There’s some freaky s\*\*\* (perhaps literally!) living in the depths beneath us! Here’s a video feed from a snake-cam that was sent down into the sewers beneath a North Carolina town. [Video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcKpx2DxGwY). Yee-ikes!! But the video does come with this dubious caption: > [@](#): > > An unknown lifeform picked up by sewer snakecam in North Carolina. Believed to be of ET origin. > > UPDATE: Due to overwhelming demand, we will be issuing an official statement regarding the video soon on [uforadar.com](http://uforadar.com). ---

News explanation of [what it is](http://www.news14.com/content/local_news/triangle/611427/raleigh--sewer-creature--surprises-city-officials/Default.aspx). Still look like giant autonomous cancer to me. ---
