The video is short and cute, recommended.

"This resulted in a ghostlike appearance, leading to a comment on social media that it should be called Casper, like the friendly cartoon ghost. It is almost certainly an undescribed species and may not belong to any described genus."

NOAA says that the appeance of the animal on the images sent back by Deep Discoverer "confused several of our shore-based scientists."

Indeed, a video released by NOAA (complete with a groovy soundtrack) features one observer exclaiming, "That animal is not in the HURL guide."

Then he (kinda) quotes Taylor Swift: "I have never, like, ever, seen that one.""
