UPDATE:

Environment and Climate Change Canada has provided another theory on the nature of the jelly.

It is proposing that the jelly may be a result of sillica crystals may have been on the ground prior to the rain. These crystals retain water, and are found in things like potting soil and fertalizers.

Without being able to test the jellies, it is hard to determine exactly what they are.

 

ORIGINAL STORY:

It's not every day the rain has jelly in it.

But that is what Teena Klein, a realtor who lives just North of Swift Current, found in the rain water.

She noticed the little jellies, and posted them on Facebook.

Environment and Climate Change Canada pulled the whole office together when asked what they could be. The best guess that meteorologist Chris Stammers could offer was that they could have an origin in the Pacific.

"That's where the system began," said Stammers. "My guess is that maybe they got picked up there, and came back down here."

Stammers stated that this was only a hypothosis, and that he would need to confirm if it was even possible with a marine biologist.

If anyone has any idea what or where these jellies came from, they are encouraged to call ECCC.
