TL;DR Summary

Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration team captured video footage of a see-through glass squid with red eyes in the deep waters off the coast of Alaska. The encounter took place during NOAA's Seascape Alaska 3 expedition, which aimed to map unexplored areas of the deep sea. The video shows the squid descending through the water with its mantle pointing downward and its small arms forming a hat-like mass above its eyes. The squid's internal organs, including its digestive gland and gills, are visible in the footage. Glass squids are known for their translucent skin, and this particular species can grow up to 26 inches long.
