Steve is held up by his friends Mooch, Tony and Al (James Bonnet, Robert Fields, & Antony Franke) who dare him into a quick backwards drag-race, that is just as quickly broken up by Officer Dave (Earl Rowe).
He promises to look after the man, if Steve will go back to where they found him and look for any other clues. Hallen (Stephen Chase), who was just about to leave town for a convention. Steve pulls off the road, as the old man stumbles into his headlights, visibly shaken. The goop slides up the stick to wrap around his hand, as he cries out in pain. He pokes the meteorite with a stick, getting some sort of gelatinous ooze on the branch. An old man (Olin Howland) sees it fall near his cabin as well. They hop into the car and drive off to look for it.
While on a date up on lover’s lane, Steve (Steve McQueen) and Jane (Aneta Corsaut) observe a shooting star that lands near them. The Blob is certainly a horror film, but with nods to sci-fi elements.
