You could have kept that thought to yourself

None of you have obviously ever heard of a Shoggoth.

IF this is alien life, then why  hasn't it been on the news might i ask?

It's a collection of tubifex worms. Anyone who has bought and fed them to their pet fish would know. Basically, they need to cling onto something to survive (which usually is dirt) but in the sewers... not much dirt and soil. So they cling to each other. You can imagine that when one worm moves, the rest will move with it. That's what happens.

This is what Dr. Timothy S. Wood, an expert on freshwater bryozoa and an officer with the International Bryozoology Association had to say about them.

No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting.

EDIT: Beat by umiman!

Certain sci-fi players will twitch at the word "annelid", even though it's quite a normal thing.
