This Article was Just found from April 2009 about A White Rain Mystery in the U.K. - it seems it was never tested for what chemicals and substances were in it!
Article:
A MYSTERY white substance that fell on parts of a town in Flintshire has left residents baffled.
People in Connah's Quay are at a loss to explain the so-called "white rain", which has been likened to talcum powder.
Residents in the Golftyn area of the town contacted the Leader on Friday after waking up to find the strange residue on their cars and washing.
One York Road resident said: "I was really concerned at first because I thought it could be corrosive or dangerous.
"The only way I can describe it is white rain. It looked like someone had thrown a flour bomb but on closer inspection it was definitely a strange kind of residue.
"You can see it everywhere – it's all over the cars in the street and it has covered our clothes washing.
"I've lived here for most of my life and I've never seen anything like it before. I think it might be some kind of pollution from local industry."
Cllr Macfarlane, who represents the Golftyn ward, said: "I honestly can't explain it. We have had some localised examples of this kind of thing in the past, but I wouldn't like to say what caused this.
"If people are concerned then it's something that needs to be looked into."
It is not the first time people living in Connah's Quay have raised concerns over mysterious substances falling on their town.
Last year, residents in Garthorpe Avenue noticed strange yellow spots appearing all over their cars, windows and washing.
Resident Dave Webster was so concerned at the effect that the strange spots could be having on his and his neighbours' health, he posted questionnaires through all the doors in his street, asking people to confirm whether they had experienced problems.
He received responses from almost all of the recipients confirming they had, and he contacted both the Environment Agency and Flintshire Council to see if some tests could be carried out.
Speaking when the problem was at its worst, Mr Webster said: "It started in early August. We found yellow spots all over our washing that had been drying on the line and they would not come off.
"There were also yellow spots all over our window sill, which are still there as they have burnt into the PVC, and yellow spots all over a lot of the cars in the street."
But despite months of meeting and inquiries, the source of the spots remains a mystery.
Notice there is nothing saying the White Rain WAS Tested!! Why Not?

More Pictures From Slovenia of White Rain with Email 12/17/09 12:51pm
The person from Slovenia was trying to get the drops up - so they could be sent for testing, they are having a bit of a problem. Here is the email from them.
Hi Sherrie!
Today I was going taking samples from the drops - but der is a problem, they wont get down, ther are so hard pasted-stuck on the surfaces, you cant get they down!! I was scrape the drops with a razor blade and after a good time of scraping, they are get into white dust. They are not get into smal pieces, particles but into white dust. So I cant take samples, only so, when I take a wet piece wadding and wipe it up, other ways its not going. But I dont now if this is then ok, if such a samples are then ok? What are you think.
And after them I was taking a piece wadding with alcohol 96% and wipe-rubbing this drops with it and the white colour was down and the drops became fully clear!! - under the white colour of the drops is a fully clear drop, like a clear gelatine, but hard as a stone!! For this reason they wont get down!! We was so wondering about this. Never we saw such a thing! I was drove today arond with the car and everywhere are the roads full of this white drops, they dont get down. And how many such a drops are around in the nature, on the fields, in the gardens...and everywhere!! And what is this??
Here I send you pictures from today, how the drops are now look like on the car and how they look like after the rubbing with the 96% alcohol- (picture 1194), you can see it well.
Kind regards from Slovenia!
I asked them, to Not touch the samples with their hands - Also - if there is another time to get fresh samples - get them then. At this time, is does not look like we will get the samples tested from last weeks White Rain.

Slovenia White Rain Samples are Going to Be Tested 12/16/09 5:26pm
The person from Slovenia is sending the samples to someone for the "White Grit Rain" to be tested.
They are sending them out of the country, so it may take awhile for the testing and results to get done.
I will post the results of the test when they are available.
I will be asking the people from Poland to try and get their sample of the White Rain there and send it to the same place the Slovenia people will be sending it to.

Email From Poland - Same Type Rain and Spots Are Occurring 12/16/09 6:59am
I just received an email from Poland. This person saw the pictures of Slovenia's White Grit Rain and realized they too had the same thing happening.
If people from other countries around there are also having a "White Grit Rain or Snow" please contact me.
There seems to be more verifications of White Goo following low flying planes in the Eastern European area.
Here is the email:
Hi Sherrie, I've asked You some time about the M3 masks- thanks for the help -I've already got one and some hard case filters also. but thats not the reason I'm writing - some days ago before it stared to snow here in Poland (I live near Wrocław) I saw similar white spots on my car- I thought it could be bird shit but now that I sea those pictures from slovenia and from that car window I know it was not from birds.... and it was even much bigger and my car was just covered with this. Second thing is that since about 4-5 weeks I constantly hear a low flying plane... I can hear one plane between 10-11 pm and in the morning 5-6. I tell You- the sound is like from a WWII bomber :) You just cant overhear it. I told this to my friend who lives some 10 km away from me and as he heard "plane" he said "yea , I hear one 22-23 -and the next one in the morning- so theres got to be more flying than just one over me. When i see some spots like those from Slovenia I'll send them to You.
