Thousands of Snowballs Appear on Siberian Beach

Do aliens get bored and have giant snowball fights? (MR would know.)

It's alien fecal pellets.

I posted the same information on Facebook yesterday. It is apparently a natural phenomenon but it would surely raise eyebrows given that it is an extremely rare occurrence. I cannot even imagine 11 miles of coastline covered with these things. Should be cause for a wild celebration or polar bear club swim although looking at the size of them, you would probably not want to be in the water if there were snowballs riding the waves at the same time.

Little is known about the reproductive cycle of Snowmen. Like the mighty salmon that swims upriver to the place of its origin, so does the oft forgotten Snowman seek out its birthplace to spawn and then die. What we see on this Siberian beach are the remnants of the thousands upon thousands of Snowmen who made that journey. 

This is nearly all science* knows of Snowmen, efforts to tag and track their movements have always ended in failure. So how they get to this ancestral home is still unknown. Scientists agree that the purpose of the migration is to propagate the species but to this day the actual method is mere speculation. They do know that once the reproductive sessions are complete, the head, thorax and abdomen separate and the snowman literally falls apart, leaving behind the snowball evidence witnessed on this Siberian beach. To this date, no actual egg, fetus or larva from a Snowman has ever been discovered. However, juvenile and infant Snowmen have been seen several times on the lawns of humans. Scientists currently believe that sticky snow  is essential to a Snowman's reproductive cycle. What that stickiness involves is what scientists are focusing on at the moment. There is growing suspicion in scientific sectors that Snowmen and snowflakes are linked. It has been hypothesized that each snowflake carries with it one of an astronomical number of components required to eventually become a Snowman.

They do know that Snowmen generally appear during the winter months, usually found in close proximity to human habitat, although freakish cold weather areas and frigid mountainous regions have been known to harbor them. They seem to prefer temperatures below 0° C but there are reports of Snowman sightings outside city skating rinks during hot summer months where snow from ice scrapers is left to melt.
