Ummmm.....I live like a mile from that intersection. South. I haven't gotten shit....but that would also require going outside.

Interesting it’d be localized like that. I wonder if there’s a factory/plant upwind with a bad stack or air scrubber. Any local knowledge?
momma2elevencats
This is the first time I heard about this. Maybe I should watch the News sometimes. Or maybe not.

They don't normally do anything over the city. They stick themselves over the desert northeast of Nellis AFB. That's the odd part.

That's how Muricans roll. With out any waek ass help from science and other communisms.

Darker colored liquids are usually a messy solution of all kinds of bullshit. You need a full lab on this, and thats expensive.

So much for that idea
JustDontGiveAF
Not sure if you follow American politics, but hiring a chemist to investigate would cost taxpayers and that's communism and anti freedumb.

eh, as a former bench monkey, I'd have gone out and taken a sample and tossed it under a scope just out of boredom.
Fastjack2056
Looking at the article, this is happening to locals and not tourists. So... there's no money in it
xL0opx
I'm thinking hobbyists, if I had the skills and knowledge I'd be all over this just for the slightest potential to discover something weird

HappyLookouuut
Most comments I’m seeing are ignoring the point about this taking place over WEEKS, which makes this very concerning. It’s not just A plane
JelloGearSemisolid
my bet is it's from oil rigs

who even says it's a plane that's the cause.

They don’t think it’s normal rain with ash mixed into it from the massive eruption that occurred recently?

Hey, If we could think I'm sure some of us would be very upset with that

Why did they make him a fucking clown
cleverlydisguised
I will agree that I really dont like the direction they've gone with venom, I did really enjoy that exchange in the movie.
darkninja2992
Still better than how the comics had been doing him in the past year
AnonKneeMoose
He is a fucking clown…. He’s Venom not the Punisher
KingTonTon
Venom was 90s edge more than anyone. His literal motto was "brainssss" because he ate peoples brains. He was not like this.
CaptainSomebody
It's also 30 years later now, yes he is
Traja01
I’m not asking for him to be the punisher. I’m asking for him to be venom, not a cringy clown
Traja01
The venom movies are bad and it makes me sad because he was my favorite.
MizKriss
I liked the first one because it was dumb stupid fun, but the 2nd one was incredibly cringy.
NewToTheEnterwbs
Not fighting or anything but do you feel the same with Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc?
Traja01
No, I thought the writing was better in those movies.
CaptainSomebody
Yeah, it was very accurate to the comics. My favourite quote is "-Eddie Brock, who was inexplicably his favourite host-" to paraphrase.
CaptainSomebody
From the comic with meat garden venom. Venom: The end, iirc.

Bullshit story
Orzufancylad
Oh? Do you have a source or evidence of your claim?
gripped86
No I mean the article was like three paragraphs and 500 fucking adds. But it might ha e something to do with all the ufos lately??
freshthrowaway1138
it had the actual video news report on the page.
siegfriedwatson
So less of a bullshit story and more of a really bullshit website design, hate those >_<
Orzufancylad
I think it is a local news stations website. They are all crap looking in my experience.
bronx72a
They don't say anyone saw or felt it raining. Could be from an insect. Probably not, just a thought.
JesaraB
Someone should look into high altitude insect swarm droppings, they're known for making it seem like light rain from a clear sky.
bronx72a
Or like aphids in trees leave sticky residue on cars all the time.
JesaraB
And Vegas has repeatedly in recent years had Grasshopper swarms high enough to be picked up on Radar (normally later but earlier every year)
ActuallyAPirate
Planes dump fuel all the time, wonder if it's that. Or could be from the lavatory tanks
Ullur
Plane fuel will be blue or red if it's a recip engine, straw or clear it's a turbine. Some oils can cook off to a near-black, though.
steve3p0
Plane fuel isn’t black hombre
tiptoeingthru
For 3 weeks?
Jamerperson
Planes have to dump fuel at a certain altitude and area so that it is completely dispersed prior to hitting the ground.
Jamerperson
And they aren't allowed to dump blackwater (lavatory) tanks at all.
ActuallyAPirate
and everyone follows all the rules all the time? im just speculating.
METROlD
It's pretty easy to tell the difference between oil, rust, or shit.

StarmineRendezvous

DALLASLAVOWNER

Vesane
Surely somebody there has a microscope? That article is just people speculating without anyone having investigated the actual substance
Orzufancylad
Do you carry one to look at weird black blobs? If you had one, could you tell what it was by looking at it? I know I couldn't.
BishlamekGurpgork
Their follow up comment says all of this, but also that it would be a good start.
RecurringNightmare
tv told me CSI would have solved the mystery within 45mins as a 'stuff falling from the sky' storyline surely doesnt warrant a 2-parter...
Vesane
Not that microscopes magically identify everything, I know, but it's a reasonable start to an analysis of it, I would think
ManByTechnicality
Microscope is easy, cheap, doesn't require adding chemicals, can rule out so many things and give decent idea of which direction to head.
Vesane
Exactly!
JerBear159
A microscope would be a good start, but I don't understand why they don't just put it through the nearest university's mass spectrometer.
JohnSmithterms
Does las vegas even have a uni? Calltech in LA might have one.
babycoolredhead
UNLV
DrKriegersClone
Worth a try. Even finding it's something that doesn't ionize and fly well would rule out some possibilities.
palmo
Because without having a basic idea of what it might be to know how to separate it you end up with a jumble of a spectra including everythin
Vesane
Even better, yeah! Like there's several avenues of investigation here that they've just... Not checked if someone's done?
hagantic
FTIR should always be your first test. Low cost non destructive and easily identifies a fuckton of stuff in like 30 seconds.
Vesane
hagantic

Vegas is also a X roads in the sky
Dysfunkshunill
Not quite. Nellis is nearby, but they don't fly over the city much, they fly north & west of there, and east of Frenchman
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
I'd avoid a Frenchman at all costs, too.
Electromedy
That's what the guberment wants you to think.
Theotokoss
The flight path is most assuredly over the city. During any of the "flags" ('Red' just ended) the launches are mind-numbingly loud & long AF
MaelinStarpyre
Oh there another red flag in a few months. I'm sure we'll be there again.
Theotokoss
Truth.
Exyr
I mean the video shows military aircraft flying overhead as well as the person saying they fly overhead.
EroticZombiePants
Whatever it is, I'm sure it's part of an insane secret experiment that will lead to many people getting sick and dying. Happened many times.

Yea no I'm pretty sure it's the ghosts of ancient aliens actually.
Theotokoss
They do fly over East Vegas, and they fly over my house in North Vegas. I will NOT be surprised if it was aircraft related.
BabeAfett
There's also a sewage treatment plant not far from there. Apparently this has happened before when there was a leak in a new pipe...
Dysfunkshunill
I used to live near Aliante, they flew over all the damn time and shit was loud af. I live on the east side, so I just get the commercial
