80 feet long mysterious object found buried in the sand on the beach

A huge, mysterious object has been found on the Daytona Beach Shore in Volusia County, Florida, puzzling locals and officials.

The New York Times reported that the unidentified object, made of wood and possibly some metal, is about 80 feet (24.3 m) long, and was the first to be seen passing through the beach.

It is said that during high tide the water covered it, it could not be lowered with a rope.

County officials told the Times that the mysterious object was previously buried under sand but surfaced after Hurricane Nicole destroyed the beach in November.

The object began to rise out of the sand after Hurricanes Ian and Nicole ravaged Volusia County earlier this year, the captain said.

As experts try to figure out what it is, a lot of speculation and theories have cropped up on social media.

While many claimed that it was part of an ancient shipwreck, others felt that it was a fragment of an old pier.

Some have even speculated that this is part of the spectator seating that dates back to when NASCAR would hold a race at Daytona Beach.

Tamra Malphers, a spokeswoman for Volusia County Beach Safety, told the New York Times, 'It's a mystery.

Many people think it is an old ship of some kind. 

Tammy Malfers, deputy chief of Volusia Beach Safety, told CBS News affiliate WKMG that erosion at the beach has been "unprecedented."

She said, "We haven't seen erosion like this in a very long time, I've been on the beach probably 25 years and this is the first time I've come across this."

An underwater archeology team from the state of Florida has been notified and will review images from the scene.

Malfers said, "Sometimes, something pops up, and usually, you can tell what it is, you can't confirm it."

Significantly, the weather patterns induced by climate change have detected many unusual objects around the world this year.
