Scientists found a golden orb 3,250 meters deep.
 People guessed egg, sponge, even alien.
 Now the mystery is finally solved.
 And somehow, it is still creepy.
 Full story in the comments.
Full Summary Version
 In 2023, scientists found a strange golden orb deep in the Gulf of Alaska.
 It was sitting more than 3,000 meters below the surface.
Nobody knew what it was.
 An egg? A sponge? Something unknown?
The internet did what the internet does.
 Alien theories showed up fast.
But after DNA analysis and deep-sea investigation, scientists finally solved it.
The golden orb was not an alien egg.
 It was dead tissue from a giant deep-sea anemone called Relicanthus daphneae.
Specifically, it was part of the animal’s base, the part that anchors it to rocks.
So the mystery is solved.
 But the deeper message remains: the ocean still makes ordinary biology look extraterrestrial.
