Fisherman horrified after catching baffling ‘alien’ animal from the ocean depths

The sea is dark and full of terrors.

There may or may not be water on Mars, but there are apparently Martians in the water. A fisherman is making waves after sharing footage of a bizarre, mystery sea creature that viewers have compared to an “alien.”

The clip was uploaded by Roman Fedortsov, a Russian trawlerman who photographs the sea monsters he’s accidentally snagged while trolling in the deep, Jam Press reported.

, a critter with a Kardashian-evoking pout, and other animals whose existence suggests that our oceans might be as mysterious as deep space.

Viewers compared it to various cranially endowed characters from popular media, including Megamind, the aliens from “Mars Attacks” and brainiac baddie Krang from the “Ninja Turtles” series. Jam Press/@rfedortsov_official_account

His latest monster clip included footage of a gray, bulbous-looking animal sitting on the railing of his ship.

Fedortsov identified the blob as a smooth lumpsucker, a species of marine ray-finned fish that grows to over a foot long and resides in the depths.

users, who claimed it was evidence of extra-terrestrial existence.

“That is 100% an alien,” declared one viewer, while another wrote, “That’s the **** of aliens living underwater.”

“Kill it and burn it and don’t ever catch one of those again!” advised a third.

“Fished in Chernobyl?” quipped one wit, while another wrote, “Alien or predator?”

Others compared the fish to various cranially endowed characters from popular media, including Megamind, the aliens from “Mars Attacks” and brainiac baddie Krang from the “Ninja Turtles” series.

However, the fish’s bloated body was likely not caused by a preternaturally large cerebellum, but rather rapid pressurization changes during its journey to the surface.

This isn’t the first deep-sea denizen to make a splash of late.

Earlier this month, Gen Z TikTok users were moved to tears over the saga of a small anglerfish that perished shortly after swimming to the surface.
