<font color='#810541'>We found this drifting off the coast of Bermuda while out on a dive trip.

I have investigated the object and am in the process of returning it to the owners but thought you might like to take a guess as to what it is (or not??). We had fun trying to figure it out.

Answer will be posted next week.

It doesn't look like anything that should be in the water to me - looks more like an industrial chimney

Hmmm... it's the Nautilus from Stoney, isn't it?

<font color='#810541'>yeah it is scientific and it does collect data but data from what.... ??

now it gets boring.... doh! I was looking forward to more "whale suppository" type guesses

I think it looks more like a whale dildo!

Tilt head to left...it does have quite a phallic shape to it

Is it one of the weather beacons. Used to measure sea state, wind speed etc..

If it is, then it was probably trashed by the latest Hurricane that went through the East Coast USA.

<font color='#810541'>No, it's not for that either.

OK

is the clue in the question? Were you in the Triangle? Is it from the future? Or is it an escapee from a theme Park Ride?

<font color='#810541'>Yes!!! it is from the year 3056 where men don't exist anymore, the sea levels have risen over the land, and all the women ride around in the ocean on big orange willies!

When you have read Charles Bearlitz as much as me its easy.

Dive Safe, whatever Century you are doing it in.

PS Is it not also like an early Atlantis Gondola as well?

It looks like a mid ocean auto weather bouy.

<font color='#0000FF'>I'd say it's some seismic measure thing. Either the gun or the data collector.

Worth a shot. Do I win a ride in (not ON as Lisa suggested) it if I'm correct?

You mean an air gun for seismic measurements, but it doesn't look like one that I have ever seen before.

is oit anything to do with smugling drugs? i see a programme once were they towed things like this under the water filled with drugs. If the coastgaurd tried to pull them over they would cut the tow line and the object would just sink to the bottom getting rid of the evidance?

The problem with that idea is that it appears to be floating..
