Mysterious golden egg 🥚 spotted in Alaska sea : Scientists baffled #goldenegg #alaska #viral

In the depths of Alaska's coastal waters, scientists on an NOAA Ocean Exploration expedition made a perplexing discovery. A remote underwater vehicle encountered a mysterious golden orb, firmly attached to a rock adorned with white sponges, measuring about 10 centimeters (4 inches) in diameter and featuring a hole on one side.

The orb's true nature remains shrouded in mystery. Researchers offered various speculations, suggesting it could be an egg casing from an unidentified species, the remains of a deceased sponge, or even a type of coral. During a live-streamed dive on August 30, scientists expressed their fascination with this enigmatic find.

The presence of a hole in the orb raised intriguing questions about what might have emerged from or entered it, leading to the hypothesis that it could be an egg, given its fleshy texture. If indeed an egg, the intriguing puzzle of which organism it belongs to becomes even more captivating due to its considerable size.

To unlock the secrets of this captivating golden orb, scientists used a robotic arm to gently manipulate and collect it for further examination, including DNA analysis aimed at identifying the creature linked to this enigmatic discovery.
