SILVERHILL, Ala. ( WKRG ) — The big question in Baldwin County this week — what is the mystery substance appearing on people’s cars? While we don’t know exactly what it is, we’re getting a better idea of what ties all of the incidents together.

“I thought it was maybe some mud, but it’s gotten progressively darker,” Perri Farlow, a Silverhill resident said. “Now it’s just this dark, yellow, hardened substance all over my car.”
The most successful way to remove the substance is to take the vehicle to a detailing shop and let the professionals do the work, and getting it off can come with a hefty price tag.
“The initial cost to get this stuff off my truck, I was floored, several thousand dollars,” John Lankford, a Summerdale resident said. “It’s very frustrating that, you know, I have to spend my hard earned dollar and my family’s hard earned dollars to, you know, have my truck repaired.”
Although they said they’re looking into it to determine the best steps to work towards a solution, the mystery substance is even leaving county and state officials with questions.
