This episode focusses on what little we know about so called Star Jelly, which many believe to be an extraterrestrial substance deposited after meteor showers and even UFO encounters.

The mysterious footprints, which appeared overnight in heavy snowfall in South Devon in 1855, have never been adequately explained. According to reports, they stretched for over one hundred miles, and went through solid walls and haystacks, appearing on the other side as though there was no barrier.
