        There's a lot of weird stuff that lives in the depths of the ocean. And we know very little about it according to scientists and are just at the tip of the iceberg as far as what species live down in those dark depths. I wonder what else might live in the depths of the trenches miles beneath the surface?

        That thing was weird, though. Thank you Shell for that!

          As much as I think outer space is pretty cool, I would love to see us invest more towards deep sea exploration. Dinosaur creatures abound down there.

              As others have said the oceans have a lot of unknowns. We have been to the deepest part once I believe and that is the Marianas trench...almost 7 miles down. I read off another site if you could take Mt. Everest at sea level and put it in the trench and it would disappear.

              Makes you wonder what else is down there.

                The more interesting thing about underwater creatures vs. space creatures is that we know there are creatures down there and they are here at home.

                Space creatures are almost definitely in other galaxies and we do not possess anything close to the technology that would enable us to discover them. We're much closer to figuring out what's underwater but we just don't make that effort.

                It always seems that these videos are a result of a camera taking photographs for something completely unrelated to finding life. Would be nice if the government and the science field actually tried.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                  You know how scary it would be to see that thing face to face?

                  I know how scary....it would be really scary.

                    I agree.

                    That thing is definitely different, though. It's a shame we have to come across these things as accidents... like an oil company discovering it, for example. We have so much here left to figure out and unearth... like previously stated, it'd be awesome to see what scientists could uncover in the depths of the ocean.

                      Creepy but cool.

                      And I agree that we definitely need to do more deep-sea exploration.

                        Problem is that when you get about 1 mile down into the ocean it is PITCH BLACK. No light whatsoever. That fact just makes things difficult on the research team when they are 30 miles plus down in the ocean.

                              The deepest we have ever been is about 7 miles down in the Marianas Trench. It's still pretty dark though!
