It's the Blob of 2009 ... an unidentifiable ball of slime, captured on camera during a sewer inspection. And since it's 2009, the video became an instant viral hit on YouTube, with over 8 million views. But what are these supposed alien life forms doing crawling around in a sewer system below a shopping mall in North Carolina?

In a rare investigative report, we ventured south to find out ... and after being harassed by security, almost convinced by an alien expert, introduced to the miniature sewer cam ... we finally find the guy who knows the secrets to all things blobby... with amazing results.
