ROV captures bizarre looking object 

The 1 minute 18 seconds long video begins with the object floating in the water. Its physical attributes are not similar to any of the known species. As the video progresses, we see the object slowly transform into a black ball-like shape. After some time, it opens up from the round structure and then elongates. Lights of different colours can be seen travelling through the object. Slowly, it can be seen spreading its fin-like structures. Towards the end of the video, the object gets caught upin the output from the ROV thrusters. Let’s have a look at the video.

Stunned by the video, netizens took over the comment section. Since uploaded, the video has managed to gather over 1 million views. "Majestically drifts, majestically shape shifts, majestically glows, majestically does a couple of cute spins and gets brutally ripped apart and tossed in the void. Rip glow globe", wrote a Youtube user. Another person wrote, "I was amazed and thought to myself "what a pretty little creature" Then it got ripped apart and I died a little inside...".The video has over 3K comments.
