An amazing, funny but serious story out of FL that I just had to transcribe and share:
A Florida man claims to have been kidnapped by dolphins and forced to build an underwater city. The man was found early Monday morning on the side of a beach in Lee county soaking wet, dehydrated, and confused. When deputies arrived, he was drawing detailed diagrams in the sand.
According to the man, a pod of dolphins took him while he was swimming and brought him to a place about 40 feet under the surface. He said they forced him to help them build underwater structures. He told deputies the dolphins communicated with him using clicks. He said the group had a leader named Gerald who somehow helped him breathe under water, possibly by creating an air space.
The man spent 3 days working on what he described as cities, towns, and condo-like structures. When the dolphins were satisfied with his work, they sent him back to the surface and told him they would return for Phase 2.
Medical staff treated him for dehydration but found no signs of head injury or mental confusion. Tests show sea water and marine particles in his lungs, suggesting he had been deep underwater for a long time without typical lung damage. This was unusual and raised questions for doctors.
The man holds a master’s degree in aerospace engineering and has experience with deep sea technology, which he says is why the dolphins chose him.
Some people think the story is false, but the physical evidence has made others curious.
