The first picture could be real, but that does not preclude the perspective from being way off.

If instead of an 8' jelly, far from the camera, think about a 4" jelly very close to the camera.

None of the jelly's threads actually pass underneath or behind the diver.
If the picture was to scale, you would be looking at a 30 + foot jelly. Sorry, don't believe it.

But a 6" - 2 foot jelly closer to the camera than the diver, yes, that would look exactly like that.

The Japanese call them Echizen Kurage and they can grow to a whopping 10+ feet diameter. Now, there might be a perspective issue with the first photo, but I think it is real. There probably are rare super giants of this species out there.


It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

If you take a picture of Elvis and Big Foot at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and then "Photoshop" out Elvis, does that suddenly make the original picture real?

Hell man, giant jellies are one thing, but you're just plumb messing with my mind now...
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
