Is this a creature? Or a thing?

Deepstaria enigmatica
If you look at the latest Reddit post they have pics that match up almost exactly.

it looks like the placenta to a whale perhaps....

It is a jelllyfish that has been in the oil contaminated water, that is why it is brown stained. THANKS, BP.

I've seen some news posts claiming it was that as well. Or at least-news articles claiming the experts identified it as that.

I think you pegged it. Movement looks the same. What threw me off was the brown color of the creature; it looked a lot like crude.

Well, The colour, (and it does look brown) in the OP's vid, could make that particular video unique and that the accepted name is actually Deepstaria reticulum, (from the honeycomb structure), which is apparent also in the Cameron video. These guys are usually colourless, but Deepstaria reticulum is described as being brown or pale brown, so a brown honeycomb. Big thing is there seems to be no picture before of it, and was described only once in 1988. Other than the colour it would be the same creature as Deepstaria Enigmatica.

I should add that it could be contaminated with oil, who knows?

My girlfriends father works on the rig that that film was taken (hes asked me not say what is proper job is or which rig its on). He says theres scientists out there all the time filming stuff all the time claiming they have discovered new species. He says its probably not a whale placenta because they get eaten very quickly at that depth because of the lack of food there. He thinks it might be some kind of sea slug, but then hes not a marine biologist.

He was very surprised to see it was off one of his rigs. lol

Amazing. It looks like it revealed its sex organs at around 4:30 and wanted to mate with the camera.. lol!

They could make movies around creatures like these and it would look totally alien, from another world... People would be like omfg is that the best CGI you've ever seen or what!!

Any of you remember “creep show”? Could it be that blob in the lake that was killing all those kids one by one off the swimming dock? Scary stuff…!

Whatever it is I hope i never find that thing on my plate...

Synthia..

jummy synthetic - nano - corexit mutant...

also weird is the hexagonal texture of the thing...looks synthetic to me...

That was a fascinating video OP.
Thanks for sharing... could have watched for hours.

Cool as hell.


As I've said on all of these underwater, new species/weird creature threads..... aliens are already here, they're swimming around in the depths of the oceans.

Ack! I had finally just forgotten about that awful creature that broadened my fear of the ocean to a fear of just about all water.

But if you sunk that thing 5,000 feet, you might have something here.

Now I have to call Bathfitters and tell them to forget that tub install.

Just ran across this and remembered this thread.

I think you meant occam's razor...

But, I agree that the sighting is the Deepstaria enigmatica.

In case this hasn't been added yet (my browser's playing up and I couldn't view all of the thread), the London Metro had a photo of this today and the article mentioned whale placenta as being one possible solution. I've never seen whale placenta so I couldn't comment...

EDIT: Ah, it's been mentioned on this page.

Your creature is getting popular on ATS. Now it moved over to www.abovetopsecret.com...

I am willing to bet it is some sort of insides of a shark or whale, or large fish. Fish guts, IMO.

When you live around canneries and the fishing industry you get to see a lot of transparent fish guts floating by in the water. At first I was watching and going WTF! but as it unfolded and I got a good look, that is exactly what it reminded me of.

Except that it was alive and moving and expanding and contracting it's skin/membrane over and over again and repositioning itself again and again.

And rippling it's skin , again and again, in only specific areas.


Fellow ATS members...Please think. Think critically and logically.

You really think it's shark guts ?

If you look at the gonad drawings mid page in this link deepseanews.com... It looks almost identical to the creature in the vid, has a similar cell structure of the membrane, although the cell structure looks more isometric on the video. I'm going with Deepstaria Enigmatica. Very cool whatever it is!!!

After watching this video, and reading some comments some people gave... It made me think of something outside the box. What if it is not a living thing, but a giant layer of skin, shed by a very large creature... We dont really know whats down in the deep blue.
