Scientists from the USA have discovered a strange find on the ocean floor.
Researchers found a golden-colored ball in 2023, but still can't figure out what they're dealing with.
A mysterious sphere was discovered by an underwater robot near the coast of Alaska, Science Alert writes.
The soft-shelled sphere is 10 cm in diameter and was attached to a rock at a depth of 3.3 km. A hole is visible on one side.
Scientists thought they had found the remains of a coral or sponge. But they couldn't confirm this. Another theory is that it was an egg of an animal that hasn't been described by science yet.
If we are talking about some new species, then it is a very large animal. But researchers are skeptical about the veracity of this version.
Scientists raised the ball to the ship, but made no progress in finding an answer to the simple question: "What is it?" All that is known is that the object is of biological origin.
Oceanographers jokingly note that the situation resembles “the beginning of a horror movie.”
