The strangeness began when a research boat known as the Blue Heron started experiencing mechanical difficulties during a trip to Lake Erie and was dry-docked for repairs.
While investigating the issue, Captain Rual Lee discovered a strange thick, black tar-like substance that seemed to be oozing out of the rudder.
Unable to determine what it was, he sent a sample to the University of Minnesota Duluth.
When researchers analyzed the substance, they discovered that it contained 20 DNA sequences and while many could be identified, several were completely novel and unknown to science.
They concluded that the substance - now known as 'ShipGoo1' - is a single-celled organism. Its precise nature and origins, however, remain a mystery.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
City of Light, City of Magic.
Wasn’t there an X-Files episode where black goo came out of a UFO that was underwater?
This reminds me of the stuff the Russians found growing in the back of their old space station.
Uh oh, describing this goooo as black is, Yes....... Rayyyycist!
A. So, what happened to that gob of goo?
B. Was more being produced?
C. Can it survive being frozen or exposed to high temps?
D. When/ where was this?
E. How did it smell?
It’s a tarbaby...duh.
You guys haven’t seen “The H-Men”. Man I’m getting old. They were found on a ship too. Sheeesh! 😛
‘...it contained 20 DNA sequences and while many could be identified, several were completely novel and unknown to science.’
oh no. several sequences novel and completely unknown. what will the those intrepid darwinists do now? so many recent mutations required unless this life form is very, very ancient. but then where’s the common ancestor? what to do? what to do? i know what they’ll do: Aliens!
Whatever it is, try not to track it into the house and get it on the carpet, okay?.
It can only be defeated with specific harmonics.
The Blob.
Whatever it is you can be sure Dim judges will welcome it and try to give it asylum so it can stay!.
Cool stuff. It’s not that novel, though. It’s a known class of bacteria.
“The ShipGoo1 shares similarities with other microbes found in tar pits and underground petroleum deposits, a detail that leads Sheik to believe they entered the Blue Heron in the petroleum-based grease that keeps the rudder from seizing up.”
It’s what democrats come back as.
Reincarnation karma, baby.
Beware the Blob.😳😳
Lt. Tasha Yar needs to stay as far away from this as possible
