A guy was astounded when he discovered what he initially believed to be an extraterrestrial species on a chilly beach, but it turned out to be a marine creature.

The creature drew Mike Arnott's attention when he was strolling along Portobello Beach in Edinburgh at the age of 33.

While the tide was out, he discovered the odd green, luminous item on the sand.

Before realizing it was alive, the engineer assumed it was a pinecone covered in moss.

Because he didn't know what the bright green, spiky thing was, he admitted that the thought of it being an alien "did enter his mind."

"I observed this neon green object with strange needles; I had no clue what it was," remarked Mike.

"The vivid green and gold colors immediately drew my attention to it."

I turned it over and discovered it had several little legs; it was unlike anything I had ever seen.

"It definitely crossed my mind that it was an alien, or that it may be something from out in the deep water."

The Scottish Wildlife Trust's Pete Haskell volunteered his knowledge to assist in identifying the strange-looking animal.

He claimed that it was a washed-up "sea mouse," which is actually a kind of worm.

It may seem odd to be out of the water, but Pete explained that it is a particular kind of marine bristle worm that can be found all around the UK coast.

The less well-known mammal is unlike any other marine animal due to its iridescent bristles, which shimmer and shimmer in green and gold.

The segmented worm, which may reach a length of 30 cm, eats tiny crabs, hermit crabs, and other worms.

They have bristles covering them that may flash green, blue, or red in order to scare off predators.
