It was a normal Sunday in Vail for Geradine Vargas. Normala until she and her husband stumbled upon something kind of weird.
We were taking photos around the area and we just...I meana how could you miss this? Geradine said. It was just like glittering in the sun.
Thousands of tinya purple-hued spheres piled in the middle of no where.
It's just one of those things that you've never seen before.
They were waterya some where translucenta and the pile was completely isolated. Gerardine was amazeda and she wanted answers.
We did email a friend of ours who's a zoologista but she didn't know...i meana she didn't seem to recognize what it was.
Soa she sent KGUN-9 pictures of the spheresa hoping we could find some answers.
We checked out the mysterious spheres for ourselves todaya and they were still there. They're like gooey marbles that ooze out a water substance when we squish them. They rolla they shinea and they're out of this world.
Geradine was dying to know what they werea and so were we.
We spoke to Darlene Buhrowa director of marketing at Tucson Botanical Gardensa who's husband is a botanist. He said if these are something naturally occurringa they could be a slime mold or jelly fungus.
