These things remind me of the Blob. If I start hearing that these things are swimming up into the sewer lines and appearing in toliets or if these things are harmful to humans, then I'm goin down in the sewers to destroy these things.

Considering all I can find on it via Google is just websites linking to the video and not a single news site, I'd wager fake.

EDIT: Looking as if it's aviral marketing stunt for a movie.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

should have deep fried it and sreved it up as a pasta. kind of fake looking because of the fact they weren't hiddening or anything

 

[Pr0phetic]

That thing looks really nasty, eww. I'd say it's fake too, a really good one I'll give it that.

Whoa, what movie? Might it be Cloverfield 2? I love viral videos!

 

[GoldShadow]

Doesn't look real at all.

 

[Heartz♥]

I'm goin down in the sewers to destroy these things.

Let's ****ing do it. *loads flamethrower*

 

[Lythium]

Are the CHUDs rebelling again?

 

[Heartz♥]

Are the CHUDs rebelling again?

Oh gosh if those things were real....

 

[Mic_128]

Whoa, what movie? Might it be Cloverfield 2? I love viral videos!

Oh god, forgot about cloverfield 2! *Goes to wikipedia*

 

[Heartz♥]

I haven't seen the first. Heard it was intense.

 

[slave1]

i looked around real quick. apparently these are real

DeepSeaNews.com sent the video to Dr. Timothy S. Wood, an expert on freshwater bryozoa and an officer with the International Bryozoology Association and he had this to say about it:

“Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.”

The blobs are real, and sadly they are not of alien origin. They are however one of the most repulsive things I’ve ever seen outside of a Sci-fi movie. Good thing someone else discovered these, because my first reaction would be to kill them before they could destroy humanity as we know it. The fact these things are real and inhabiting the Raleigh, NC sewer system makes them even more disgusting. Time to filter that tap water people.

 

[Heartz♥]

They look like Like Like ripoffs. *holds tight to shield*

 

[Terra~]

I hear these taste pretty good and scream out when you pour tabasco on them

 

[OutlawStar]

I heard is was a cyst of worms (But on Youtube, so, you know...) I think it looks real though. Real sick and spasmey, almost made me sick. The sicko.

 

[victra♥]

oh, that's so cool how they're legit. I was under the impression it was fake at first as well. O:

 

[OutlawStar]

I have seen some weird things like this, having to do with caterpillars, when they group together. Oh god, it is so scary and weird. When they all get together and shake and stuff.

 

[Heartz♥]

We better do something about it now or there will be a REAL Blob.

We'd all be singing this song after we neutralize it.

[-ACE-]

[Spire]

 

[Mewter]

I knew the Broomers were up to something!
That thing's kind of freaky. Lol.

Even if it was an irl pokemon...i don't think i'd want it still x____x

 

[victra♥]

oshi secret revealed.

 

[[oni]LoKo]

COOOOOOOOOOOMMBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOO BREEEAAAAAKER!.............rite?
I'm soz :<

 

[Fire!]

*Waits for it to evolve.

 

[UberMario]

For those thinking this is one organism, it's not it's worms rolling into a ball. When it twitches one worm moves in causing the others to react. I know someone said this already but still . . .
I'm not so curious about what they are so intent on surrounding . . .

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ If I were to be eating while viewing that, I would be sick right now. That looks like someone's insides but yet inside of a sewer. ☆

 

[Overload]

Looks disgusting. Like a huge pimple with a mind of it's own or something. These things are awesome.

 

[hundreds of utilts]

dang it.

we've been discovered.

you all know too much...

 

[Lythium]

You'll just have to rise up and EAT US. Nom nom nom.

 

[smashbot226]

They look like Alien pods. Next thing you know there is gonna be an invasion of Ripley aliens.

 

[StinkomanFan]

It's obvious it's just a publicity stunt for a remake of the Blob

 

[POKE40]

Why did I watch this while eating?


Now I feel sick

 

[NOVA1106]

looks like the blobs from the goosebumps books

 

[Darkslash]

Its the start of the alien invasion. by 2011, those "worm" sacs will push through the other side of the pipes, and will give birth to bio engineered warrior aliens.

Or we can follow spire's theory and its the start of Pokemon.

 

[Firus]

Better go into the sewers with some guns and get us some Sewer Crystals, then make massive sums of cash off of selling them to a weird janitor just hanging around by the sewers.

/reference

 

[slave1]

yay pokemon are real

 

[pacmansays]

great....now I want to throw up

 

[POKE40]

After a reading some comments. I found out this thing is a colony of tubiflex worm.

This is what some officer with the International Bryozoology Association says:

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams.

still feeling disgusted though.
