Alien-like Squid Filmed at Ultra-Deep Oil-Drilling Site
from article:
A mile and a half (two and a half kilometers) underwater, a remote control submersible's camera has captured an eerie surprise: an alien-like, long-armed, and—strangest of all—"elbowed" Magnapinna squid.

That's really cool looking. What's crazy is that there are probably thousands of creatures down there that we've yet to see.

Awesome.
We don't know much more about the deep oceans than we do about the surface of Mars. There's some cool stuff in the deep, deep places of our world.

Yeeks! I've been watching the X-files too much lately I think. When they said that no real specimen has ever been found, I immediately thought that it was a government conspiracy! :rofl:

I believe they were referring to one of the species where they haven't found any adults yet.
