Tuscon locals are baffled by the appearance of thousands of tiny, purple sphere that have appeared in the middle of a desert.
Geradine Vargas and her husband discovered the strange collection Sunday while on a walk.
'We were taking photos around the area and we just.... I mean, how could you miss this?' Geradine said. 'It was just like glittering in the sun.'
Possibilities: Some have speculated that the spheres could be a slime mold or jelly fungus or a man-made product for plant hydration
The news station checked out the spheres, reporting that they were like 'gooey marbles that ooze out a water substance when squished.'
Isolated: Everyone from botanists to tv crews has speculated on the sphere's origin
Other suggest they are a product, like Deco Beads which are small, colored, water-filled balls designed to keep plants hydrated. Though that does little to explain why thousands of them would have been put in the desert.
