Unknown life form found in NC sewer?

This video surfaced on Youtube, so local news stations did an investigation and came up with this conclusion:

[Quote]They're a colony of tubifex worms," said Senior Project Engineer Mark Senior. "We've seen them before in sewer systems."
Senior said the video was shot "a couple of months ago" by a private contractor -- Malphrus Construction -- inspecting a private 6-inch sewer line that flushes into the city sewer system.
Since the video was posted on YouTube, and reposted around the world, his office has been fielding dozens of phone calls and e-mails.
The video is misleading, Senior said, because it was taken in a 6-inch sewer line.
"The objects are only about 1/2 inch across," he said, "They look bigger in the video."[/Quote]

There are some reports saying its a cover up, but its still pretty creepy, eh?

Thoughts?
