    The Bermuda Blobs were two globsters that washed ashore on Bermuda in 1988 and 1997. Originally thought to be remains of a cryptid, analysis proved both blobs were actually decomposed whale blubber and tissue. The first blob was found by a fisherman in 1988 and later analysis identified it as whale remains. A second blob was discovered in 1997 and also determined to be decomposed whale adipose tissue and blubber through analysis of samples.

    Bermuda Blob 

    is the name given to two globsters that washed ashore on Bermuda in 1988 and


    1997. Originally thought to be the remains of a cryptid, analysis proved the blobs to be the remains
    of whales.

    1988[edit]
    The first Bermuda Blob was found by Teddy Tucker, a fisherman and treasure hunter, in Mangrove
    Bay in May 1988. Tucker described the blob as "2½ to 3 feet thick ... very white and fibrous ... with
    five 'arms or legs,' rather like a disfigured star."[1] Samples of the specimen were analysed in 1995
    and it was suggested that these were from a poikilothermic sea creature, either a large teleost (bony
    fish) or an elasmobranch (shark or ray).[2] Subsequent reanalysis of this specimen by the same team,
    however, using advanced genetic techniques not previously available, confirmed that it was actually
    the remains of a whale.[3]

    1997[edit]

    Bermuda Blob 2

    Bermuda Blob 2 was found in January 1997. Analysis of samples in 2004 suggests that Bermuda
    Blob 2 was a large mass of adipose tissue from a whale.[3]
