Scientists stunned by last week’s discovery Strange oval-shaped and golden-coloured element found at the bottom of the sea in Alaska. Neither theory has been ruled out by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the author of the discovery. They have no idea what it could be other than, in their opinion, a biological element.
The golden orb was found at a depth of 3,300 meters during a mission to map never-before-explored deep-sea habitats. While robotic machines sent by NOAA analyze the ocean floor, Mysterious egg buried in a stone.
Egg’ there was a holeOne of the scientists said this indicated “something was trying to get in or out.” It is currently unknown what might happen.
They tampered with the object and damaged it
Out of curiosity and after locating this mysterious natural element, The researchers decided to do exactly what no one recommended in these cases.Q. Instead of leaving it where it was, the NOAA machine deployed a remote-controlled arm to “tickle” the object and dislodge it from the rock where it was located. One of them said ironically during the operation: “I hope something doesn’t decide to come out when we touch it… It’s like the beginning of a horror movie.”
As soon as you touched the object, it was already slightly torn as a result of contact with the robot gripper.
The main theories suggest that it is probably a shiny eggshell or remnants of some type of spongebut there is still no definitive answer.
“Although it is somewhat humbling to be surprised by this finding, It’s a reminder of how little we know about our own planet. NOAA Ocean Research Coordinator Sam Candio told the Washington Post:
“We cannot yet identify it beyond the fact that it is biological in origin,” NOAA explained, adding: “We probably won’t know more until we get it to a laboratory.”
We are faced with a possible new species
“At first sight, Remains of an egg box, possibly belonging to an invertebrate animal “Or maybe it’s a slightly crushed sponge,” Jon Copley, professor of ocean studies and science communication at the University of Southampton, told the Post after looking at the images.
Kerry Howell, professor of Deep Sea Ecology at the University of Plymouth, told the Daily Mail: “In the 20 years I have been investigating the depths of the sea, I haven’t seen anything like that. “There are many species to be discovered in the deep sea, so this could easily be a new species,” he predicted.
