An eerie video has left the internet convinced mermaids exist after a human-like figure was spotted in the water.
The moment was captured by a group of fishermen and happened off the coast of the city of Aguadilla in Puerto Rico on Monday (June 19)
In the clip, a small area of the sea is seen glowing in the dark, giving hues of blue and green lights.
As they zoom closer to the water, a mysterious human-looking figure breaches the water for a brief second.
While the waves are hitting against the fishing boat, the slender, elongated shadow moves towards the right of the camera frame.
The movement looks like a person walking.
A person speculated: “Seems like a mermaid or a siren. They make that blue circle light under water.”
A second pointed out: “Did anyone see the ‘eyes’ glow when it turned and looked at them?”
It’s not the first time strange things have been spotted in the ocean. In 2020, a pod of “glowing dolphins” were seen swimming off the Californian coast in US.
The marine animals swam in bioluminescent waves, which made them glow in the dark in a spectacular hues of blue.
Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction within living organisms, like marine algae and fireflies, that makes them look like they’re glowing blue.
