Knew they'd eventually film one once they got the technology. I just wish there was something in the shot to give it a sense of perspective. They said this one was bus-sized, but you don't get that impression because there's nothing else there.

I'm not surprised that that Squid looked ticked.  I'm also not surprised it was a Japanese team that video it.

They will come up to the surface and they are not restricted to the Pacific - I saw one mid-Atlantic. We were transiting back on a clam Sunday so the poobahs running things decided to slow the ship down so people could fish. There were tuna - big honking fish - running along just under the surface and myself watching them from the torpedo deck well forward of where folks were fishing because I was enjoying some fresh air and the aft deck always stinks of diesel. Anywho, saw something that looked like a tan trashbag break the surface to I leaned over for a better look and there are tuna everywhere trying to get in the ships slipstream like dolphins do when we're going someplace they want to go. Something big and not tuna shot forward grabbed one of the tuna, squinched up, rolled, drifted back - I could make out this big flat eye soccer ball in size and lots of tentacles tight around a bundle - then it straightened itself out squirting bits of pale pink fish guts into the water, turned 90 degrees straight down and was gone.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like bad CGI?

I heard they found something else...
