Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Environmental authorities in Canada are trying to solve the mystery of unidentified white blobs that have been washing up on Newfoundland beaches.

The white masses, which range in size from a coin to a dinner plate, started showing up on area beaches in September, and locals shared photos of the unidentified objects in the Beachcombers of Newfoundland and Labrador Facebook group.

Some suggested the blobs could be ambergris or another fluid originating from a whale, but opinions are split.

Environment and Climate Change Canada officials said to CBS News the "mystery substance" is under investigation.

"An answer would be nice. It's not often you find something that stumps people who know this place and these waters," resident Dave McGrath told The Guardian.

Congealed gear box grease from leaky wind turbines. If we never hear about it again, that’s what it is.

Why, in 2024, are people still taking crappy, low-res, blurry photos like this?

Whale Poop?

[Harpotoo]

Correct! Grandpa over here knows a diaper when he sees one;-)

I read a story that said every time a Biden tells a lie a whale pukes so problem solved.

Ummm... they’re called ‘Newfies’ and they don’t appreciate being called blobs, or being called mysterious.

[Organic Panic]

I know this may sound gross. But looks like a tampon flushed through a marine head.

That’s white blob supremacy! Where are the black, asian and hispanic blobs?

i’d strongly advise not touching anything like that ... they could be remnants of Triffids who were unlucky enough to have toppled into the sea ...

Why don t they fry it up and give it a taste. If it’s good and doesn’t kill them, corner the market.
