Researchers from the University of New South Wales say the balls are actually a foul mixture of raw sewage, cooking fat, soap scum, and drugs.
The balls were initially thought to be a type of tar formed when leaking oil from a ship or off-shore rig mixed with cold water and debris.
This suggests that a sewage leak is the most likely source of the strange black balls.
