Some theories

- A large starfish rolls along the sea floor, leaving the dashed line

- A crab bouncing on its back, ricocheting with a current

- A fish with an IQ of 300 hoping that alien intelligence from above will locate it, left a mark in the mud, to liberate it

- The world was manufactured in a sowing factory.

- The world sustained an injury and had stiches

These are clearly holes left by creatures living deep within the Earth, beginning to investigate their cosmos. They have not yet found the surface, but that day is coming. Oh, yes. Someday they will arise. We should all prepare ourselves.

I like the idea of an animal probing the floor for scent/sound/EM fields for prey, but you'd think we would have a seen a lot more of it if that were the case.

The article didn't mention excavating the holes to see what was underneath... My guess is maybe it's a creature that lays eggs in sand.

The holes look to be in the middle of some kind of track, or drag mark. Which would indicate that they are made from the surface, I guess.

At the end of the video, they show a small portion of the holes where they dug a sample, and they said they're testing it with results pending.

It’s hard to tell. It’s a single angle so it’s kind of hard to tell what it could be. If they had multiple angles and some closer ups, we might be able to guess better. As it is it’s hard to tell if it’s something protruding with shadows or or the opposite like slits or holes in the surface.

There's two angles

It scares me how much of the oceans we still haven't explored and how much stuff there still is down there. I think more than 80% are unexplored so far..

Maybe a fish or crab hiding its eggs in the mud? At even distances whilst swimming/walking in some direction

(I don't think so :-) just a thought)

Sounds like they found Bikini Bottom.
