Fisherman pulls this up, but now the navy is demanding he give it back
A fisherman from Croatia had an adventure that sounds like the plot of a movie when he ended up having a showdown with another ship. This wasn’t just any ship, however, He was facing down a Navy vessel.
A fisherman from Croatia, Darko Bigava, pulled a strange object from the ocean floor when fishing in the Elaphiti Islands which lie off the southern coast of Croatia. When he pulled up his net he found a large orange box with metal fixtures at either end.
The strange box that he had found was quite large. It was about 1.3 m in every direction and it weighed more than 220lbs (or around 100kg). Attached to this big orange cube was a smaller box measuring about 15 inches square.
Bigava had no idea what this strange object as that he had accidentally found at a depth of about 500 feet while fishing near the island of Mljet. He posted photos of this find on social media to find out what it was. It wasn’t long before his phone rang. When he answered it was none other than the US Navy itself.
Bigava initially tried to identify the object purely because he hoped to find the owner and claim $3,000 to cover the damage caused to his nets by the object. The only clues he had to go on were a buoy attached to the cube and a DHL shipping label on the side of the box.
