A team of divers set off to explore a sunken World War II ship off the Norwegian coast, but what they found was something far more mysterious. While making their way back to shore, Ronald Raasch, Nils Baadness and Brynjar Aarnseth came face-to-face with a giant floating orb.
The bubble hovered 17 meters (56 feet) below the surface and appeared to be see-through. The divers turned their flashlights on it and realized that the sphere was filled with hundreds of thousands of little animals.
“At first I thought it was a giant jellyfish, but when we came a bit closer, we saw that this was [like] nothing else we had seen before,” Baadness told The Dodo. “It was amazing.”
Baadness recognized the sphere as a giant squid egg — something he had only seen on the news. “To see it in person was a once-in-a-lifetime moment,” Baadness said.
