The transparent fish-like creature seems to perform a slow dance out of water but it beachgoers should be careful as it has venomous tentacles
This mystery blob-like creature washed up on to a beach – and it looks like an alien from another planet.
It made its strange appearance on the Olivenca coastline in Bahia, Brazil, and struggled to move more than a few inches along the sand.
In fact, it is known as a Portuguese man o’ war (Physalia physalis), and has venemous tentacles very like jellyfish.
The video footage shows waves tossing it around every time they rise high enough, but other than that, it barely moves.
The creature has a blown-up appearance a bit like a balloon, with a thin pale pink skin and a tiny head and tentacles.
It’s not the only mystery sea monster to make an appearance recently.
People in Bristol Harbour reported a bioluminescent giant squid-like creature pulsing beneath the water.
Within hours, speculation about the creature’s identity reached fever pitch on social media, chat rooms and message boards.
However, it can be revealed the „alien” was in fact the work of the team at TV channel Watch who created the captivating ‘creature’.
The viral stunt was designed to promote ‘The Happenings’, a new magic and illusion TV show from the producers of Derren Brown.
