Gerardine Vargas was taking pictures in the desert, when she stumbled upon something strange; an isolated pile of thousands of tiny purple tinted spheres. They’re wet, weird and nobody knows exactly what they are. But that didn’t stop the local news team...

They are possibly from an aircraft, having been dropped into a thunderstorm in a form of "cloud seeding" do monitor weather effects or related. I feel there is a terrestrial explanation for it. I saw news clips on this and Alien eggs came up. They are not.

My first thought is that this was once a solid, non-spherical substance that turned into bubbles from the heating and cooling of the desert climate. Maybe it's some type of household cleaner that solidified when the water evaporated and then the remainder clustered in spheres?
