FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A mysterious, submarinelike vessel appeared off the
coast of Highland Beach just over a week ago, and its discovery has
officials and beachgoers wondering exactly what it is and how it got there.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed they investigated the object, but they don't
know what it is.
Mark Engelhardt, of Austin, Texas, was in town visiting his parents when he
discovered a 20-foot-long steel vessel shaped like a submarine beached
about 150 yards off the coast. The bright orange tail of the vessel caught
his eye from the beach, as it is clearly visible above the water from shore.
The vessel is sunk at a 45-degree angle. Engelhardt, 52, said he and other
beachgoers were curious about what it was, so on Oct. 26 he put on his
goggles and started swimming.
What he found shocked him.
"We thought it was a buoy or something that fell off a ship," he said. "But
it's definitely not that."
Here's how he described it: It's a cylindrical steel vessel that appears to
be welded together. Inside, there's a 6-cylinder engine and a battery.
Outside, there are two hatches that appear to allow someone to get in and
out.
The tail is painted bright orange, and the front is pointed. He estimates
it's about 3 1/2 feet in diameter.
"I come from Texas three times a year to see my parents, to catch some sun,
hang out by the pool and then this happens," he said.
With an underwater camera, Engelhardt snapped some shots and notified
authorities.
Coast Guard officials described it as an "obstructive" object in the water
and plan to investigate whether there are any signs of who built it, where
it came from or if it belongs to anyone.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera confirmed that
the Sheriff's Office checked out a submarinelike vessel in the water, but is
not investigating any further.
In the meantime, Coast Guard officials said they issued a warning to
mariners and put a light on the tail to alert boaters. They don't plan to
tow it, officials said.
Engelhardt said while he can't be entirely sure it's a submarine, he said
it's the spitting image of one.
He and his parents theorize it was used to smuggle drugs or other nefarious
objects ashore, but officials haven't confirmed that.
"What else could be in something like that?" Engelhardt said. "This is
crazy. This is like, whoa." | z**********e
