Huge blob of Arctic goo floats past Slope communities

Nobody knows for sure what the gunk is, but Petty Officer 1st Class Terry Hasenauer says the Coast Guard is sure what it is not.

“It’s certainly biological,” Hasenauer said. “It’s definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter.

“It’s definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, it’s some sort of naturally occurring organic or otherwise marine organism.”

Something else: No one in Barrow or Wainwright can remember seeing anything like this before, Brower said.

The Blob

Too weird. Welp, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Reckon that’s all too true.
