The footage was captured using a remotely operated underwater vehicle known as an ROV. Shell Oil, along with other companies, uses the vehicles to study the water around its oil rigs and this particular recording was filmed in the Gulf of Mexico in the Perdido Area of Alaminos Canyon. The rare sighting of the squid was discovered at a depth of more than 7,800 ft back. Adult bigfins have never been captured or sampled but rare video footage recorded by the Shell Oil company reveals their alien-like behaviour. Alien or just a squid? You decide. Video here:

Alien or squid?
Um, squid.

Since its a documented sea creature, theres no reason to assume its alien just because you think it looks weird. There are countless other sea creatures much stranger looking than this guy.
Blanket octopus anyone? http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/streetjudge79/54660105.jpg
Alien Creature = Squid
