Some residents stated that the \u201cdust sediment\u201d was sticky and left milky hues on their cars as they attempted to clean it. Authorities have since carried out an investigation into the substance, but there have been no confirmed answers. TikTok users have now shared their thoughts on what the white particles could be. TikTok reacts to white dust falling from sky Many users thought the white powder might be due to a nearby dust storm that has traveled into other areas. \u201cDust from the desert southwest, a very strong storm system causing all the wintry weather across the northern US,\u201d one user said. \u201cProbably dust storm although I don\u2019t think it\u2019s white,\u201d another added. Some users made claims that small planes were flying over Maryland and dropping the powder. \u201cMy friend in Maryland saw a small plane dropping white dust this morning. Something weird\u2019s going on,\u201d one user claimed. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of small jets leaving chemical trails lately,\u201d another commented. Others joked that the white powder falling from the sky could be a marketing stunt for the movie Cocaine Bear, with many calling it \u201cthe greatest advertisement ever.\u201d A few users theorized that the substance could be a residue from the recent Ohio train derailment. The train was carrying toxic chemicals and when 38 of the carriages derailed, a fire started in 12 or more of the cars. However, a spokesperson from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, stated that there is no relation between the train incident and the mysterious white dust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
