Mystery sea creature dubbed ‘something out of ALIEN’ with glowing spikes washes up on UK
A MYSTERIOUS creature with glowing spikes has been spotted crawling along a UK beach, leaving locals horrified.
The alien-like animal was seen by a conservation group as it wriggled slowly along the shore in Sussex.
The strange critter was identified as a Sea Mouse which tends to live on the sea floor, but was washed up on the coast of the village Rye due to bad weather.
Rye Harbour events organiser Sarah Watson said: “This furry creature is a Sea Mouse, a chunky marine worm.
“About 15cm long and rarely seen, but in winter, storms can wash them up on the high tide line.
“Look closely among its duller bristles to see a shimmering, iridescent fringe.”
The Sea Mouse’s vibrant bristles can glimmer blue, green, and gold, making it look like something straight out of a sci-fi film.
They can grow up to 30cm and while they are common on UK coasts they’re rarely seen in person, often laying buried head-first in the sand.
As creepy as they look, the spiky Sea Mouse isn’t harmful to humans, despite being an active predator.
The sharp-looking creature feeds on crabs and other worms while under the sea bed.
They’re also not particularly fast and won’t be chasing you down any time soon.
Commenting on a video of the creature, Sarah said: “The video is sped up to be three times faster than real life.
“Clever engineering aside, sea mice are rather slow.”
Sarah assured locals that the unique animal found at Rye Harbour nature reserve was popped safely back into the sea.
They usually are found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean so it was no surprise people were shocked when it was spotted on the beach.
People have been sharing their reaction to the bizarre animal online.
One user joked: “Looks like somebody has dropped their toupee.”
Another added: “I ‘d just keep well away and make sure I kept my shoes on.”
A third user simply wrote: “OMG.”
The scientific name for the Sea Mouse is Aphrodita aculeata.
This was inspired by Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love, according to the Wildlife Trusts.

Horrifying moment GK Barry gasps for air in I’m A Celeb 2024’s hardest Bushtucker Trial yet
GK Barry is left gasping for air in I’m A Celeb’s hardest Bushtucker Trial yet.
The podcast host, 25, and Radio 1 host Dean McCullough team up for the Drown in the Dumps challenge.
In a preview clip, GK, real name Grace, is seen holding her breath as she swims to the bottom of a tank to unlock a star with a key.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds, as the water continues to fill the tank – leaving the star gasping for air.
Grace attempts to unlock the various padlocks with the key – with encouragement from hosts Ant and Dec.
But the YouTuber is left struggling as she’s forced to go back up to the surface to catch her breath.
ITV viewers will have to tune in tonight to see how many stars the duo gets.
Earlier this week, Grace took on the Vile Volcano in a bid to win stars for camp, but was faced with a massive spider on her helmet.
Heading underground, the Saving Grace podcast host wasn’t alone, with her joined by critters galore for her first trial of the season.
Grace impressed viewers after bagging nine out of ten stars.
While last night Dean dramatically quit the Bushtucker Trial after breaking down in tears.
The Sinister Sarcophagus trial started with Dean climbing into a mummy figurine, as he attempted to steady his nerves.
The Radio 1 star was then visibly shaken as he squeezed his head into an insect-filled box to retrieve stars for the camp with his mouth.
Ant and Dec asked him a series of Egypt-related questions and for every one he answered correctly, a star was lowered down.
He told the presenters: “You’re so extra this series, so extra!’ before adding: “I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention.”
Dean had to release the stars using only his mouth, however, he quickly began to panic.
Within moments, he was shouting: “oh no, oh no”.
He then screamed the famous words: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”
His decision to quit meant the camp won only two stars, leaving them with fewer rations for the night.
Peter O’Mahony jokes ‘I’ll tidy up after you’ as wife reveals festive fireplace after ‘tiny bit of Christmas decorating’
JESSICA O’MAHONY revealed she had done a “teeeeeny bit of Christmas decorating” with a photo of her festive fireplace.
While there is over a month until Christmas, the wife of Ireland and Munster Rugby titan Peter O’Mahony is wasting no time.
On Monday, she shared a photo of her fully decorated fireplace to Instagram, with garland and candles from Flanagan & Harhen.
The fireplace also boasts statuettes of the Three Wise Men, which she revealed she got from Nordic Elements.
The mother-of-three said: “Just did a teeeeeny bit of Christmas decorating. Will do the rest in two weeks time when I get a real tree”.
Peter O’Mahony had followers in stitches at his reaction, as he commented: “Don’t worry I’ll just tidy up behind you”.
Aside from that cheeky bit of trolling, many fans were blown away by the festive set-up.
One said: “Beautiful candles” while a second hailed: “Adorable and so nice for the kids”.
A third posted: “Beautiful. l am admiring your basket beside the fire , log basket. Would you mind sharing where you got it. Thanks”
Harriet Beirne – wife of Peter O’Mahony’s teammate Tadhg – said: “Ah here will I refer back to our chat last week when I said I wanted to decorate?”
Jessica responded: “I just did a sniff”
Christmas may be over a month away, but the winter chill has well and truly taken hold, including in the O’Mahony’s home county of Cork.
Met Eireann has issued a new status orange snow and ice warning for five counties as temperatures drop to -4C overnight.
Extremely low temperatures of -4C and dangerous icy conditions are set to grip Ireland for the rest of this week, with a warning of another cold day ahead and with “hard frost and plenty of ice” to continue.
There is also set to be a “significant risk of rain and sleet turning to snow” later today.
A status orange snow and ice warning has been issued for Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford.
Significant snowfall accumulations are expected under this new warning.
Those living or travelling within these counties are being warned of very difficult travelling conditions and disruption, poor visibility, disruption and delays to public transport, difficult conditions underfoot and animal welfare issues.
The warning is set to be put in place from midnight on Thursday until midday.
Met Eireann describes a status orange warning as “infrequent and dangerous weather conditions which may pose a threat to life and property.”

Two Metropolitan Police officers are under criminal investigation for potential driving offences after a heavily pregnant woman and her baby died following a collision with an unmarked police car in south-east London in October, the Independent Office for Police Conduct said.
IOPC regional director Mel Palmer said: “The deaths of the woman and her baby are tragic, and our thoughts remain with her family and friends, and all of those affected.
“We have met with the woman’s family to explain our role and we will provide them with regular updates as our investigation progresses. The woman’s family have asked that their privacy is respected at this time.
“This was a devastating incident on a busy road and our investigators are working hard to establish all of the circumstances leading up to the collision and the actions of the officers involved.
“At the end of our investigation we will decide whether to refer a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider possible criminal charges and also decide whether any officers should face disciplinary proceedings.”
