Unidentified floating object: Mysterious blob filmed in the deep - and no-one can work out what it could be

Could mysterious ocean blob be deepstaria enigmatica or stygiomedusa gigantea? | Mail Online: "A mysterious ocean 'blob' has been recorded by a deep-sea remote-controlled underwater camera.

The creature looks like nothing seen before, with speculators suggesting it is everything from a jellyfish to the remains of a whale placenta.

While, at a quick glance, the description of a jellyfish makes sense, the creature has organs and appendages never spotted on a jellyfish before.

Meanwhile it could be a whale placenta, but if that is the case then the hexagonal shapes on the skin are a mystery."
