Hey all..
I was just reading these stories today on sott
US: Mysterious foam creeps ashore at Madrona Beach
Turkey: Mysterious green layer on lake not toxic, says minister
Though the two might not be related at all - or at least seemingly, i don't trust ministers - i remembered that there were cases in the past of "foamy" waters. Mysterious foam in water was reported from Italy and Australia. It was also the case, early July, about the greenish foamy Israeli lake.
Curious enough, during my search for foam on sott, a comet series article came up Meteorites, Asteroids, and Comets: Damages, Disasters, Injuries, Deaths, and Very Close Calls
It might as well be environmental pollution or fauna doing it's job, causing these "mysteries", but from the above linking foamy waters to impacts, and the article about the Israeli lake, where
i begun wondering - and might be wandering in wrong tracks here - whether space junk fell into the Israeli lake and life on it caused the appearance of the weed and changes in the lake, and whether "foam in water" or other changes in lakes, oceans, etc, can be indications of impacts in water sources.
Your throughts?

In addition to these shipboard fatalities, there have been several striking accounts of near disasters involving impacts very close to ships. Near midnight of 24 February 1885, at a latitude of 37 degrees N and a longitude of 170 degrees 15 minutes E in the North Pacific, the crew of the barque Innerwich, en route from Japan to Vancouver, saw the sky turn fiery red: "A large mass of fire appeared over the vessel, completely blinding the spectators; and, as it fell into the sea some 50 yards to leeward, it caused a hissing sound, which was heard above the blast, and made the vessel quiver from stem to stem. Hardly had this disappeared, when a lowering mass of white foam was seen rapidly approaching the vessel. The noise from the advancing volume of water is described as deafening. The barque was struck flat aback; but, before there was time to touch a brace, the sails had filled again, and the roaring white sea had passed ahead."
It might as well be environmental pollution or fauna doing it's job, causing these "mysteries", but from the above linking foamy waters to impacts, and the article about the Israeli lake, where
.... an unidentified weedthatappeared in the lake
....the foam was coming from new weeds that had taken hold in the water. However, it was the first time the weeds, which created the foam and gave the water an olive green color, had been noticed in the Kinneret and the experts could not identify their exact scientific nature.
....the reason for the weeds' appearance is not clear. "The conditions were apparently suitable but what exactly these conditions are, we don't yet know because we are not familiar with this species and its biology."
But only a few days after they appeared, and even before the researchers had succeeded in classifying them or giving them a scientific name, the strange weeds disappeared from the shores of the lake, leaving behind only the mysterious and worrisome, greenish, foamy patches.
