tiny blue spheres fell from the sky

A man in Dorset has been left mystified after tiny blue spheres fell from the sky into his garden.
Steve Hornsby from Bournemouth said the 3cm diameter balls came raining down late on Thursday afternoon during a hail storm.
He found about a dozen of the balls in his garden. He said: "[They're] difficult to pick up, I had to get a spoon and flick them into a jam jar."
The Met Office said the jelly-like substance was "not meteorological".
Mr Hornsby, a former aircraft engineer, said: "The sky went a really dark yellow colour.
"As I walked outside to go to the garage there was an instant hail storm for a few seconds and I thought, 'what's that in the grass'?"

I've always wondered what would happen if someone was to dump some finely ground polymer crystals into an advancing storm front from altitude.

I'm sorry. I forget that sarcasm comes across poorly in written form. I could have taken my time to write an educated response that may have included references to things like widespread weather manipulation and such, but I figured I would leave that to the experts to debate.
