It's a giant gonad. One of a pair, I'd wager.

Sounds a lot like the Simpson's episode where they discover the 'angel' skeleton.

There are numbers on the surface, but no other clues."

Deep sea Bingo?

It's one of those pleasure orbs from "Sleeper".

Wow. I guess there are strange things we don't know about in the ocean...

Just a weather balloon that weighs several hundred pounds. Nothing to see folks. Move along.

Ose		2002-06-13 11:48:42 AM

I hate when articles like these don't have a picture. I want to see, damnit!

elrond		2002-06-13 11:48:45 AM

I was more interested in the woman puts hot baby in oven story....or was it baby in hot oven? Or hot woman is a baby in the oven?
I never can get these things straight.

Osman bin Laden claims responsiblity for "Orb of Terror." "Stupid Americans have no idea how deadly this, bomb or homing device thing is. Return it to me at once."

Hey, just feel lucky, had it been a green orb, we'd really be farked!

MagicBoris		2002-06-13 11:51:50 AM

There are numbers on the surface, but no other clues.

I told them this 10 000 sided dice thing was a bad idea. Did they listen? Nooooo.....

phix-it		2002-06-13 11:52:48 AM

Ok, I'm sick of this...

WHY ISN'T THERE A PICTURE OF THIS SUPPOSED MYSTERY ORB?

Claude Damage		2002-06-13 11:53:09 AM

"A bimb?"

batcar01		2002-06-13 11:53:10 AM

I wonder if it's one of those "pigs" that they run through oil pipelines...

jdemanon		2002-06-13 11:53:10 AM

how does a metal sphere weighing "several hundred pounds"
"float" to shore?

Furnace		2002-06-13 11:53:13 AM

Why did you think a bubble would stop him?

SHUT UP, THAT'S WHY!

Slives		2002-06-13 11:53:18 AM

Of course nobody seems to have caught.
"About 3 feet in diameter" so it is just a little bigger than an average person could wrap his arms around.
"weighs 'several hunderd pounds' " That would make it pretty dense.

I wonder how people even think this thing can float...

Are you talking about the Lok-Nar (spelling?) by any chance?

LordVger		2002-06-13 11:53:34 AM

I saw this on Johnny Quest... it's the Moai...

RepoMan		2002-06-13 11:53:58 AM

Watch out if two little blades pop out and it goes whizzing around funeral homes. Ugh. That comment has been stricken from the record.

spiritauthor		2002-06-13 11:54:02 AM

"Numbers" on surface are NCC 1701.

Earth numbers? or Alien Numbers

RepoMan		2002-06-13 11:55:45 AM

The same way a big metal boat does.

I can only maintain the facade for so long, Master_Mind, before my powers weaken.

Do I need to CAPITALIZE the b, is that it??

For some odd reason this came to mind.

Rosalea		2002-06-13 11:57:25 AM

okay I give up. Can't find actual pictures of this thing anywhere. Why couldn't the lady who found it have a vanity website?

Diogenes		2002-06-13 11:57:26 AM
