Initial data
In the town of Goochland, Virginia (USA) a married couple Peter and Mary RIPP found on the lawn outside his home a few clumps of unusual jelly-like substance.
According to them it may be the mysterious "star jelly" (angel hair). The so-called strange substance of unknown origin, often find after a rain, and that among scientists still there is no consensus.
Someone says that it is a secretion of snails or frogs, others that it captured the wind from the sea jellyfish. "Star jelly" people discover many hundreds of years and there is even a story from the 14th century.
As reported by NBC12, the strange jelly of Rippy found on 12 June and at first thought it was residue from the dry ice. However, on closer examination it turned out that the touch is like jelly and not cold.
Experts gathered from site Rips samples "jelly" and studied it under a microscope. Then stated that in the sample there is neither cellular structure nor other characteristics of a living organism. According to one version it may be some kind of polymer water-based, used in potting mixes.
True as this polymer has hit the courtyard of Ripov, this version does not explain. According to spouses, they were not brought to him the bags with soil and never carried out recently in the yard of any work. The Tripp can believe it, this elderly couple that are maximum what to do in the yard, it mows your lawn. Therefore, as the substance has got to him, and that it's actually still a mystery.

Original news
GOOCHLAND, Va. (WWBT) - Five small piles of a strange substance sit in the yard of Peter and Maria Rippe’s backyard. It appears to be ice, but has a gelatinous feel.
"Doesn’t that look like the remains of a cooler?” Peter Rippe said, originally thinking someone had just dumped ice in his yard overnight.
The Rippes first made the discovery Tuesday morning. They believe the goo to be a phenomenon known as “star jelly," which experts say can be caused by remnants of meteors landing on Earth.
Rippe still has other running theories: “Frog regurgitation? Herring regurgitation, who ate the wrong frog? But if it was related to a frog, it must’ve been a mighty big one!”
NBC12 took a small sample of the substance to an agricultural expert in Chesterfield County to take a look under a microscope.
“There’s no cellular structure, no evidence of a living organism,” Mike Likins of the county’s cooperative extension, said.
Likins displayed real world examples of actual star jelly, but believes the Goochland goo isn’t the same, but rather a man-made, water-based polymer.
“This is used in a lot of your potting mixes, your bags of soil that they used for raised gardens," Likins said.
NBC12 did notify the Rippe’s of the discovery, much to their relief.

Mike Likins believes that this is an artificial polymer based on water.
"This is used in many of your potting mix in your bags of soil, which they use to fertilize gardens," said Likins.
