Sorry.

I feel like I just told everyone that Santa Claus isn't real. I wish I could take it back.

That is a good description.

Anyone doubt this at all? No one's ever seen this before. I'm not completely convinced...

Personally I do not give a crap. If it's a blob of crap...It's a blob of crap. If it's an alien invasion...Goodluck to you all.

My first thought was that it was algae and my assumption ended there. Instead the government and health officials got involved and spend lord knows how much money doing tests to find out it was...algae...jibblet heads

Kinda with you on this.

If algea does something it's never done before and is a different color than normal...you don't just shrug your shoulders and just go "It's Algea."

By that logic, if neon green dogs start stealing cars the reasoning behind it is "It's just dogs"

Neon green dogs in general would be creepy, let alone stealing cars. That's quite an abstract thought.

I can buy that maybe it was rotting, so that's where the stink and color comes from (then again, not the color because no one has seen black algae before [I believe] and we've seen a ****load of algae in our lives -- at least people who study it). But why is it hairy? Granted, I didn't see the stuff up close, but what is the hair? Couldn't they get some DNA off it and see what kind of animal it comes from?

Still a lot of unanswered questions to me.

It's the Loch Ness monsters poop.

Everyone knows that ol'Nelly vacates to the arctic during the warmer months.

Duh..

It's algae.
It's happening in bodies of water all over the globe. String algae....heck at the end of the summer some of the lakes here upstate look like they have neon green-blue paint thrown into them....and it stinks if you disturb it.
It's been happening for years...but I must admit....the last 3 or 4 it seems more prominent.

It is ice, ice, baby. Or is it perhaps related to the Durham Sewer Monsters?

Well, rising worldwide CO2 levels certainly could cause more algae (And other plants) to form across the globe as plants thrive on increased CO2, so it would make sense for there to be more algae nowadays.
