Scientific American, 45-337, records the fall of a substance in the latter part of October 1881 in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Vesburge, Fort Howard, Sheboygan and Ozaukee, Wisconsin. It was described as “cobwebs.” “‘In all instances,’” Fort records the source as saying, “'the webs were strong in texture and very white.’ The Editor says: ‘Curiously enough, there is no mention in any of the reports that we have seen, of the presence of spiders.’”
