M’chilimwe cha 1994, m’tauni yaing’ono ya Oakville, Washington, kunachitika chinthu chodabwitsa. Anthu a m’dzikoli anali atatsala pang’ono kukumana ndi zinthu zimene zikanawadodometsa n’kumadzikayikira. Zonsezi zinayamba pamene mabala a gelatinous anagwa kuchokera kumwamba, akuphimba chirichonse chomwe chikuwoneka.
Masamba odabwitsawa sanali madontho amvula wamba. Zinali zinthu zooneka ngati odzola, zowoneka bwino komanso zomata pakukhudza. Tangoganizani kudzuka m'mawa wina kuti mupeze tawuni yanu yonse ili ndi goo lodabwitsali. Oakville idakhala malo a surreal komanso adziko lina, ngati kuti adalandidwa ndi zinthu zachilendo zachilendo.
Koma mabulogu a Oakville sanali odabwitsa chabe. Iwo anabwera ndi mavuto ambiri azaumoyo kwa anthu okhalamo. Ambiri anayamba kutopa, nseru, matenda a kupuma, ndi zizindikiro za chimfine. Pamene mabala a gelatinous anapezeka kuti ali ndi mabakiteriya, zinkawoneka zomveka kuti atha kukhala omwe amachititsa matenda odabwitsawa. Komabe, mkangano woti kaya mabakiteriyawo analidi ovulaza mokwanira kuchititsa zizindikiro zoterozo sunathe.
Chomwe chinapangitsa kuti zinthu zisokonezeke kwambiri ndi chakuti zitsanzo za ma blobs anasowa modabwitsa asanayesedwenso. Izi zinadzetsa kukayikirana pakati pa anthu a m’tauniyo ndipo zinasonkhezera malingaliro ochitira chiwembu ponena za kubisa. Kodi panali mphamvu zoseweredwa zomwe sizinkafuna kuti chowonadi chiwululidwe?
Ziphunzitso zosiyanasiyana zinatuluka pofuna kufotokoza chiyambi cha mabuloguwo. N’kutheka kuti zinali nsomba za m’madzi zimene zinasesedwa ndi zinthu zachilengedwe kapena zopangidwa ndi anthu, monga mphepo yamkuntho kapena mphepo yamkuntho. Komabe, chiphunzitsochi sichinathe kufotokoza chifukwa chake mabulosiwo adayambitsa matenda pakati pa anthu okhalamo.
Chiphunzitso china chinati zipolopolozo zinachitika chifukwa choyesa mwachinsinsi zida za tizilombo toyambitsa matenda. Ena amaganiza kuti Oakville idakhala malo oyesera mwangozi mtundu watsopano wa mabakiteriya okhala ndi zida kapena poizoni. Pamene kuli kwakuti chiphunzitso chimenechi chinawoneka kukhala chotsimikizirika kwa ena, panalibe umboni weniweni wochirikiza icho.
Chimodzi mwa ziphunzitso zochititsa chidwi zomwe zinaperekedwa chinali chakuti mabulosiwo anali okhudzana ndi chodabwitsa chotchedwa star jelly. Jelly ya nyenyezi, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti astromyxin kapena astral jelly, ndi gelatinous zinthu zomwe nthawi zina zimawonekera pansi. Komabe, sichinawonedwepo chikugwa kuchokera kumwamba kapena cholumikizidwa ndi matenda kapena kufa kwa nyama. Kulumikizana pakati pa jelly ya nyenyezi ndi ma blobs a Oakville, ngati alipo, kunakhalabe chinsinsi.
Ngakhale kafukufuku ndi zokambirana zambiri, zenizeni za mabulosi a Oakville sizikudziwikabe. Popanda zitsanzo zomwe zatsala komanso kuyezetsa kosakwanira, palibe njira yodziwiratu zomwe zinali kapena komwe zidachokera. Zikuwoneka kuti chodabwitsa ichi chadutsa m'ming'alu ya kumvetsetsa kwa sayansi, kusiya anthu okhala ku Oakville ndi malingaliro achidwi omwe ali ndi chidwi chosatha komanso chiwembu.
Ngakhale ena amatha kufulumira kutchula ma blobs a Oakville ngati gawo la chiwembu choyipa kapena chiwembu, chingakhale chanzeru kukumbukira kuti chilengedwe chimakhala chodzaza ndi zochitika zachilendo. Dziko lathuli ndi lachilengedwe lovuta komanso losiyanasiyana, ndipo nthawi zina zinthu zachilendo zimachitika zomwe zimasokoneza kumvetsetsa kwathu.
Mwamwayi, panalibe imfa zomwe zanenedwa chifukwa cha mabulogu a Oakville, ndipo sizinachitikenso. Zochitikazo, zilizonse zomwe zikanakhala, zinkawoneka kuti zabwera ndikuchoka modabwitsa monga momwe zinafikira. Tawuni ya Oakville pang'onopang'ono idabwerera m'malo mwake, ngakhale ndi mafunso osakhalitsa omwe adakhazikika m'chikumbukiro cha onse okhalamo.
Nkhani ya Oakville Blobs ikadali imodzi mwazosangalatsa komanso zochititsa chidwi zododometsa za nthawi yathu ino. Chodabwitsa ichi ndi chimodzi mwa zikumbutso zowerengeka kuti padziko lapansi padakali zinsinsi zomwe zikudikirira kuti ziululidwe, ndikuti nthawi zina, ngakhale zochitika zachilendo zimatha kulephera kufotokozera. Mwina tsiku lina asayansi adzayimitsa chowonadi chowopsa kumbuyo kwa mabulosi a gelatinous omwe adagwa kuchokera kumwamba ku Oakville.
