That’s just over 5 miles down!.................
That thing looks like a stuffed animal. A toy.
Looks like a cartoon video.
I'd love to believe it's real, but I'm skeptical as hell....
If you look at things underwater, things are grey and green and dull colors. Then when you hit it with a bright light, the colors are shockingly bright and neon, amazing
So you found a fish who thinks really deep thoughts
What’s so amazing about really deep thoughts?
Maybe it’s the fish’s bitmoji?

There must be something there for it to eat.
How can it not be crushed by the pressure at that depth?
internal pressure the same?
Looks like the mud puppies that occasionally bloom in my irrigation pond
...my fish is deeper than the deepest ocean
wider than the sky... (apologies to the great Petula Clark and songwriter Tony Hatch).
Wonder if the film got wet recording at those high pressures.
Interestingly, when you bring those deep sea fish up to the surface they blow up. Check out what the blob fish looks like at its normal depth.
I recall watching some video where some oceanographer was talking about how they use the old submarine listening devices (from the cold war) and now use them to listen to whales.
The scientist is playing clips of the various sounds. “That is a humpback off the coast of Alaska; this one is a sperm whale off of California. Etc.
Then he plays one that sounds part animal, part electronic. Like a Grade B sci-fy film noise of the alien flying saucer.
“That is from 5 miles down in the Marianas Trench. We have do idea what that is from.”
I've tried to find the video again over the years with no luck.
Dead stuff from above...................
