Where did the green 'alien eggs' come from? Scientists baffled by UFOs (unidentified floating objects) that washed up on a Sydney beach

Visitors 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.

Beach-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.'

If these “eggs” grow into large pods, I’m going to purchase “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” both the original and the re-make, online.

Stupid ass scientists.

They are obviously a container load of tennis balls from a container ship.

Look closely, it probably says made in China on each one.

I didn’t even know algae HAD balls...

It was not the scientists who were baffled. It was the local populace.

Strange...

Anyone - it was just a Doctor Who image with all the black cubes. You’d have to be a geek to get the reference anyway.

Looks like those horse apples we use to pelt each other with on the playground growing up

One woman said she picked one up and squeezed it. What if there had been a piece of glass or broken shell inside? It would have sacred her to death...................

Well, at least she would have gone to Heaven...

We were taught that the ‘fruit’ was poisonous, but according to Wiki, it isn’t...............
