A mysterious blue-eyed, large-eyed eyeball, picked up by a fisherman on the Pompana coast, is being examined by Florida wildlife officers.

Although no official test results are available, there have been many speculations around the origin of this eyeball.

Some people believe that the eyeball belongs to the squid species, living in the deep sea floor. According to them, the shape and characteristics of the eyeball are like giant squid. According to Heather Bracken - Grissom, a marine scientist, at Florida International University, squid eyes will be easy to pop out during dissection.

However, according to scientific experts speculate, the mysterious eyeballs belong to a giant swordfish. Because ink eyes are not blue but black. Moreover, the iris is not completely open but still very round. It may have originated from a vertebrate animal, said Trevor Wardill, a researcher at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

According to Eric Warrant, a scientist at Lund University in Sweden, who has done a lot of research on swordfish, predicting, if the eyeball is not fake, it almost certainly belongs to a swordfish. . But the problem is, why do swordfish drift into Florida beaches.

The same view with Eric, biologist Sönke Johnsen of Duke University. Johnsen, also guessed that the eyeball belongs to a large vertebrate, possibly of a swordfish or a flagfish. These species may have large eyes because most eyes are in the head, so it is difficult for people to recognize.

So far, the official information about the above eyeball has not been determined.
