A Strange Object Reported by Fishermen
Local fishermen were the first to notice it—a massive, perfectly round metallic sphere floating more than ten miles from shore. At first glance, it resembled an oversized buoy, but its scale and smooth surface made it unsettling. After multiple calls poured in, all describing the same eerie object, the Coast Guard realized this was not something they could ignore.

The Coast Guard Responds
Captain Arnold Wilkins assembled a six-person team and headed out to sea, accompanied by his first mate, Lieutenant Angela Davies. The mission briefing was simple: identify the object and determine whether it posed a danger. Still, no amount of preparation could have readied them for what awaited beyond the horizon.

A Perfect Sphere on Open Water
After nearly an hour of scanning the waves, sunlight flashed off metal in the distance. As the boat approached, the crew fell silent. The object was enormous—a flawless metallic orb bobbing gently on the water. It had no markings, no ropes, no visible seams, only faint rust patches and two strange red marks.

Too Heavy to Be Floating
When the crew tried to pull the sphere closer with ropes, it barely moved. Despite floating freely, it was impossibly heavy. Captain Wilkins suspected something beneath the surface and ordered a dive to investigate what was really holding the object in place.

A Sunken Ship Below
Lieutenant Angela Davies descended beneath the waves and quickly realized the truth. Directly below the sphere lay the wreck of a container ship, half-buried in sand. Twisted railings and a broken hull told a story of disaster. The sphere was not anchored—it was hovering above the wreck for a reason.

A Message from the Past
Inside the ship’s damaged cabin, Angela discovered a handwritten note etched onto a panel. It explained everything. The writer, Benjamin Johnson, had escaped the sinking ship using a pod and hoped rescuers would find him above the wreck. The “buoy” was not a marker—it was an escape pod.

Opening the Sphere
Back on the surface, the crew struggled to open the sealed orb—until Angela used a remote recovered from the wreck. With a hiss and a splitting seam, the sphere opened. Inside was a weak but living man, sealed inside the pod all this time.

A Life Saved Against All Odds
Benjamin Johnson emerged exhausted but alive. Wrapped in blankets and given warm soup, he looked around in disbelief, realizing he had been found. What began as a strange report from fishermen ended as a rescue no one thought possible—a reminder that the sea still hides stories waiting to surface.
