The beloved Steven Spielberg film, E.T., was released in 1982. Fast forward to July 9, 2020, when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Exploration and Research, NOAA, announced that a deep-sea team discovered a new type of sponge that resembles the alien known as E.T. This ‘alien-like’ creature was found growing in an area of the Pacific seafloor that dates as far back as 145 million years ago! Known as the “Forest of the Weird”, this extraordinary seascape is over 7,800 ft. below the surface – where strange looking creatures appeared to be growing from the rocky seafloor.
