Ever since the United States Air Force veteran David Grusch admitted to the House Oversight Committee that the military is in possession of alien craft, including a deceased “biologic” pilot, the public has been obsessed with finding their own encounters of the third kind. 


But all such examples, from alleged UFOs to shapeshifters, are believed to have extraterrestrial or spiritual origins. That is until a video of a fisherman holding an exceedingly creepy black fish with red fangs was posted by the popular Twitter account @Bornakang.



“I feel like aliens are all in the water,” @WillBarb44 commented. She was hardly the only one to think so.





But while it’s true that the ocean is home to millions of species we would consider completely alien to our above-ground existence, that doesn’t mean that they’re unnatural, or out of this world. In this case, the black beauty is a red tooth triggerfish; also known as a vampire fish.




Additionally, based on an old Reddit post in r/NatureIsF***ingLit that appears to originate from this clip, the video is at least two years old.


But just because this red-toothed fish is real and supposedly harmless, doesn’t mean I want to be around if gets pissed off. That’s how you lose a finger… or worse.
