io9 lector Richard Turner was on a walk in southeastern Stockholm when he and his friend made a startling discovery on the side of the route — a small plenty of what appear to be constituent thing , roughly the size of a lawn tennis ball and crawling with tentacle - corresponding projections .
“ It was n’t attached to the earth or anything , ” explain Turner in an e-mail to io9 , “ [ it was ] just lying there in the grass . I ’ve prove the scene to a bunch of hoi polloi and nobody has any idea what it is . ”
Turner described the good deal as unusually soft , almost like jello , a characteristic he deduced by poking at it with a playpen . Even though it did n’t appear to be alive , Turner order he “ did n’t require to touch it or bring it home , since I just saw Prometheus , and know considerably than to get my face close to it . ”
Turner says he ’s done some really awkward web seeker in search of answers , including “ Chtulu infant ” and “ mutated worm , ” but to no avail . We ’ve done a small dig , too , and thus far have come up empty handed . So we ’re asking you , dear readers , to help us find the answer . Is this thing an animal , expire ( my first thinking , upon see this thing , was that it wasa babe Marlboro from Final Fantasy ) ? Is it a plant — some weird base , perhaps ?
Or is it not an being at all ? Is this just a caseful of a misidentified , deflate safety dog toy ? The mind reels ! We ’re undefended to your conjecture , so allow ’s take heed them ! Below is a Google Maps flag indicate where the mystery blob was first spotted , along with a screen shot from a television , shot by Turner , that point it beside a penitentiary for scale .
