'Alien' life form spotted in Bristol harbour: a close encounter or is something fishy going on?


 

Could this footage of a strange glowing creature swimming in Bristol harbour be proof that the planet is slowly being taken over by aliens?

Camerman John Tombe, who filmed the extraordinary sight alongside several other bystanders, posted underneath: "Filmed this tonight. What the hell?'

Marine biologists believe the squid-like animal could be a marine salp which had drifted off course because of the weather.

Others have suggested it could be a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish, otherwise known as a 'crystal jelly', not often seen in Britain.
They tend to be found off the west coast of North America and are capable of producing flashes of blue light.

A similar species was spotted off the coast of Scotland in 2009 and is now on display at the Macduff Marine Aquarium.
