Alien sea creature with 100 arms captured off Singapore

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/alien-sea-creature-100-arms-4434948

This bizarre-looking 'alien' creature was caught by a deep sea fisherman in Singapore.

Ong Han Boon, 54, was at his favourite fishing spot on the island of Sentosa where he cast his line with the hope of catching a fresh tasty treat for lunch.

As he settled down with a few cans of his favourite beer, he noticed a pull, but he never expected what came up out of the sea.

He said: "I spotted the line going up and down, and feeling a bit peckish I got quite excited as I hauled it in.

"But when I pulled it out of the water I was completely flummoxed by what I was looking at."

The creature appears to have up to 100 moving tentacle-like arms and can only be resembled to a cross between a starfish, an octopus and an alien monster.

He added: "I’ve had quite a few odd things from come out of the ocean but I have never seen anything like this before in my life. It had all these arms waving around.

"I thought it looked like an alien or some kind of mutant."

Boon had posted his video of the bizarre creature online hoping that someone will be able to tell him what it is.

"I’ve asked all my friends and none of them know and all my internet searches have not turned up anything that looks like this.

"So, if no one can't identify it then I guess I’m right - it’s either an alien or I’ve discovered a new species of mutant sea creature.

He added: "That would not surprise me with all the pollution they put in the water nowadays."

Would.

I read on a science blog yesterday that its just an evolutionary cousin of a starfish. No big deal.

I think you meant to type that in the other thread I've just put up re tattooed model jiggling boobs? or maybe sea creatures turn you on? :shock:

It's a basket sea star. Apparently.

Kill it with fire.

Right, there are definitely strawberry floating faces in that thing. I can see the faces.

Nope.

In his house at R'lyeh...

Yeah if your mates and Google don't know then it must be....

Yeah, I'm sure the dude from Singapore said exactly that. That he was feeling peckish, and completely flummoxed.

Spawn of Cthulhu :dread:

Pretty sure that's Ebola.

Seems a really big starfish to me but that divides a bit like a strawberry.

I know you're not being entirely serious, but English is an official language of Singapore. It's not the national language, but pretty much everyone who lives there is perfectly fluent in English. A Singaporean is probably more likely to speak sophisticated English than someone from Glasgow or Liverpool. :lol:

I always find it amusing seeing this fella talk on UFO/alien documentaries when you consider he looks like a Centauri from Babylon 5.

Wait, that guy is real?
