Didn't see any mention of it, so I thought I would add it for the record.
Consider all that has been said about Denver airport and what lies beneath!
Ok, so it could be a bryozoa, but then again, if a lot of life on earth was seeded from the beyond, then there are doubtless many creatures from other worlds that resemble, in some way or other, creatures on earth. But maybe there is a mechanism by which we can distinguish the earth bound ones and those that hitched a ride more recently. Maybe when we react like "eeeeewwww! what the hell is THAT!" is suggestive that it is not exactly of our world?
Just a thought! Kind of like the many reports about the instinctive predator alert that sounds in the form of the hair on the back of people's necks standing up in the presence of our natural predators. Now, supposedly humans have no natural predators. Sure, not on 3D predators anyway (and not 2D either!)
Well, still, it grosses me out but bryozoa is something I have
not seen before. There are probably TONS of "natural predators"
on the BBM, but we just don't really put that into the foreground
of our mental processes, now do we? We just blithely forge ahead!
As for natural predators, they are probably all around, the simplest
being bacteria (how about the flesh eating ones found in certain
lakes such as in the state of Washington) and then some spiders
such as Brown recluse, poisonous sea creatures we never knew
about, and new species are being discovered all the time that we
cannot keep track! Horrors! ;)
We probably think we are superior, because we believe ourselves
of having the tools (knowledge) to defend ourselves against what
is known (assuming if we properly utilise this knowledge), however,
we probably feel threatened precisely on the things we did not know,
feeling utterly exposed?? Isn't that what causes the little hairs on our
necks to tingle, maybe just a little bit?
I wonder how humans will react when these "aliens" that are due
for some "chow time", at the "proper time" (the "Harvest")? Perhaps
all of this is simply a natural process and must pass, part of our lessons
in respecting natural processes?
Funnily, it reminds me of those old movies of the creatures that
lurks below, rises up to consume us while we are asleep! One of
those movies I am reminded of is: "The Blob"! Ha, ha, ha........
say what!?!?!? It's real!?!? NO!!! I thought it was just Hollywood! :D
Just my (humorous) thoughts & FWIW,
