Spore Shores
On August 3, 2011, on the shores of Northwestern Alaska, billions of tiny orange spores overran the town beaches. Scientists later identified the surprise spores as native terrestrial, and they were actually fungal spores from a type of plant rust. It kind of gives off a nice glow though...
Pig Roast
On July 25, 2012, the New York Daily News reported that a photographer by the name of Denise Ginley and her boyfriend were taking a stroll along the East River when they spotted this gnarly-looking pig thing on a stretch of beach underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. The Parks Department claimed that the creature was a discarded cooked pig. Dinner, anyone?
