Ok, it's official. I'm never going in the water again. LOL Check out this bizarre and may I say hideous creature that was caught in the waters of New Jersey. It's amazing the life that our planet produces, no matter how horrifying it may be.

Alien-like creature pulled from New Jersey area an Internet sensation

Forget all this chatter about exploding meteors and some asteroid making a dauntingly close pass to earth: There are aliens among us! Or so some might think after inspecting the image of a bizarre-looking denizen pulled from the waters of New Jersey.

Let's agree to disagree on that point.

Stepping on one would be bad enough. Can you imagine one of those things latching onto your body and sucking the blood out of you?

It's not strange enough, in Portugal, we (me not included) eat them, as we do with most living things.

I just saw this on the Internet. Thanks for posting


I don't understand---if this planet can house so many horrific looking creatures, why is it so hard for some people to accept that on other planets (and spaceships) there are INTELLIGENT beings that look exactly like these creatures here?
I believe the creatures here are diminutive versions of their peers out there. No one else has a plausible explanation as to where they ALL came from. We know evolution doesn't cut it anymore.

So in theory, this eel could very well be superior on another planet (or spaceship) with reasoning skills and the dexterity to build things.

It's probably some genetic mutation from all the nasty chemicals that DuPont pollutes the waters up there with.

That is one damned ugly looking fish!

I tend to stay out of the ocean and rivers as it is; I don't like having my spot on the food chain dropped exponentially by simply taking one step too many.

From what I have read, it is thought that it is a trick of the camera angle to make it look as big as it does.

Sea lampreys only measure to about three feet, so the specimen in this image must appear gigantic because of the camera angle.

I am sure you are right the pictures of them attached to fish seem to be rather skinny and small.

Ick, and people think they are not going to put human brains in robots at some point if they get the chance!

Scientists install living eel brain in small robot to call the shots

Hello, newbie here, I just had to comment on the picture of this creature caught in New Jersey. When I saw this pic I almost dropped my jaw!! I remembered a movie called" Dreamcatchers". I believe it was a Steven King Movie, set in Maine and ended up in a reserviour in MA. The alien being looked exactly like that creature. It starred Morgan Freeman.

I read that as well. But when you look at the pic and the size of the spear that the man is holding, and then compare it to the entry and exit wound on this creature, I'm leaning towards this thing is larger than the norm.

Yeah, I remember seeing that movie. I read some of the novel as well come to think of it. I believe that the aliens were called "$hitweasels". At least, the eel-like ones were.

There's a large trick of perceptive going on there , its held at an angle to the camera to make it look a lot larger than it really is. If he straightened that sick up you would see it a lot thinner than his wrist which is normal Lamprey size.
