Well, I'm predicting that it's a hoax (albeit a very elaborate one).  But assuming it's not...

Slime Mold.  Or some other prokaryotic cell mass.  Note that there's no indication of how large or small the objects or the pipe are.  It might just be a couple inches or something, which seems likely from the speed of movement of that remote camera.  Maybe a previously undiscovered prokaryote, but nothing too bizarre.

Maybe it isn't so much of an unkown life form as it could be unkown life forms, like a glob of different symbiotic bacteria. Or it could be a hoax. A video is hardly proof of anything these days.

It could be.

Look at the time counter. It's always 15:00?

Disregard that. My eyes are just not well-suited for lights.

It inspired me to start playing X-COM Apocalypse again.  Seriously.

I'm thinking its a hoax, if its a new life form theres a fair chance it would have been showcased and the thing it the who thing moves and flexes almost like a heart. A few people posting comments thought it might be a Bryozoan.

Typical.  Guy sees something he doesn't recognize, and thinks he's discovered some new life form.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

to me, it looks like a small colony of cells. and its reactions to light/wind/ voice / whatever made it contract are fairly normal in most kinds of life.

if it is all true, of course.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I was thinking Species myself, but the all-ages reference beats that in spades.

I'm inclined to believe it's a Bryozoan, after doing a bit of research on them. Youtube comments...being useful? Ohnoes!!

I say Slime Mold, and anything from Power Rangers is never a bad option.

That thing is beyond weird. Freaky-cool, but weird as heck.

I wonder what it'd look like if it was completely submerged? Also, I want one in my fish tank.
