Locals and officials are baffled by the discovery of a huge, enigmatic item on Daytona Beach Shores in Volusia County, Florida. According to the New York Times, the unidentified object, which is made mostly of wood but may also contain some metal, is about 80 feet (24.3 meters) long and was first spotted by beachgoers passing by. It could not be roped off because water covers it during high tide.
According to county officials, the enigmatic object was previously hidden beneath the sand but came to light when Hurricane Nicole devastated the beach in November. After Hurricanes Ian and Nicole tore through Volusia County earlier this year, the object started sticking out of the sand, according to Kevin A. Captain, a spokesman for the county.
Numerous rumors and theories have surfaced on social media as experts work to identify what it is. While many claimed it was a piece of an old shipwreck, others believe it to be a fragment of a former pier. Others have conjectured that it may be a section of spectator seating from the days when NASCAR held its races at Daytona Beach.
A Florida-based underwater archaeological team has been informed and will examine the scene’s photos.
This year, a number of strange objects have been found all over the world as a result of extreme weather patterns brought on by climate change.
