A Deepstaria enigmatica caught on film. Deepstaria enigmatica is a jellyfish of the family Ulmaridae first described in 1967 by F.S. Russel. The bell of this jellyfish is very thin and wide, and resembles a translucent, folding sheet or 'lava lamp' as the animal moves.

Whoa.
are you sure this is a deepstaria enigmatica? it was originally from reddit and many suggested that it could be an embryonic sac.
There is a confirmation by deep-sea expert Dr. Steven Haddock.
