What kind of colony was the sewer monster that was confirmed in North Carolina?
other interesting events Saturday, July 04, 2009 Sewer Monster Confirmed as Bryozoan Colony A slimy, pulsating blob living beneath the streets of North Carolina is not an extraterrestrial “sewer monster” as first feared. It is, instead, a colony of prehistoric creatures called bryozoans — thousands of worms — that eat using a set of brown tentacles, the Charlotte Observer reports. The harmless worms, moving around 10cm a day, normally live near ponds although environmental inspector Ed Buchan said the phenomenon was rare to see. The blob was captured on film by a maintenance company doing a routine inspection on the sanitary sewer, which is located beneath one of America’s oldest shopping centres. A two-minute video showing the worms throbbing and contracting when shone with light made it to YouTube, sparking conspiracy theories about aliens and extraterrestrial life.
