Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska

Z80xxc! writes "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.

A sample is currently being analyzed by experts in Anchorage, while the blob is following the current northwards."
