Rare "Alien" Creature Caught on Film

Magnapinna squid, one of which is seen at a drilling site in the Gulf of Mexico, typically live about 4,000 feet below the surface of the ocean. The rare creatures, distinguished by their peculiar tentacles, are much smaller than giant squids, which can grow more than 50 feet long. Click through the photos to see sightings of other rare creatures.

The creature, caught on video by a remote-controlled device owned by Shell Oil, was spotted last November roughly a mile and a half below the surface.

Rare Squid found in 4000 feet below surface of Ocean, resembles an Alien.....USOs? anyone? This particular squid was found in the Gulf of Mexico and they have "elbows". It reminds me of those alien creatures from Independence day.

Very strange looking creatures.

Pretty sure there's allready a thread about this on here. Maybe more.

sorry to disappoint you but this squid is not an alien they are from here

Maybe they are extremely rare but not new.

I never said that it was an Alien....
I actually called it a Squid, and stated that it resembled an Alien.

Meh, Alien to us and our topside life.

This isn't a slight to the OP, but we really need a sticky of various clips that always get posted here with links to explanations. This is at least the 6th thread I've seen on this in the last two weeks.

Yes, like a FAQ, only it's frequently posted videos/links.

However, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't stop the videos being posted.
