Alien-like Organism transforms on the Ocean Floor - A clue to ET life?

Look at this amazing creature. Look at the symmetrical structure - looks like a craft. I'm pretty sure it was the first time caught on video and was killed at the end (thanks humans.)



I think of how advance extra terrestrial life can exist on other planets such as the atmosphere of Venus or in the water of Europa. Could similar more advanced organisms be in our atmosphere that we aren't aware of? Lifeforms already exist in inhospitable places all over earth.

Since the early 1990s, we humans have been doing something both odd and eminently sensible: We've been launching jellyfish into space. And we have been doing it for science. During NASA's first Spacelab Life Sciences (SLS-1) mission in 1991, NASA began conducting an experiment: "The Effects of Microgravity-Induced Weightlessness on Aurelia Ephyra Differentiation and Statolith Synthesis." To carry it out, the space shuttle Columbia launched into space a payload of 2,478 jellyfish polyps — creatures contained within flasks and bags that were filled with artificial seawater. Astronauts injected chemicals into those bags that would induce the polyps to swim freely (and, ultimately, reproduce). Over the course of the mission, the creatures proliferated: By mission's close, there were some 60,000 jellies orbiting Earth.

NASA Has Been Breeding Jellyfish in Space for 20 Years

As strange as such an idea may sound at first, even Carl Sagan had discussed balloon-like aliens that might be capable of existing in the atmospheres of distant gas giants the likes of Jupiter. Popular fiction writers like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ray Bradbury have dealt with such creatures as well, but since the majority of these sources for the lore surrounding jellyfish-like or amoebic creatures drifting around in the sky stems from either fiction or speculative science, many would argue that more fringe notions of the existence of such creatures were actually inspired by such works.

Airborne Anomalies: Rethinking Atmospheric Lifeforms

Scientists have suggested that there are nearly a million undiscovered species lurking in the briny deep, while others insist that the number is a good deal higher. While scientists have no problem accepting that the seas are chock full of as yet unidentified life-forms, they reject the idea that the ocean of air above our heads might be just as full of unique and currently unclassified species, that quite possibly travel through space and time before they reach our planet.(not ours literally).

Atmospheric Monsters from Space!?

That's a cuttlefish, and your claim of it being killed is ridiculous.

Definitely not a cuttlefish

Cuttlefish image

And MAYBE it wasn't killed, that is, if it can survive being ripped in half from the current shown from the submersible, that filmed it!

A cuttlefish with fiber optics.

Definitely not a cuttlefish. But pretty cool nonetheless.

a reply to: Fowlerstoad
It may be a cuttlefish-there are loads of different types and they can change into weird shapes.

Look at this one going from "normal" into a weird mimic state-trying to mimic the rusty net maybe:


Such a strange life form.

This video is a few months old and it actually was proven to b a cuttlefish using its bioluminescence. Very easy to find info online.

a reply to: mkultra11
Another possible contender could be a blanket octopus IMO-in this vid you can see one do some similar tricks,before it goes into full alien weirdo mode :


And if you look at the diagrams on wiki,they look kind of similar:

en.wikipedia.org...

Although bioluminescense isn't mentioned-maybe the one in the vid is an undiscovered species..
Also,the last seconds of the vid looks to me like ink is deposited in the water as the creature scoots off-Octupus and squid do the ink thing,but not cuttlefish.

I wanted to find out more info about WTF is the deal with the shape in the first part of the vid-its not mimicing anything I know of,so at a guess I rekon its maybe tensed into a shape which allows it to sink faster?
It transforms right as it arrives at the sea floor by the looks of it.

Im going to send the vid to my bro who works for a science company,see if he can ID it.


Edit:
a reply to: EequalsMC2
Oh well there goes my above theory then

As below, as Above.

This is pretty keen! So it’s a cuttlefish?

Cephalopods are pretty nifty!

Darth Vader?

Looks like a type of cuttlefish/octopus, but damn that thing got ripped by that thruster. In two pieces, literally

It has been identified.

It is a known sub-species of lampocteis cruentivente

A "Comb Jelly" family member.

a reply to: Lucidparadox

Ding! Ding!!

Yeah, I just looked that up, and compared other comb jellies. We have a winner!!!

My bad I thought it was a cuttlefish inking off. Guess it was a jelly getting blown apart. Oh well. Kind of unavoidable.

Turns out its a band logo and this is just a stunt.

Tom DeLonge you sly guy!

So bizarre how the first thingamabob floated around like that looking like a dead object.

What is the crazy thing it did at the end? Looks like it exploded.

And it has lights.. looks like it knew it was being watched and did a show for us.

Its not a cuttlefish.

Yourself not even reading the very little information given on the video is pretentious.

Near the end of the footage you can see the creature getting caught up in the output from the ROV thrusters.

You're ridiculous!

Yeah.. "bad thoughts" or just being completely wrong.

a reply to: Lucidparadox

Here's another shape shifting type called a Deepstaria, but the shape is not like the other one which had that symmetrical shape. Its apparently called a biometric mesh.

Definitely, and the shape too. Its possibly a defense mechanism. Maybe to appear as an inanimate object.
