Tsunami Mystery Egg

A big black float that was thought to be in the first wave of tsunami debris to be found on beaches in the U.S. has been identified as having come from Miyagi prefecture, one of the areas hardest hit by the March's earthquake and tsunami in Japan, according to Japanese newspaper The Mainichi Daily News.

Yuuki Watanabe, a senior official of a fisheries cooperative association in the Miyagi prefecture, examined a photograph of one of the floats that was found and confirmed it looks like those used in oyster cultivation in the Miyagi area,The Mainichi Daily News said.

Miyagi prefecture is in northeastern Japan and includes the hard-hit city of Sendai.

The location of where the float was found was not reported, however, such findings have been made in Neah Bay.

A single black float found during a beach cleanup east of Neah Bay more than two weeks ago was identified by Seattle oceanographers Curtis Ebbesmeyer and Jim Ingraham as being from the massive magnitude-9.0 earthquake and resultant tsunami in Japan on March 11, Ebbesmeyer said at a Peninsula College lecture Tuesday.

Judging by most of the comments its a bunch of ADHD kids that saw the title and the "egg" and posted stupid comments... watch the whole video this is a research device... kind of like how they put trackers on birds/sharks etc. They recover DATA about our world.

Cool video man I would be pretty excited to find something like that on the shore... but now I know that if I see a huge old cylinder drum I'm going to call the bomb squad and not go open it!

that sir is a bouie

That is a "floater" or "bouy" from a Japanese Fishing net. I was born and raised in Hawaii, literally 200 yards from the shoreline. We would come across these in many different shapes, sizes and colors. The old ones used to be made of glass, and the colored, odd shaped glass balls with water in them can sometimes be worth $ to collectors.
