Itβs a UFO β an underwater fishy object.
A jellyfish that looks amazingly like a flying saucer was recently filmed by a team of marine biologists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
This βUFOβ isnβt really unidentified. Its scientific name is rhopalonematid trachymedusa, a type of deep-sea jellyfish. It was filmed last week by scientists aboard the Okeanos Explorer, a NOAA ocean research ship now exploring the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa.
Watching the jellyfish move around the deep ocean can be a hypnotic experience.
