Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska
126 replies, posted
[quote]The Anchorage Daily News reports that a 15 mile-long blob of unknown, 'gooey,' probably organic material is floating past communities on Alaska's North Slope. The US Coast Guard sent pollution experts to investigate, who determined that it was not an oil spill or other type of pollution, but were unable to determine what it is. A sample is currently being analyzed by experts in Anchorage, while the blob is following the current northwards.[/quote]

Just pollution of some sort i'd say.
-snip- I thought the blob was in the air.
Shoggoth. Definetily a Shoggoth.
This is spooky.
Why, it's the essence of Yog'Sothoth, of course.

They had experts say that it wasn't pollution.
Good job reading.

I read it, and I say it's pollution....big deal.

Oh those silly blobs. Always floating around confusing our science.
Don't worry, it's just Gabe going for his walks again.

Gas isn't gooey.

Shh, that's what science doesn't want you to know.
It's Michael Moore on a boating trip.
it's god's semen
Maybe it's the source of this:

Maybe it decided to go around Alaska for a bit, and now it's dead from the cold. Or, it could just be TONS and TONS of dead sea creatures that have finally floated to the surface after being stuck to something in the murky depths for so many years.

I believe that is New York Harbor.
I'm hoping it's something sinister.
Algae?
Or grey goo nanobots.
Or Cthulu waking up, even tho he's way more south.
Maybe it's a gooey parasite that will cause zombi-facation. Like Phantom sorta suggested, minus the detail part.
Sounds a lot like Life of Pi.

Sorted now.

Is it orange and Tang-like in consistency?
Because if so... our only hope is to reverse-engineer it into giant robots and make fucked-up teenagers pilot them.

I hope it's not pink.
Some kind of algae?
Could be the remains of a whale. They turn into goey blobs all the time.
It's the spirit of the forest searching for it's head.
Anyone get the reference?
