Strange Phenomenon - WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

Wow!! Don't know what it could be. I've only read page one so far, so not sure if it was asked, but how did the dog react?? Good find by the way.....

I vote for poking it with a stick.

You know what this reminds me of...anyone remember the BP oil spill, when that RV camera took a video of something very weird on the seabed? It was creepy as hell and looked like a large mass or like something from the sci-fi movie 'The Blob'.

It was pulsating and undulating like this thing seems to be doing.

Weird.

I wouldn't be standing anywhere near that thing either!

I agree. If he doesn't hit it with a rock or stick he's not a man. In the event that it was filmed by a female, please include her in the next video.

Pretty strange with the undulating red blob thing going on there.....

It's a portal to middle Earth reptiliansville

A small thermal spring..

The water is warm, rising from the mantle and mixing with minerals as it rises, causing the pulsing effect as it reaches the surface of the shallow pool, where it cools quickly and disperses.

Notice the uniform melt in the ice around the effect and the wildlife in the water, even though it's obviously the middle of winter, the water is warm enough to sustain life that shouldn't be there at that time of year....

Also to in answer to another poster who thought thermal springs were volcanic in nature... No, most thermal springs are simply a product of the geology of a region, that allows water to sink to the mantle, where it is super heated and shot back up to the surface through the same process, cooling as it passes through the porous bedrock on the way back up.

If it were a spring wouldn't the water from the spring be coming up to the service of the water it's residing in instead of just seemingly imploding back in on itself. Because if you look at what you would think was ice at first its actually milted and its just water so if it were a spring I couldn't help but thank the water from the spring would be coming to the service of the water it is under.

Freakier than that talking mime!

It is coming to the surface. Look at around 1:21 - 1:22 in the video. There are ripples on the surface showing the water is welling up.

It's not suckingback in its just the algae over the vent settling back down before the accumulated pressure blows water back up into the pond.

Yeah! Probably a little confusing for the frog though.

i was thinking poke it with a stick also! if it were a spring of somekind i would think that that would cause the silt from the bottom to be kicked up and cause the water to be murky, but its crystal. very weird also that the frog seemed fine w it.

OPer fish dont need air to breath, that ish was funny when i read it. keep workin on your english vernacular that OP was ridiculous your not there yet but soon.

Bizarre! S&F pal!

Seemed very toxic, copper colour kind of seemed an indicator of "danger"!!!
But then the Frog in the bottom right of the picture for the 1st half of the video seemed to be moving rather freely without problems!

I'm gonna speculate to some type of Natural Terra-Forming from below the surface!!!

Excellent find!

Peace!

The red blob in the center does not appear to be silt because it has no dispersion in the water. There should be some particulates dispersed, but there isn't.

What it *LOOKS* like to me is some sort of creature like an octopus moving underneath the mud layer.

Huh... the things I saw were mushroom white with darker features in the crusty cracks on the surface. I saw them in morning light, so for all I know, they glowed at night.

I guessed they were some sort of slime mold, though they were not "slimy." Star Jelly is a known phenom, but I hadn't heard of "my" things anywhere else... weird.

reply to post by stormcell


I'm sure they were something along those lines, actually, but they were dry, like white store mushrooms with hexagrams of crust and were darker in the cracks between the surface "plates" on the outside and light and airy on the inside.

Sort of like small "Hortas" from that Star Trek episode where the miners are being killed by rock creatures crossed with pastry puffs... heh.

I would have yelled at it !! Then if it pissed me off i would have,punched it.....then finally become best friends ...
