Still Waters Posted October 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2018 No one seems to know what exactly washed ashore on Seabrook Island this week, but it certainly has many guessing. The large cylindrical shaped discovery was featured in a Facebook post by Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network. "Look at this mysterious object that washed ashore in Seabrook Island today! What do you think it is?" the post read. https://abcnews4.com/news/local/a-ufo-a-satellite-mystery-washes-ashore-on-seabrook-island 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted October 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Can't tell if it's concrete or shaped foam around it. I think it's an underwater buoy. Probably broke up after a hurricane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted October 6, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted October 6, 2018 In another article it's described as: Quote It also looks like it’s made of concrete, but Marine Mammal network officials say that’s deceiving. Touch it and it feels like “a soft foam,” said the network, adding that it was quickly whisked away by town officials. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article219544575.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on the solution, but it begs the question - if it's so relatively easy for us forum users to figure out, why is this even a story? Even if that's not exactly what it is, it's obviously man-made. Edited October 8, 2018 by moonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that's not exactly what it is, it's obviously man-made. That's kind of a troubling question. It wasn't much of a mystery to begin with.

+Hammerclaw Posted October 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Looks kind of like a WW2 flotation device for a submarine net strung across the narrows somewhere, like they had at Pearl, or Scapa Flow. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Royal_Navy_Vessels_Maintain_the_Boom_Defence_at_Scapa_Flow%2C_Scotland%2C_May_1943_A16572.jpg Edited October 14, 2018 by Hammerclaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
