Ol' Blue Eye: Mystery as giant peeper washes up on beach

I've got my eye on you ... the mysterious eyeball has baffled experts

Published: 12th October 2012

SCIENTISTS have been left scratching their heads after a giant eye washed up on a Florida beach.

The fleshy flotsam is the size of a large orange and was oozing blood when a member of the public plucked it off Pompano Beach, just north of Miami.

Gino Covacci said: "It was very, very fresh. It was still bleeding when I put it in the plastic bag."

Gino sent the eyeball to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute to be tested.

Experts there have studied the mysterious peeper - but are no closer to figuring out what kind of creature it came from.

Prime suspects ... scientists say the most likely owners are a swordfish or a giant squid

​

​

A spokesman said: "Right now it sounds like a large fish is the leading candidate."

After he was shown pictures of the eye, Nova Southeastern University's Oceanographic Center professor Charles Messing claimed the "most likely candidate was a swordfish".

But the professor admitted it could also belong to a giant squid.

looks like hoax.

eyeballs are favourite body part of many sea creatures, fishes, turtles etc. Lots of carcasses found in sea would be without eyeballs.

surprised it survived unscathed.more like someone brought it to the beach.

With this kinda size of eye ball we can imagine how big this bugger is.

 

[DelphiGOD]

The eye is still intact so it will not be difficult to do a dna analysis to match with existing species of fishes the scientists know of.
Oh My, it's huge isn't it?
