A mysterious discovery on the seafloor of the Gulf of Alaska has sparked intrigue among researchers. During a dive on a small seamount, scientists from NOAA Ocean Exploration stumbled upon a peculiar yellowish object, initially dubbed the ‘yellow hat.’ However, this unidentified find is now affectionately referred to as the ‘golden egg’ or ‘golden orb.’

NOAA Ocean Exploration shared a blog post providing details about this enigmatic object. Described as a smooth, gold, dome-shaped specimen measuring just over 10 centimeters (4 inches) in diameter, it was firmly attached to a rock, with a small hole or tear revealing a similar gold interior.

Cameras zoomed in to capture the mysterious item, leaving scientists perplexed about its identity. Initial speculations ranged from a dead sponge attachment to coral or even an egg casing.

Sam Candio, an expedition coordinator at NOAA Ocean Exploration, expressed their fascination with the deep sea’s strangeness. They plan to subject the ‘golden orb’ to laboratory analysis using advanced tools and the collective expertise of the scientific community.

This intriguing discovery reminds us of the vast mysteries still awaiting exploration on our own planet, emphasizing how much we have yet to uncover about our oceans. Researchers are determined to unravel the secrets behind the ‘golden egg,’ whether it represents a new species or an unknown life stage of an existing one, and the world watches with bated breath for the answers to this underwater enigma.
