These divers found a bizarre organism floating 22 meters below the surface of the water. The car-sized sphere sparked much speculation, but the mystery was soon solved. It was a floating ball of squid eggs.



These egg masses are likely found much deeper in the ocean and only occasionally drift to shallow water. Another factor is time. Dr. Staaf and colleagues found that the developing squid in the giant mass took just three days to hatch. That’s a pretty small window to find such a well-hidden target.
