"A huge mat of oily goo caught everyone by surprise when it showed up off the shore of Wainwright, Alaska nearly two weeks ago. "
""Initial reports indicated that it was a substance that resembled heavy oil, crude oil or intermediate fuel oil," Hasenauer told Discovery News."
"Dispelling rumors that the substance was 30 miles long, the Coast Guard estimated its size as 13 miles by a quarter of a mile. It was floating about half a mile offshore. The blob was amorphous, Hasenauer added, broken up into globules and sections, and constantly changing shape."
So it turns out to be a giant colony of algae... but while reading it, it sounds like something straight out of Godzilla vs Heorah.
