niggles Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/unidentified-floating-object-mysterious-blob-filmed-in-the-deep-and-no-one-can-work-out-what-it-could-be/story-fn5jhv6y-1226351763405A MYSTERIOUS ocean 'blob' has been recorded by a deep-sea remote-controlled underwater camera. The creature looks like nothing seen before, with speculators suggesting it is everything from a jellyfish to the remains of a whale placenta.While, at a quick glance, the description of a jellyfish makes sense, the creature has organs and appendages never spotted on a jellyfish before.Meanwhile it could be a whale placenta, but if that is the case then the hexagonal shapes on the skin are a mystery.If it is a jellyfish, it might be a Stygiomedusa Gigantea. This type of jellyfish - which can grow up to six metres in length - has only been spotted 114 times in 110 years, so details on it are scant.But again, the appendages get in the way.

Psylo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) It was thought to be Deepstaria enigmatica, but since yesterday, Google is completely polluted with search results that came about because of the news report, so its tough to find all the pages I reviewed yesterday. The credibility is now more difficult.Fuck viral video pollution Edited May 11, 2012 by Psylo Dread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
