Oh July 9th, 2015 a group of lucky divers happened upon something truly remarkable–A 4-meter-wide clear sphere floating off the coast of a small town in Turkey. The sphere was 22 meters below the sea surface, and even up close, it appears almost invisible. But what exactly is it?

It’s a very large mass of eggs from the giant red flying squid. They are extremely delicate and disintegrate with exposure to the surf or air. Amazingly, that ball is produced by just one female squid.
