“From the air it looks brownish with some sheen, but when you get close and put it up on the ice and in the bucket, it’s kind of blackish stuff … (and) has hairy strands on it.”

“This stuff is moving with the current,” he said. “It’s now on beyond Barrow and probably going north at this point.”
Science fiction movies of the 1950s tell us the mysterious blobs of glob will eventually beach themselves, form one giant hairy mass and start swallowing fishing villages.
