MYSTERIOUS WHITE BLOBS HAVE BEEN WASHING ASHORE ALONG CANADA’S BEACHES-
WITH THE COAST GUARD REPORTEDLY BEING CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION.
WE KNOW WHAT THEY’RE NOT.
AS EXPERTS HAVE RULED OUT BIOLOGICAL AND MANY MAN-MADE MATERIALS.
THESE GELATINOUS MASSES HAVE APPEARED IN MULTIPLE COASTAL AREAS-
ALLEGEDLY COVERING ABOUT 28 MILES OF THE CANADIAN COASTLINE.
THEY RANGE IN SIZE FROM A DINNER PLATE TO A SMALL COIN.
SOME LOCALS HAVE COMPARED THEIR APPEARANCE TO PANCAKES-
SAYING THEY ALSO HAVE A SPONGY AND FIRM INTERIOR.
EXPERTS ARE WORKING TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THESE BLOBS-
BUT A COMPLETE ROUND OF TESTS COULD TAKE MONTHS TO FINISH.
SO FAR, PRODUCTS LIKE PETROLEUM LUBRICANT, STYROFOAM, AND BIOFUEL HAVE BEEN DISMISSED-
WHILE NATURAL EXPLANATIONS LIKE WHALE VOMIT OR SEA SPONGES WERE SIMILARLY EXCLUDED.
IN THE MEANTIME, AUTHORITIES ARE ADVISING THE PUBLIC TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE BLOBS UNTIL FURTHER TESTING IS COMPLETE.
