Sea Monster captured by Dig Sea Oil Rig Camera

TAMPA, Florida (CBS Tampa) – Has Captain Nemo ever seen anything like this when he was "20,000 leagues under the sea"?

The mysterious creature was recently captured by underwater cameras while deep-sea drilling near the United Kingdom.

The camera catches a giant brown blob with scales floating around, with protruding organs and appendages that have rarely ever been seen.

So, should we be afraid of this new sea creature and will it take over the world?

Stephen Haddock, a scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, California, says the mysterious creature is a Deepstaria Enigmatica jellyfish, much to the chagrin of some Reddit users who thought it was a whale placenta.

"This bag—shaped jelly is not that rare, but it is large, so it is rarely seen whole," Haddock said on his "JellyWatch" Facebook page. "In the video, due to the twisting of the submarine, the jellyfish appears wavy and even turns inside out."

This type of jellyfish is commonly found in the southern Atlantic Ocean, about 5,000 feet below. According to the marine species identification portal, the jellyfish has "mouth arms [...] ending in a curious hook-shaped organ [organs]."
