'Flying Spaghetti Monster' Spotted Off Coast of Angola

10:10 GMT 15.08.2015 (Updated: 19:25 GMT 19.10.2022)

A bizarre underwater creature was filmed by BP workers while they were carrying out routine operations near an oil well off coast of the African country.

The creature was immediately nicknamed the "Flying spaghetti monster".

Scientists, in their turn, identified it as a Rhizophysid Siphonophore. Siphonophores belong to a group of animals that include corals and jellyfish. Some of them are dangerous to human beings.
