This is Species 02 in the Alien Botany series.  This species is known as "Species X".  Not much is known about these pods.  They began to appear in various warm climate locations shortly after a mysterious meteor shower. 

Details for Blender animators or enthusiasts:  Rendered at 1920x1080p resolution with Cycles GPU on a single RTX 2070 in Optix mode.  As a test of some geometry nodes, almost all geometry in the scene was created or modified with geometry nodes as instances, so the actual render times were relatively quick.  Each frame took between 10 - 30 seconds per frame, depending on the shot.  Rendering for the entire sequence was completed in about 6 hours.
