McGrath told the newspaper that when he spoke to the Canadian Coast Guard, they were able to tell him that they'd found similarly strange globby masses littering 28 miles of coast but still 'had no idea what it was' or if they're toxic.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) scientists also had a testing phase, showing initial confusion about the origin or nature of the strange substance that didn't appear to be a biofuel or petroleum.
