Hello, fist thing is first, im a new member just so u no, enyway, a few years ago on a beach near Bosnia *were i was born* called budva there was a large dark redish blob of goo ( i have no idea what !! ) that had no eyes, legs or other visible featrues, the way it moved way as if it was collapsing over itself and leaving a pinkish slime in its path, i watched it and suddenly a large crowd gathered because it was so strange. A life guard told us all not to touch it......i still dont know what it is , if u can help me identify it please contact me. thank you !

We can do without the cursing, Mostar.

Jellyfish?

Sounds like a 'globster'.....
Sightings of largefleshy globs, washed up on sea shores, have been reported around the world. Scientific analysis usually determines they are large jellyfish, octopi, or hunks of whale flesh that have been rolled up into a ball, and washed onto the beach.

I saw one of these on a beach in scotland once, I think they are jelly fish.

I was going to say jellyfish too.

humm...lifegaurd..check....do not touch....check...beach...check.... JELLYFISH.

maybe someone was going through their menstrual cycle and the water was making it move
just kidding of course,i say jellyfish

Yep, jellyfish can appear reddish-orange sometimes. That wouldn't explain how it moved however, jellyfish don't have sufficient strength to move on land.

Sounds like giant desserts to me...I love jelly....!!!!

Jellyfish

can jellyfish move on land? maybe something mostly eaten but not dead yet?

I don't think it was a jellyfish by the way you said it moves to me it sounds like a sea cucumber.

edit: jellyfish don't leave a slim trail and they don't colapse over them selves they force water out in a weat jet by expanding and retracting. jsut my 2 cents

can i join in and say jellyfish

Without any photo's it is always difficult to get accurate responses, I would have to go with the majority here going on in my own personal experiences with any blobs I have seen on the beaches... and say Jellyfish.

That still wouldn't explain its movement. Were there any pictures taken? Anything on the local newspapers?

it looked like a chunk of that stuff kids play with you know? like a big red lump of jelliton. The movent was as i said befor it colappsed over its self and left a pinky slime, i dont see how it was a jellifish. And no photo's were taken or enything in the paper...well it wasent THAT interesting, just strange. I dont see how it would of been a globster because it was moving on rocks *the beachs has rocks rather than sand* and it was going in a straight direction .......actully a better definition of it is that it was like the creater in an old movie called "the blob"

Have you heard aboutthis?

Not being mean but it was obviously "that interesting" to you or you would not have remembered it all these years later.

I have to disagree with everyone about it being a Jellyfish... as we currently know Jellyfish.

I grew up on the beaches of Florida and have seen many strange things in the waters there. All explained and accounted for by the scientific community, but strange none-the-less.

The ocean is too vast and too much is unknown about what lurks in the dark recesses that are yet to be explored.

Think about this...

We know far more about space than we know about the ocean

Did it look anything like these?

I'm thinking algae bloom aka "red tide"

Or this?
[attachmentid=23253]

one of those red slug-like things in the shallow coral reefs? except bigger? they leave red/pink ish ink on their trails. poking them makes em do dat

yep sounds like you got a jellyfish on your hands you better get some raid or somthing

I've never heard of a jellyfish moving on land before, let alone collapsing over itself to move.

there is some kind of red sea snail that can become up to 1 meter in diameter, and it is round,
when it moves , it makes some kind of "dancing "movement
on land it might look as if it were collapsing over itself. It was probably this snail. ill post a pic as soon as i find it. ( they also callked it thre spanish lady, because it looks like a flamenco dancer in a red dress, when it moves

Was it anything like this?








(photoshop, taken from HERE)

Shame on those who would even consider this thing a jellyfish! They cannot move on land...no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Second... globster theory would be kind of a good guess except for the fact the only globster in those links that could relate would be the whale blubber which is dead fat and would not be able to move itself on land like a living creature. Only 2 here that made any sense was mystery and murderman...with exception to dragonlady because the description makes sense, but like I said....jellyfish cannot move on land.

Survey says.... R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H

This thing was probably that snail Murderman mentioned or maybe even a new species

Wow, i cant belive this subject was brought up from the deeep archive of UM fourum.

What do you reckon it tastes like?

Only one way to find out.
Maybe cook it like escargot?
