Space jelly?

Weird!!

What is this strange jelly people are finding on grassland throughout Scotland? A BBC Radio Scotland Out of Doors listener came across some in the Pentlands and his finding has sparked quite a debate, with several people sending in their own photos of similar findings.

Suggestions include that the substance is a type of mould, an animal excretion or even 'star snot' from meteorites.

ectoplasm is what I fist think of, but don't really kno...just tossing it out there

Ectoplasm (paranormal), a physical substance that supposedly manifests as a result of "spiritual energy" or "psychic phenomenon"

edit to add...that i doubt its ectoplasm - in my quick research about it i found this for reference

I've found this jelly in my backyard. I just figured the aliens excreted it through their skin when they came to abduct me. No big deal. When you gotta go...you gotta go. It looked and tasted like jelly. I'm sure glad I didn't step in it!

Its a brave person who eats mysterious leftovers from the backyard.

So come on guys. Ideas? Ectoplasim is good. How about the remains of rained down jellyfish? Arent they already like 97% water?
