Refimprove date January 2010 No footnotes date January 2010 The Mississauga Blob was the name given to a flaming object&mdash later identified as a Flying disc frisbee &mdash that fell on a back yard picnic table in Mississauga , Ontario , Canada , at about 5 00 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, 1979. Traven Matchett and his daughter Donna were in their backyard when the flaming object plummeted onto their picnic table. The object reportedly passed close to nineteen year old Donna s head. She extinguished the flames with a garden hose. The glowing, flaming object is said to have been perfectly cylindrical with flames about 18 inches high. After cooling, the remains appeared to be a flat, dark green rock, 8 inches in diameter with a fibrous, pock marked texture. Traven Matchett contacted Toronto Pearson International Airport then Toronto International Airport , a nearby Canadian Forces base, the University of Toronto and the Ontario Science Centre . Apparently, none of these contacts offered Mr. Matchett any explanation. He then contacted the Toronto Sun and a story was published on Sunday, June 27, 1979, attracting worldwide attention. The Ministry of the Environment Ontario Ontario Ministry of the Environment sent an inspector. Regional Municipality of Peel Peel Regional Police questioned the family and neighbours and concluded the object was a flaming Frisbee thrown into their yard as a prank.

The blob then spreads slowly over 1 2 million years, becoming a ring shaped ripple and decreasing in height as it does so. This phenomenon has been postulated as being responsible for the raising of the sea bed of the North Sea off Scotland , leading to river valleys now buried again deep below the ocean. Further, uplift and resulting depressurisation and disassociation of clathrate deposits at the time of the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum PETM is suggested as a cause of the carbon excursions identified in the fossil record at this time, which are believed to be responsible for the dramatic climate change seen at this time.

Cleanup date February 2011 Opaque binary blob OBB is a term used in network engineering and computer science to refer to a sizeable piece of data, which looks like binary garbage from outside, by entities which do not know what that blob denotes or carries, but make sense to entities which have access permission and access functions to them. It is also a pejorative term for compiler compiled code without the source code made available see binary blob .
