Really, wow that is great! The main stream news outlet took the time to announce that this single organism is really a ball of community worms and had the specific information directly from, the all knowing "scientific community".

This living biological entity is not a group or community of worms. This creature reacts in whole as one. In the video you do not see the entire mass separate or retract, you simply see the out attached tentacles react and pull in to tighten and protect the body of the mass.

Wow, mainstream has gone out of its way on this one - I wonder why. I'll bet a million that the living masses are no longer in the sewer.

So gullible

I agree with you on that point for sure as I said on the previous page... these things are not in the sewer anymore, they are most definitely in a lab somewhere at this very moment being scrutinized and cut into little pieces.

Still waiting for a picture or article that resembles these little critters... It may be a long wait.

Hey now... I didn't say that it was a cluster of worms, but that is what the experts are reporting. Posters are going back and forth over what these organisms are, we had people posting questions as to what the authorities make them out to be, and many references and links to wiki.

All I did was post a link to a news group which has a statement from those who would be in the know... I am certain that, given a couple days, there will be additional sites which proclaim these organisms as being something else. Once that happens, most of the posters on this thread will exclaim praise, or perhaps more criticism, concerning the research or authority of those statements.

Apparently, this is a no win situation, with no respect to those who have studied or examined these types of creatures... unless, of course, someone from ATS states "why yes, with my 20 years of biology, I can honestly say..." or "I just received word from my HIGH LEVEL friend who works - who says that his supervisors arn't allowed to release information about this creature because..." Naturally, when those posts begin to arrive, it'll be accepted.

An argument could be made by saying that this organism doesn't look like x or doesn't even come close to looking like y. Then again, does that mean that, because no one has been able to show a person that looks and acts exactly like me (or you), that I (or you) might be an unknown creature?

To have new species discovered in jungles, oceans, or isolated islands is to be expected. But to have something new and unheard of discovered in a man-made sewer system where there isn't levels of contamination is a pretty large mental leap; now, before the nay sayers ripe apart the contamination thing... look at the surrounding environment. Are there massive birth defects within this area? Area there numerous accounts of unexplained fatalities? What is the eco-system like? Surely, if there is something seeping into a concrete sewer pipeline, reasoning should show that the same stuff is also seeping into the water supply or into the plant life.

Do I think it's a cluster of worms? No, not at all... seems more jelly-like to me, when one considers the way the sides along the wall retract. But to immediately take sides by saying that this is an unknown species is just plain ignorant, especially when one doesn't research or try to learn. Never leap to conclusions, always try to learn and discover for yourself first. If information comes your way which goes against what you have learned, make a point / counter point... but look at things from all sides, all angles.

Never be a sheep following the herd, and never be gullible.

Guys. Please read the entire thread before replying. These have been posted several times.

@jeddun - Tubifex has been suggested within the first two pages. Most of the discussion has been whether or not the "blobs" are indeed tubifex or not... I understand you want to contribute, and your frustration when no-one responds to you is clearly visible, but perhaps a quick read through the entire thread would have saved you some trouble and perhaps even swing your opinion? As you said “doesn’t anyone read the thread”?

I must say I don't understand why people give that kind of food to their fish... That's completely stupid, like giving meat to cows...
If Tubifex produce cyst like said in Wikipedia, I must admit this is what one can look at in this sewer.
