An underwater camera on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico captured an unidentified sea creature floating around it, Houston-based FeulFix.com reported Tuesday.

The blob-like creature was caught swimming around the camera located about 5,000 feet underwater. The strange visitor lingers for a moment in the frame before swimming off, but it later returns for another shot in front of the camera, the site reported.

Scientists suspect the creature, which resembles a floating, brown-colored ghost, is a rare jellyfish, according to Zeibiz.com. Called the deepstaria enigmatica, it can be identified by the hexagonal patterns on its skin. 

The deepstaria enigmatica is "thought to be one of the largest invertebrate predators in the deep sea ecosystem," according to the BBC. But it's long, "paddle-like" arms do not have stinging tentacles like other jellyfish.

It's also usually found in the Antarctic and not the Gulf of Mexico. The jellyfish has been seen a total of 114 times since it was discovered by scientists 110 years ago, researchers told the BBC.

This is not the first time oil rig cameras, used by offshore oil and gas companies, have caught deep-sea marine life rarely seen by human eyes.

A remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, from the underwater equipment company Oceaneering recorded an enormous shark swimming in the Gulf, FuelFix.com reported.
