Oh gawd, that was disgusting. It's probably the unholy aborted by-product of (incorrect orifice) impregnation that was flush down the toilet.

This video looks fake to me, there's something "polished like a video game trailer" about it...

has anyone thought this is just.. the inside of some guys sphincter?
seriosly
colonoscope much???

San Francisco...

Sewer...

It's got to be the result of decades of countless forms of bacteria and semen intermingling.

I saw the video earlier and I am going with a gag or viral marketing for a movie. Wouldn't be surprised if another video is posted with one hatching later.

kill it with a stick

also it just occured to me. How can it be a 350 million year old life. I have seen those before in ponds infact there is a video of rednecks blowin them up. They dont react to light like that.







Whatever these are they dont like light.

WTF is that?

Looks real enough to me because that video does not look like it used any special effects!! Looks kinda ugly..... makes you think about 'Aliens' the movie.... and all those eggs........ damn! Next we'll be seeing some huge Alien........

Is this not inside somebody's rectum? I've never travelled down a sewer pipe so I gotta ask, do they REALLY look all slimey and covered in what look like veins? 'Cus to me this looks like somebody's colonoscopy.

Okay I just have to say this as it's starting to really bother me. Anyone who thinks this thing is a bunch of tubifex worms needs a course in observation. It's clear to even a partially blind person that that is definately not what we're looking at in this video.

I have totally no idea WHAT it is but I'm fairly certain that tubifex worms are not the answer here. I dont even need to have a father leading the field of entomology to realise that what I'm looking at there is neither worms clumped together nor a pumkin looking bryozoan.

If those are tubifex worms, please explain to me why some of the worms dont clump to the central part but instead appear to cling to the walls thereby holding the mass of the object in place ?

Explain to me why when exposed to light, certain tentacles retract INTO the central part. Explain to me why they aren't all writhing around like the ridiculous video that's being used to prove that lame-ass theory.

Honestly it annoys me when "experts" in certain "fields" come up with the most laughable explanations for what they're seeing simply because they HAVE to have an answer. God forbid they say "I dont know", after all that studying at university - how embarrassing would it be for a person who dedicates his life to studying spongy blobs and maggot orgies to not know what he was looking at.

Bah, cant we just accept that this thing is something either extremely rare or entirely new.

I was going for tubiflex worms, but, do they live outside of water?

And the video of the tubiflex doesn't really look like the OP's.
Maybe it's a variation of them, though.

Really nice find!

I have to say that i havent read every post so if i'm repeating someones material then i apologise.

The first thing that crossed my mind was that if these things are in the sewers (and assuming this is not a hoax of any kind) then what defence do they have against the rats that i assume also frequent those areas?

Having only a basic knowledge of vermin, but knowing a few of their habits, there is not much that the rat community will not eat but they do seem to have an almost psychic, or telepathic ability to communicate with their co-inhabitants. I wonder if this "organism" has any defensive capabilities and, if not, does it "warn" off predators in some way to save itself?

Just a thought. good thread by the way, very enjoyable.
