Where did the green 'alien eggs' come from? Scientists baffled by UFOs (Unidentified Floating Objects) that washed up on a Sydney beach

Beach-goers describe green 'alien hairballs' washed up on a Sydney's Dee Why BeachThe strange round objects are thought to be a rare type of living algae, brought ashore by warmer weather and rough conditionsScientists think the algae might form into balls to protect itself from hungry fishVisitors from outer space or a natural phenomena? Surfers and early morning walkers were stunned to find thousands of 'alien eggs' on a Sydney beach this weekend.Locals in Dee Why, on the city's North Shore, reported seeing a large number of the strange objects which had washed ashore overnight.But rather than the green spheres being something from another planet, scientists explained they were a type of sponge-like seaweed that forms egg shapes possibly to protect themselves from predators.Locals said they'd never seen anything like the green algae balls that washed ashore at Dee Why this weekBeach-goers said they'd never seen anything like it, describing the balls as 'alien eggs, 'alien hairballs', Japanese moss balls and UFOs (Unidentified Floating Objects).'About three days ago, there were a few egg-shaped balls but then today, they were much bigger and everywhere on the beach,' Naraweena resident Jenny Zhang told The Manly Daily.Scarlett de Villiers from nearby Davidson saw the weird balls on her regular morning beach walk.'It was a windy day with a very high tide. I picked one up and squeezed it and it was so squishy - but I wasn't sure if it was alive and was worried I might hurt anything inside!' she told the Daily Mail. 'It struck me how perfectly shaped they all were and how green and alive they looked.'Associate Professor Alistair Poore from the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of NSW said the balls were probably a rare type of living green algae, which has only been seen a handful of times around the world.'Alien' algae explainedThe balls are thought to be an extremely rare species of filamentous green algae.The living organisms are known in Japan as 'Marumo' and Cladophora ball or Lake ball in English, and are sometimes found in freshwater lakes in the Northern Hemisphere.‘Aegagropilious’ describes the habit of free living algae (algae not attached to rocks) forming into balls.Floating algae balls are thought to be brought ashore by warmer weather and the rough wave conditions.It's unknown why the algae forms into balls. One hypothesis is that a ball-shape helps protect the algae from hungry fish, another that it may help them roll back into the water and avoid drying out when they wash ashore.SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEO AND READ MORE @http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2763283/Where-did-green-alien-eggs-come-Scientists-baffled-UFOs-Unidentified-Floating-Objects-washed-Sydney-beach.html
