In January 2025, a routine meal preparation took an eerie turn for Nottingham resident Mrs. Zoe Blutter when she opened a can of tuna—only to be met with the staring black eyes of an unidentified creature lurking within.
The discovery, described as something out of a sci-fi horror, immediately ignited a firestorm online. Sensationalist headlines like ‘Mother Finds Alien Fetus Inside Tuna Can’ spread across social media, fueling speculation that extraterrestrial life had found its way into a household kitchen.
However, as the internet swirled with theories—ranging from government cover-ups to genetic mutations—scientific voices stepped in. According to Hany Elsheikha, a researcher at the University of Nottingham, the mysterious entity was likely a young, limbless crab that had somehow been processed along with the tuna.
While this explanation might seem mundane compared to theories of alien embryos and deep-sea mutations, it raises serious concerns about food safety and industrial processing standards. How did an entire crab—albeit deformed—slip through the production line and end up on a supermarket shelf?
For now, Mrs. Blutter’s disturbing discovery serves as a cautionary tale for consumers and a wake-up call for food manufacturers. Whether an alien fetus or an unfortunate crustacean, one thing is certain—this is one seafood surprise the world won’t forget anytime soon.
