Mystery Eyeball Tentatively Identified

Posted: Updated:

State experts in Florida say a giant eyeball that washed up on a Florida beach last week likely came from a swordfish.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission based their conclusion on the eyeball's color, size and structure, along with the presence of bone around it.

Genetic testing will be done to confirm the theory.

The softball–sized eyeball turned up Wednesday.

The discovery and photos created a buzz on the Internet.
