Oh god it looks like meat! HEART MEAT! wtf indeed

Is that what happens to discarded tumors from cancer operations?

group living worms?

Ugh, someone please tell me what they hell this is!

ALIENS!!!!!!!!!

Omg. At times it looked like what I imagine an actual testicle to look like inside the scrotum, and then at other times it looked like a giant wall-vagina trying to eat a meatball. I'm truly horrified.

Amazing! Wikipedia doesn't seem like much of a help.

Unless someone explains straight-away what this actually is, I'm calling a *viral on this.

If this is real, wouldn't it be a break-through scientific discovery of a new life form? COME ON!

Invocations (viral) cannot be called by Jaace because Jaace is not privileged - sorry.

Why doesn't the sewer robot have a flamethrower?

Dude, its what happens to lung chunks.

Mr. Hanky is a lot cuter in the cartoon.

oh I've seen this shit before.... one of these flew down and attached itself to Spock's back, they damn near blinded him killing it. If it wasn't for his Vulcan physiology he would have probably been blinded forever!

"THE CREATURE THAT BEAR GRYLLS WOULD NOT EAT"

They should take a DNA sample and find out.

If this is genuinely a 'mystery' life form, then this is very hard to believe. That's not to say it isn't true - i wouldn't call fake out of hand, i'm just saying that it's hard to believe.

Because there's only a few alternatives:
1) This type of thing has always existed on our planet, we've just never realised it.
2) It ..evolved.. over the space of, what, 20 years? Or less?
3) It isn't native to this planet.

And all of those are hard to believe when you account that this was taken in a sewer. 1 and 3 are unlikely to be true for a sewer and 2 is to our knowledge impossible.

i hope to fuck these are real but massive props to those responisble if not.

the slight lurch at 0:59 made my arse cheeks clench.

That's creepy as hell. Somehow more so with the absence of sound.

You guys have it all wrong. What we need to do, is:
-Check for the presence of any evil guy paintings in the closest museum.
-Get a sample of the slime monster and put it in a toaster to make it dance.
-Then, of course, hose down Dan Aykroyd with it.

That is truly some horrifying stuff. I'm at a loss. All I can say is W. T. F.

I hope someone's going to try to figure out what those creepy bastards are. This can't be the end of the story: "Hey, Bob. Look at this video of what I found in the sewer. Let's put it on YouTube and forget about it."

It's the next evolutionary life form. First, the dinosaurs, then us. I suspect these guys will be fighting the cockroaches for the planet once were gone.

I, for one, welcome our new ... overlords.

Holy motherfucking shit... that is truly crazy looking.

I really wonder if it is a viral or not... anyone know the source??

Where are the Space Marines and Sigourney Weaver when you need them?

From YT description:

...notice the retraction of a stiff nail like object from the third and last creature from the seam in the pipe.

Gah! I think it's The Flood.

I created an account just to comment on this crazy thing.

What freaks me out is that I live above this road, right across the street from this place. I submitted the link to WRAL, our local news station. Perhaps they can shed some light on this.

Gah. Watch it be some bacterial organism that's been down there for ages.

I look at this thing and it confirms in my mind that there is no God.

I knew they'd be back. http://www.legendsofhorror.org/pages/critters.html

Mommy! Where does doody go when we flush? It goes to the silent ones dear.

Our turds are evolving! Run for your lives!

At first I was freaked out but after watching it a couple of times I think its fake at least in my opinion could be wrong.

I knew there was a reason I played that awful sewer shark game...

The Zerg have finally arrived.

I thought everyone knew about these, they're C.H.U.D. eggs.

Suspicious? I say yes.

Yeah, watch this be a viral stunt by Blizzard to promote Starcraft 2.

Lots of invertebrate water creatures out of water look really alien. I'd like to see this thing under water. What if then it looks like a Sea Anemone. Those things shrink back in. My friend thinks this video is totally fake saying how that creature used up all its energy just to flinch like that. Which i say .. blah! This vid looks completely real. Notice there is no obsessive camera focusing, or mundane camera movement to simulate "Look how real this is".

I love how they have to comment on everything obvious in that trailer.

Anyone? Anyone? All right: SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS.

Touche, that is some serious C'thulu shit right there...

Oh, word on the street is that this is a pod of something called Tubifex worms which are often used as fish food.

^ Hmmm. Doesn't look very similar though. Looks more like a solid bit of tissue.

^
The post I saw said that they are known to form "cyst sacks." I'll see what I can dig up...

Edit: here's a description of the cyst...

http://www.springerlink.com/content/g50476g52883m413/

Edit 2: They can also survive in areas so heavily polluted with organic matter that almost no other species can endure. By forming a protective cyst and lowering its metabolic rate, T. tubifex can survive drought and food shortage. Encystment may also function in dispersal of the worm.

In other news, Mr. Goatse, of internet fame, recently moved from Christmas Island to the neighborhood of Cameron Village in Raleigh, NC.

It's either the natural selection 2 team with a viral or wesker actually managed to release uroboros into the sewage system.

Apparently it's been identified as a species of Bryozoan by a local wildlife expert.

And another expert says it's NOT Bryozoan:
"Dr. Timothy S. Wood who is an expert on freshwater bryozoa and an officer with the International Bryozoology Association. I sent along the video and this was his reponse…

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video."

This video makes it a little more believable that it could be a clump of these worms
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn9kh7MaFQQ&
if you imagine that they would look deflated and slimy when the water in the pipe is drained.

^ Told ya it was Tubifex!

If you read my links above, they describe exactly what is being shown; the tubifex, when faced with harsh conditions, clump into a "cyst."

^ I don't think it's a cyst. I don't really have any expertise in the area, but my guess would be that the cyst is not a colony related arrangement and it is not a short term transition. I would guess cysts are very small (single worm) and inert.

"Mystery Life Form in NC Sewer"

Firstly, that is not NC Sewer!
Secondly, how on earth did you get a hold of my last rectal exam video? O.o
Thirdly, ... uh, ignore the secondly. That IS the NC Sewer after all. Yeah, that's the ticket!

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

Looks like the mushroom king got hit with the de-evolution gun again.

I thought that bryozoans were more hard rigid looking?
Maybe I am mistaken?

I think I just killed one of those in Dead Space...

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Seriously. What the fuck have we created?!? It seems they don't like the light. They clench up when they sense the light hitting them. If we're lucky, they'll only come out at night to feed on our sleeping children.

That would also explain the protuding tendril seen extending vertically from the last sack in the video. It was just a little worm all along!

So WRAL picked this up, and it will be on the news at 5:30 tonight. Yay! They actually listened to me.

https://twitter.com/wral

Apparently it is some type of worm, but not the tubifex....atleast so news 14 reports. Hopefully WRAL will do a better job reporting it!

Discarded parachute.

If you read the paper in poncelon's link, you'll see that cysts are on the order of 2 mm. So, as rychan pointed out these are not cysts. Tubifex do sometimes live in close aggregations, with their hardened tubes adjacent to one another. Again, my guess is that this is aggregation of tubifex or another annelid.

Needs sparkles!

And here's the writeup from the local news station WRAL:
http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5483707/

Their expert votes Bryozoa.

I thought it was interesting that the sewer line is only 6 inches across. I got the impression that the space was much larger, 18 to 24 inches across.

I first thought it was a man size sewer but then look 6"CP which probably stands for 6" copper pipe, the distance travelled by the camera (LC1) did confirm my assessment. So the thing must be 1 or 2 inches size. First thing every one should have looked first...

Some sort of egg sack? God help us when they hatch.

Tubifex it is. Ponceleon called it.

still no love for grinter or zenandcoffee.. the REAL heroes.

I want to poke it with a stick

We must prepare for the coming of Gozer the Gozarian! All hail the mighty Gozer for it shall come to save us all, starting with the sewers of Cameron Village in Raleigh, NC!!!

(Yes, I've been playing the new Ghostbusters game... )

Annelid worms? Somewhere, SHODAN is giggling maniacally...

I agree with Dag,

>> ^dag:
^ Hmmm. Doesn't look very similar though. Looks more like a solid bit of tissue.

Nor briozoan, nor tubifex it is ...

I wasn't really sure about the size of the pipe at first, but what tipped me off was the movement of the camera and the water running by.
Admittedly, the units on the display should have been my first clue.

Holy shit, i'm never going down in the sewers again... I mean, I'm never going.

My god! It's a series of tubes, like the internet!! now it's alive!
