The Underwater UFOs

Rare and beautiful shots of alien-looking moon jellyfish have been captured by an Israeli photographer in the Red Sea.

Photographer Yuzuru Masuda, 37, captured these stunning images of the moon jellyfish as he snorkelled during an excursion off the coast of Saudi Arabia. 
Masuda watched and swam with the jellyfish for two hours and because they don't sting he could let them swim right up to him and even brush against his arm.
