... science experts. They are all baffled by how it morphs from the flat black "symbol" to a black glowing creature.
Who is this "they" you speak of?
There are no scientists in that video.
Right - you called them "science experts".
There is a "biologist" with no credentials and there is a "science journalist" with zero credited assocation with the expedition. For allthey've given us, one is as easily a student microbiologist intern at a town clinic and the other is a
physics journalist in Uganda. Why did the producers feel that the credibilty of their guests was - at best, unimportant- and at-worst, damaging?
Between them these two are quoted as wondering:
"... is it an alien autonomous vehicle ..."
"... theres something almsot almost demonic about it..."
"... perhaps deploying some weapons system ..."
"... a gleaming metal frame..." (actually the narrator chimed in with
his brilliant musings)
Are these the "experts" you speak of?
Funny, they didn't quote anything else from these two. Like anything even remotely to do with science.
I mean, we
know ultimately it's a jellyfish. How could any "expert" think it's a vehicle, or something "demonic" or has a "weapons system" or has a "metal frame"?
Worse yet, since the TV producers presumably actually
watched the video till the end, they
knew it turns out to be a jellyfish. Ask yourself why they would spend all that footage quoting non-scientists overtly demonstrating their incompetence at recognizing a jellyfish?
Is it perhaps because that is much more
entertaining than a straight-up biology documentary, with
credentialed marine biology scientists saying "Here is a deep sea jellyfish. Fascinating creature!" Would that have
you glued to the screen?
Irrelevant. The creature is neither fluid nor diaphanous. It's solid black.
1. These creatures are is
so fluid that you can barely feel them. They have no bones, muscles or sinews. They are literally a bag of water with a smattering of soft bags-for-organs. They virtually disintegrate at a touch. Have you
never encountered one?
2. Other than the hydraulics, they are largely very thin membranes around seawater. The consistency of a half inflated balloon. Quite diaphanous and extremely able to shift shapes. When pulled out of the water, they effectively
melt into a membranous puddle because thy are incapable of holding their own structure except in the neutral buoyancy of the sea
3. It's black in the thick parts, but much of it is near- or entirely- transparent membrane. It is demonstrably not entirely black. So it was in hte fist few frames, so it is in the final frames.
Well its a matter of taking your word for it that it is a jellyfish or taking the scientists' word
Again, there are no scientists apparent in that video.
You'll note the producers did not bother with
any credentials, and left out anything specific about their interests (I wouldn't presume they have scientific "fields"). Actual documentary show producers are responsible, and are are highly-motivated to provide that information. Credibility of the guests equals credibility of their show. Knowledgable people watch for that kind of thing. But the producers
didn't provide that - and that should be a
big red flag that they are
not forth-right with the telling of their story. Incompetent guests makes for an incompetent show. But the doesn't mean it's not
popular - with those who don't know - or care about - competence in their TV shows.
On the other hand, what we
do have a very clear idea of - because we witness it first-hand - is that these two people are wildly incompetent at recognizing a jellyfish. Ask yourself why would the producers
only be able get quotes from profoundly-incompetent people? They couldn't find a single actual scientist - or anyone from the expedition - to speak to them. Perhaps because no actual competent person would offer such wildly alluring sound bites?
for it that it is an unknown creature and morphs from a flat black symbol which is exactly what the video shows.
Objects in videos need to be
interpreted by people who know how to do so. Most times it's trivially easy, like an apple. Sometimes it's harder, like a deep sea creature. Your "experts" saw vehicles and weapons and demons. Is
that "exactly what the video shows"?
So yeah, I will go with what the video evidence shows.
And that is
certainly your prerogative. No one is denying you the right to believe that a jellyfish is really a 2-dimensional demonic, metallic, alien vehicle with weapons.
As it is everyone
else's prerogative to dig a little deeper than "I'll go with "it-looks-demonic-girl". And that's what we're doing.
It's why it got aired on a nationally broadcasted TV show about strange phenomena in the first place.
Right. Because TV shows aren't in the business of entertainment.
