A Historic Encounter:
Rewind 21 years to the groundbreaking moment when Dr Julian Finn, a senior curator of marine invertebrates at Museums Victoria, and colleagues, captured the first-ever video of a male Blanket Octopus. Fast forward to 2019, and the ocean once again graced us with a close encounter, this time through the lens of guest videographer Mike Dunn.

The footage provides an intimate look at the octopus's behaviour, showcasing its extraordinary presence in the ocean depths.
Scientific Collaboration and Extraterrestrial Connections:
But the intrigue doesn't end there. Over 30 scientists, inspired by these deep-sea wonders, came together to explore the possibility of the Octopus having extraterrestrial origins. Their collaborative effort resulted in a comprehensive paper delving into the mysteries of this captivating cephalopod. Could the Octopus be a messenger from the stars, a creature with ties to realms beyond our understanding?

In the year 2018, a consortium of 33 researchers unveiled a thought-provoking paper proposing a fascinating theory about the origins of today's octopus. According to their conjecture, the ancestors of these extraordinary marine creatures may have journeyed to Earth from the cosmic "seeds" of another celestial body. The paper meticulously presented compelling evidence, offering an intriguing perspective on how these remarkable animals might have cosmic roots.
Transforming Octopus:
What makes the Blanket Octopus stand out? Well, aside from its rarity, it has this mind-blowing ability to transform into what looks like a completely different species seemingly at the flick of a switch. I'm sure that there's more to learn from the humble Octopus that when revealed to the world will be mind-blowing. The relatively recent footage reveals an alien-like appearance, sparking awe and comparisons to extraterrestrial life forms. It's like watching a creature from another realm right here on Earth.
Concluding Thoughts:
As we delve into the mysteries of the deep ocean and the captivating Blanket Octopus, the 2019 video by Mike Dunn stands as a testament to the ongoing exploration of our planet's enigmatic waters. From the first male sighting captured by Dr Julian Finn to the recent underwater ballet filmed by Mike Dunn, each encounter unveils a new layer of fascination, leaving us to wonder about the extraterrestrial possibilities lurking beneath the waves.
