Globsters

The conspiracy theory on decomposed animal skin

Over the years populations around the world have found a mysterious massive flesh on the shore. It sounds weird, because it is weird. Scientist all over the world have been trying to explain the origin of the faceless marine flesh. It has no eyes, no bones or identified organs. Unusual flesh in diverse locations with altered colors, shapes and textures. They can measure over sixteen meters and some might have tentacles, tusks or bristles, and by the depiction of it, I know you are already picturing it and yes, they do smell badly.

The first globster ever seen was around 1648 in the Mexican beach Santa Maria Del Mar. No further information is given since it has lost track over time, but testimonies match with recent description of globsters. The global mystery began with the St. Agustin globster in Florida. It was

1896 and two young boys were riding their bicycles and found themselves what the citizens liked to call a “sea monster”. “The carcass was pinkish in color and had a silver sheen in the sunlight. Although it looked gelatinous, it was very difficult to cut through. It had four stumps, which appeared to be severed arms.” (Geller, 2017). It is estimated to weight five tons, and not even scientists could tell what they were looking at. It was 1960 when the next globster appeared, this time in the shores of the Hobart Island, Tasmania. Two stockmen found a “giant blob covered in short fur, really terrible odor coming from it, no eyes” as writer and cryptozoologist Thimothy Bull describes it. This time it contained a spine and six “arms” that were found away from its main body.

The name globster was assigned to this discovery and the already mentioned, since the cases presented similarities. Scientist couldn’t relate the globster to any existing animal, therefor, people thought of it as a new species or a sea monster leaving in the 95% of the undiscovered ocean.

At first local scientists in St. Agustin assumed it to be a giant squid or a previously undiscovered octopus, which the first two tests made in 1971 and 1986 supported, but after running a third test in 1995 they acknowledge it as a massive blubber coming from a sperm whale.

Zoologist Addison Emerly Verill backs the idea by asserting it to be a whale’s remaining. These conclusions are driven from the understanding of the tissue being too tough to be blubber and the amino acids and filaments tests are re- sembled as whale collagen rather than whale blubber. So, it is contemplated as a tough whale’s outer skin.

Marine biologist Ben Roesch says "they often turn out to be basking sharks, whales, oarfish, or some other known creature.” After examining globsters specimen with electron microscopes and molecular and DNA analysis, scientist have reassured the so called globsters are only whale carcasses and decomposed animal skin. Although, citizens still refer to them as monsters, some of them even talk about a conspiracy around scientists to hide the mystical creatures that lie in the depths of the sea. Is it really just a closet reset of a whale? Or is there a super natural creature scientist doesn’t want us to see?
