BRISBANE, Australia — In a discovery that sounds straight out of a Jules Verne novel, underwater explorers from the Oceanic Research Institute claim they have captured the first-ever footage of an indigenous tribe known colloquially as the "Sea People."
The footage, which was accidentally recorded during a routine deep-sea exploration off the coast of Papua New Guinea, shows what appear to be human figures navigating the underwater environment with an elegance that rivals that of the local marine life.
"We initially thought our equipment was malfunctioning or we were hallucinating from too much time underwater," said Dr. Amelia Tidesworth, lead marine biologist on the expedition. "But there they were, a whole community thriving beneath the waves."
The Sea People, as they have been dubbed, appear to have developed sophisticated methods to capture air. The footage reveals them using a combination of air-trapping flora and ingeniously constructed air pockets within coral structures that look suspiciously like they've been designed by someone who's read 'The Martian' one too many times.
