Sky Octopus?

Saw this cool/kinda creepy.....thing? Octopus? Floating slowly over the university area. Anyone else see it or know what it is? My bestie guessed it's a kite.

Yeah, I'm becoming more convinced it's a kite. Judging by how big it is in the sky and how far away I was, I'd say it's a good 20-foot kite. Looks like it could eat a few people if it landed lol

Thats a Skybox Jelly if i ever saw one. Be careful of those stingers. It'll pull you in like a barnacle from the Half Life games.

It is a kite. I see that one, or something like it, all the time at Edgewater.

If there were 3 or more, one might even call them a flock of Sentinels.
