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. This bizarre bycatch, which the angler regularly posts for his over 600,000 Instagram followers, has included a toothsome wolffish, a critter with a Kardashian-evoking pout, and other animals whose existence suggests that our oceans might be as mysterious as deep space. 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. The Lovecraftian critter caused quite a stir among Instagram users, who claimed it was evidence of extra-terrestrial existence. 'That is 100% an alien,' declared one viewer, while another wrote, 'That's the pet 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 was rather a result of 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.

Fisherman catches a baffling ‘alien' creature from the ocean
Ammon News - A Russian fisherman has pulled a strange-looking creature out of the murky depths while deep-sea trawling in the North Pacific. In footage posted by Roman Fedortsov to his popular Instagram account, the creature sits perched on the rusting, weatherworn railing of a fishing trawler, bloated, slimy and apparently quite dead. For many viewers of the video, the creature evokes images of all manner of fictitious alien creatures including, but not limited to, the Martians from Mars Attacks! Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu. 'Kill it and burn it and don't ever catch one of those again,' said one fearful user. 'Yeah, aliens are real,' concluded another.

Roman Fedortsov, known for sharing unusual marine life, captured footage of a smooth lumpsucker fish with a bulbous appearance. Fedortsov, who has gained a following of over 600,000 on Instagram, frequently shares images of odd deep-sea creatures accidentally caught in fishing nets. His latest catch—a gray, bloated lumpsucker—has drawn comparisons to fictional extraterrestrials from 'Mars Attacks' and 'Megamind.' The video, filmed aboard Fedortsov's fishing vessel, shows the fish resting on the railing, its gelatinous body and unusual features making it appear otherworldly.

Some even called for the fish to be destroyed, highlighting the unsettling impact of its appearance. This is the third weird alien deep sea fish to surface... WTF is under our oceans .. That's not a fish. It has no fins and what looks like a spine. — Think Question CHANGE (@Think_QChange) February 27, 2025 Despite the online speculation, marine biologists explain that the lumpsucker's bloated look is likely due to rapid pressure changes as it was pulled from deep waters. Lumpsuckers are typically found at significant depths and use their specialized suction discs to cling to rocks in strong currents. Fedortsov's discoveries continue to captivate audiences, shedding light on the bizarre and mysterious creatures lurking in the ocean depths. His collection includes everything from toothy wolffish to eerie gelatinous species, fueling curiosity about the vast
