Walking through streets of Manchester on Xmas Eve witnessing the mist felt very odd. Manchester felt like a scene from War of the Worlds! First hand experience of this mist included stinging eyes, tiredness and strange particles causing an itchy nose.
Many other people reported feeling ill after experiencing the mist. Many others complained of asthma and other breathing issues.
Within the fog was a strange, fine mist, that didn't react like rain or drizzle. Someone's security house camera showed footage of weird white particles within the mist.
Others on social media had watched these particles land in their pet dog's water dish over night and then display magnetic properties, being attracted to each other in a strange way.
Its clear this widespread fog was not a normal phenomena, so what was it ?
