In 1958 a classic SciFi movie hit the movie theaters starring a young Steve McQueen. The story was simple and yet compelling. A strange meteor shower brought with it a small amorphous amoeba-like creature. The creature was a first small but grew as it devoured everything in its path. Eventually the giant "Blob" was as big as a house and threatened the small town of Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Enter our hero, Steve MeQueen who freezes the creature. The movie ends with the "Blob" being dropped by a plane in a remote Arctic area. The creature has recently re-appeared off the Alaskan coast. The re-emergence of this creature is probably due to the effects of global warming as many on the left are already claiming. Below is a picture of the creature, the BLOB and eye-witness accounts.
It's big, it's black, it's gooey and it may be alive.
Giant blobs of thick, oily biological material are floating in the Arctic Ocean's Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Strait, reports the Anchorage Daily News.
"It's certainly biological," Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Terry Hasenauer told the newspaper. "It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter."
No one in the North Slope towns of Barrow and Wainwright can recall ever seeing anything like it.
Jellyfish and sea birds are getting caught up in the sticky, stinky stuff, which according to one official "has hairy strands on it."
"It's definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, it's some sort of naturally occurring organic or otherwise marine organism," added Hasenauer. FOX News
