Cascade Creature - YouTube

What is this? Type Cascade on Youtube
Part jellyfish, part squid....part something not of this world. Unreal.
 
That is bizarre!! Where was the video taken, and was that an rov filming?
 
Fascinating, remarkable!
 
WOW! It's a shame the video is only 6 minutes long. I wanted to see more of it.

One of the other uploads (same video) suggests it's a Deepstaria enigmatica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judging by the description on wiki, it sounds right. "Deepstaria enigmatica, is a jellyfish of the family Ulmaridae first described in 1967 by F.S. Russel. The bell of this jellyfish is very thin and wide (up to approx. 60 cm), and resembles a translucent, folding sheet or "lava lamp" as the animal moves"

How long until someone says this new video is a result of BP and the US Govt! SMH.

You mean this one? Blob Like Organism In The Gulf Of Mexico! - YouTube

I've watched the whole thing, started at it religiously and also watched the "color adjusted" version he uploaded... And I can't make out anything! :confused: The way that guy is talking makes me wonder what kinda stuff he's on...
 
So this is not a video of Margaret Thatchers panties as the first comment explains? And here I though the mystery was solved.

Neat video. Thank for posting it.
