Would You Like Some Rain With Your Eggs?

I've been longing to write a headline that has nothing to do with the story below it. And this was sort of it.

Here's a fun little piece about some eggs, and orange ones at that, which appeared suddenly on the shores of a lagoon and river near the tiny Alaskan village of Kivalina.

The eggs are of unknown origin, though there is suspicion they might be from a crustacean. Whatever these  are, they aren't well-known to the villagers there, who have never seen anything like it. And to ramp up the fun factor, while some stories skip mentioning it, some villagers report finding the orange mess in their rainwater collection buckets directly after a Wednesday evening rain.

Those of you familiar with Charles Fort, who collected accounts of anomalous falls of fish and frogs, among other events, will no doubt be anxious to follow this story and see how it develops. Did the strange orange goo wash inland, or did it fall in the rain?
