Chilean blob

The Chilean blob or Chilean monster was a large globster found on Pinuno Beach in Los Muermos, Chile, in July 2003. It weighed and measured across. The Chilean blob made headlines around the world because biologists were initially unable to identify it and were speculating that it was the remains of some species of giant octopus previously unknown to science. The blob was the subject of a number of conspiracy theories.
In June 2004, although no cells remained in the blob, fragments of the DNA found in the blob were found to match that of a sperm whale. The blob was a large mass of adipose tissue, the partial remains of a dead sperm whale. Scientists concluded that the whale had died several months prior and that its carcass had been eaten until only its tough collagen fibres remained.
