What the…? Large, mysterious blob-like creature washes ashore in Oregon

The thing was the size of a pickup truck. It reeked of decomposing mammal, and it was covered in what appeared to be long, white hair.

“We’ve seen whales wash up before, and some that had been stuck on the shore for a few weeks, and never have they grown hair like that,” she said.

Lynn touched it and said it was “firm but squishy” and felt blubbery. She could tell it was the body of something; she just didn’t know what.

Tegner was confused by the long tendrils that appeared to be attached to it. He could see them move every time waves hit it.

Don’t touch it ungloved! If you do, use anti-bacterical soap right away; the orange kind of soap.

What is it?

This thread will not be interesting if nobody makes a serious and reasoned guess.

That’s one of the problems in living close to the ocean. I don’t remember anything like that being washed up in Nebraska.

Creatures can look a lot different after death, as other creatures feed on them, and their bodies break down. What was once a whale, can look more like a large jelly fish. LOL. Just about every “strange unknown dead ocean creature” story I see usually turns out to be a known creature that’s shape was changed due to decomposition and the carcass being fed upon by other ocean creatures.

Is Cthulhu getting into one of the Oregon US House races as an independent?

The headline says “mysterious”, but the article confirms that it is anything but mysterious. I hate these tabloid headlines made for stupid and ignorant people by stupid and ignorant people.
