Teddy Tucker with the Bermuda Blob.

The Bermuda Blob was an unidentified mass (globster) that was found by Teddy Tucker, a fisherman and treasure hunter, in Mangrove Bay, Bermuda, in May 1988. Tucker described the blob as "2½ to 3 feet thick . . . very white and fibrous . . . with five 'arms or legs,' rather like a disfigured star." Samples of the specimen were analysed in 1995 and found to be the remains of a large shark.
