Mysterious ‘alien egg pod’

Residents are being alerted by wildlife officials to the presence of “alien egg pods” in murky lake waters throughout the United States.

The gooey creatures, who have the startling ability to clone themselves, are not afraid to attract attention and are proliferating.

Images of “jelly-like balls” being drawn out of water systems, such as rivers and lakes, have been circulated by people all over the world.

The strange, sticky-looking sacs, which seem to contain thousands of eggs, are found underwater and are usually affixed to a rock, branch, or dock.
