Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.
Some people think that when aliens come it’ll be in a space ship with fingers hovering over buttons that read ‘Zap-O-Tron 5000.’ We think it’ll be far more simple. We think they’ll get here when Rosie O’Donnell finally pops.
Something must have laid eggs in there, right?
Well in North Carolina they’ve recently caught something on camera – something simple yet disgusting. Word has it that it’s of alien origin.
Recent discoveries in North Carolina have got Hecklerspray seriously questioning the work ethic of alien species. After all, if recent reports are true it seems they’ve arrived on our planet without even enslaving anything. That’s just lazy.
If you haven’t heard, they’ve arrived alright – and they’ve recently been video recorded in a North Carolina sewer. If you’re thinking they’re down there cooking up plans for global domination, you’re wrong. They don’t even have any laser guns. They don’t have Speak-N’-Spells, they don’t have Vulcan sidekicks, and darn it all, they don’t even have any green dancing girls ready to feed to a Rancor when they fall out of step.
All these aliens do all day is cling to the wall. It’s disappointing, really. Not totally disappointing, mind you. When the creatures sense the light on them (apparently) they tense up – and that is almost vomit inducing. Hollywood has conditioned us to expect something sharp-toothed and slimy to jump out at the camera. It doesn’t, but it’s still pretty nerve-wracking.
Are you tired of reading about it? Well, click play already. And pay close attention to the weird little stick that pops out the top left-ish of the third blob. What is that thing?
Some say there’s an explanation for it, and by some we mean the Daily Mail:
“…biologists had confirmed that the ‘creature’ was actually a colony of worms. The colonies attach themselves to roots that gradually work themselves into weak points in the pipes. ‘They seem to respond to the light from the camera,’ he said. ‘That light is pretty hot.’ He said the phenomena had been seen before, but it was very rare. While Mr Buchan could not say what species of worms they are, other experts claim they are clumps of annelid worms, which normally live in soil and sediment at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. The video shows that the worms have entered a pipeline somewhere and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other.”
It sounds like it may not be alien, then, but we should probably take it to our leaders just in case.
If you listen close, you can probably hear Obama yelling ‘not it’ in the distance.

The way the goo congregates in clumps looks almost like slimy ballsacks; especially when they convulse. Utilizing a modicum of imagination 1:44 looks like the worms are uniting to attempt a face. Perhaps it’s just me wanting to see the entire mass lurch up together like some sort of wormy Marshmellow Man (Ghostbusters) and slither to Washington just so I could hear that statement from Obama. It would happen.
