Deep-sea creature photobombs us while investigating seafloor anomaly

On an overnight shift doing ecological surveys in the Red Sea, an OceanX technician discovers an anomaly on the seafloor. Thinking that could either be "a rock or a wreck," the team of the ship deploys the deep sea instruments to check it out, only to make an even more intriguing ocean discovery than they expected: a "giant" squid of between 3-5 meters (10-16 feet).
