The strange "seafood" terrifies scientists and poses a mortal threat to the living world ...
The mysteries of nature sometimes seem even more strange than evidence of the existence of aliens or the appearance of spirits from the other world. On the east coast of the United States and in Australia for more than a decade, locals have encountered strange green balls on the beach, to explain the appearance of which from a scientific point of view so no one could.
History of an unusual find on the coast
In 2002, in the city of Hampton, which is in the US state of Virginia, people discovered in the early morning on the beach strange "gifts" brought by the Atlantic Ocean overnight. They did not appreciate the gift of the elements and immediately reported it to the police. The staff of the department summoned biologists and environmentalists who took photos and posted them on the network.
The objects found were in the form of a ball of dark green color, the size of a ball for tennis or for golf. The coastline on which they were found was at least 300 meters in length. Balls were taken away for laboratory tests, and their results, of course, were classified.
Perhaps humanity would forget about this story, writing it off on the fads of nature, but already in 2014 the same balls mysteriously fall on one of the Sydney beaches in Australia. Marine biologists need to document the find and ask the ufologists for help in their study.
Strange properties of green balls
The reason that the balls caused concern among residents of two cities in the US and Australia is the same. From a distance, they resemble a sponge that, when it hits the water, increases to the size of a soccer ball. It was this similarity that made people approach them, which was a very reckless decision, as one of the eyewitnesses says:
"My neighbor, Maria Segnery, discovered a bowl in the water opposite her beach house on the Palm Island and took him for a big beach ball. When her son swam up to him and tried to take him in hand, it turned out that he was too heavy to be delivered to shore by a single person. "
On the sand or earth, the balloon dries and shrinks to its original size. It has a perfectly round shape and smells like the ocean, but does not have a characteristic smell of seaweed. In a dried state, the hardness ball resembles glass or metal - and accurately weighs much more than it seems at first glance.
Why can not the riddle of green balls be explained by scientists?
A biologist at the University of Sydney named Ellen Getel has been studying marine life for many years, so the police entrusted her with the honor of first glancing at the ball. Like Ellen, and other scientists do not know where these "seafood" came from:
"I can not even determine what the origin of this thing is - an animal, a mineral, or something else. They seem to me to be artificially made. It could be synthetic threads, but the sea could not so break them and make all the objects of the same size. "
A woman scientist approached the discovery of the answer responsibly and decided to study the books of other biologists, but did not find anything in them about the balls of water. Ellen fears that they can harm animals:
"If this material falls, for example, into the stomach to the whales and will accumulate there, these marine mammals will simply perish from hunger. After all, whales can not digest such balls. They will feel that the stomach is full, and will stop eating. Seals do not have this, because this material does not smell of fish. But some fish can be stupid enough to swallow what's unknown. My first soul movement, when these balls appeared, was to go and immediately remove all this from the beaches. "
Ellen asked for advice in NASA - and she was answered. Since the agency staff were already familiar with the green balls found on the beach in the US, they invited the scientist to work together without putting the press on notice of the discovery. Journalists only managed to find out that after moving to the laboratory all the balls are split unconditionally in two. I wonder what scientists managed to find inside them?
