An unusual sea creature that bears a striking resemblance to the Flying Spaghetti Monster — except its spookier and underwater -- was recently spotted off the coast of Angola.
Daniel Jones, from the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK, identified the unusual creature as a kind of siphonophore called Bathyphysa conifera. While the fascinating critter may look like an alien, it is actually a real-life Earthling.
