Newfoundland’s coastline has been inundated with hundreds of mysterious white blobs, leaving both locals and experts perplexed. Described as “slimy on the outside, spongy and firm on the inside,” these odd substances have appeared over 28 miles of the coast since September, sparking concern among residents and government officials alike.
Dave McGrath, a resident of Newfoundland, was among the first to notice the strange objects. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” McGrath said. He compared the blobs to pancakes, describing them as dimpled with bubbles and surprisingly firm when poked with a stick. “It’s disturbing that no one knows what these things are,” he added.
Authorities, including the Coast Guard, have been investigating the blobs but are still stumped. Canadian officials have conducted several surveys of the beaches, but neither the substance nor its source has been identified. Samantha Bayard, a spokesperson for Environment and Climate Change Canada, confirmed that they are still investigating and have yet to find any conclusive answers.
Stan Tobin, another local resident, shared similar concerns. He described the blobs as “doughy” and said they smelled slightly of vegetable oil. “It’s like someone baked bread wrong,” Tobin joked. He and others have found blobs of varying sizes, but most measure around six inches in diameter.
While Canadian officials have confirmed that the substance is plant-based, this has done little to calm residents’ fears. Many worry about whether the blobs are harmful and why they have suddenly appeared on the beaches.
As the investigation continues, Newfoundland’s residents are left with more questions than answers. The mystery of these strange white blobs has turned into a major topic of conversation along the coast.
