Unknown life form discovered in carolina sewers

Doesn't look like a bunch of worms to me?? Unless they're VERY tightly bundled? Also, the camera seems to pivot and turn perfectly to find one each time?

Anyone else find it weird that there's no wide shot of this thing? All we get is a close up scan of it.

how do you mean?, it was a very small pipe with a little automated robot being driven down with a small camera what do you think the videos missing? I didn't realize the space was that tight. But what I meant was a shot taken from farther away that might have revealed a sound studio or something else that's incriminating. We don't really know where that was taken at this point. We only know what the poster wants us to believe. Idk, your the master of dubunking things like this.

actually you reminded me, i read yesterday the...i cant remember the name but some board of such and such in the states confirmed its real footage from a pipe inspection and not a viral video, but they didnt say what it was.

News reports say this thing is Golfball sized. Must be a tiny pipe and a tiny robotcam.

The 'tubifex' explanation to my mind is the best one. Here's why: 1. As you may remember from high school biology class, tubifex are an ecological indicator of a highly polluted, low-oxygen environment, and are usually found in the soil near the lower courses of rivers and streams contaminated with industrial or agricultural waste (read: shite). These disgusting 'fruit' are forming, as you can see, on cracks in the pipe where dirty water is seeping out into the surrounding soil, attracting these things. A pipe is a bit different to their natural river environment, and they're all forcing themselves through that tight crack together and, as the man said, are becoming entangled. 2. They do look like worms if you observe very closely, underneath the slimy surface you can see gooey noodle things moving around. They seem to have coated themselves in a sludgey mucous-like material which makes their individual forms difficult to discern. Man, I really really hate worms...

They seem to have coated themselves in a sludgey mucous-like material which makes their individual forms difficult to discern. That might explain it! I didn't want to argue with the worm doctors, but the sewer video and the video of the bloodworms clumping in the tank really don't look the same to me. Maybe it's being coated in goo that helps make their movements look more like one big movement too?

After I read you post, I toyed with the idea of replicating this mass of worms out of water here in my kitchen (maybe it would look different out of water so that the mucosa around bloodworm clump could have a chance to solidify) but when I mentioned it to my wife she vetoed me. Guess she does have a point that it would just be too gross to do this in her kitchen just in the interest of science!
