Wales sometimes and comes from the belly of sperm whales. - "It is described as a foul-smelling, gelatinous substance". The only problem is that it doesn't disappear after a few days, unless somebody who knows how valuable it is happens to stumble across it.
:Could explain coastal sightings, but wat about the inland ones?

replies: text: These star jelly have been found in  Washington State falling from the sky on video. so your theory of them coming from the ocean maybe some. what are the ones coming from the sky are those from meteors? 2603:6011:C822:7530:7DE0:6CAF:BE46:45E3 (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sounds like ambergris to me 

message: The pop culture section seems to contain this and that unrelated to the topic, just any phrase that happens to have anything like "jelly" or "star" in it. I propose the section is simply deleted. Four of the refs are dead links, the http://www.bartleby.com/216/0205.html link provides a ref to a allegedly poetic text that provides similes, happenstance one with "star" and afterwards one with "jelly".

thread_title: Pop culture

message: ALGAE-L Archives gives some explanations that I don't exactly know if they're properly citable, but it contains some non-UFO, non-astronomical explanations that doesn't sound too far fetched, in my estimation. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 13:43, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: FYI

message: I obviously don't have access to a 1502 edition of John of Gaddesden's Rosa Anglica, but a 1912 translation is available through the California Digital Library:
http://archive.org/details/johnofgaddesdenr00choliala
I searched for any mention of stars and jelly etc. and no appropriate reference came up. I therefore believe citations on this page are inaccurate. (Currently citation 7)
Unless someone else can verify the citation, let's remove it!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.252.13 (talk) 12:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
