Jan Vorster, a resident of Still Bay in the Western Cape province of South Africa, took a picture in the beach and shared it on Facebook, with the intention of raising awareness of issues environmental. However, the effect was utterly chaotic.

Jan Vorster's photos ended up causing confusion and fear when they were shared by another page, which labeled them "sea spiders". The images reveal something totally strange, which was running towards the sea or leaving it.
Comparisons with the film “War of the Worlds”, starring tom cruise, were inevitable. One person commented making allusions that the images referred to the aliens in the movie with Tom Cruise. Imagine arriving at the beach and bumping into aliens?
Another person expressed their fear, saying: “My God, I wouldn't even wait to see what they are. I would run as fast as possible.” Such a position is totally understandable, but not everything is what it seems.
After the dissemination of the images, some people decided to send the photos for the evaluation of an environmental scientist. To everyone's relief, the expert confirmed that the strange shapes that resembled creatures did not pose a danger to humans.
In fact, these "strange creatures" were not aliens, but dead plants from aloe vera. Aloe vera plants are known to thrive in dry and hot environments such as deserts and semi-arid regions.
In fact, it is unlikely to find herbs of this type on beaches, as they require well-draining soil and are not tolerant of the salinity of seawater.
However, despite not knowing how they ended up in the sand on that beach, the fact is that they cannot do anything against anyone. We can all sleep easy as there is no alien invasion going on. Well, at least not this time.
