Was that a mockumentary? I think I watched it… If I recall correctly, there were two probes, Ike and Leo, that visited an alien planet to collect data, and they met creatures that were walking forests, purple spine-shooting cacti and birds that fly by methane jet propulsion and skewer their prey in flight.

Anyway, the intelligent creatures met the last surviving probe, but when it tried to launch one of it’s scanning discs it took it as a threat and knocked it to the ground.

Anyway, if you know those plastic-bubble blowing things, where you put a dot of plastic-rubber on a small plastic straw and blow (say you use the color purple) and purposely mess up and have the balloons mash together symmetrically, that’s exactly what they looked like. (You know, how when the bubbles clump they get veiny and darker purple)

To those who have no idea what I was talking about, they were basically floating purple transparent gas-bags with tentacles, about the size of an elephant.

Yeah that show was about 4 years ago.
