The blue eyeball which was the size of a softball is believed to have belonged to a swordfish or marlin says Duke University Professor, Sönke Johnsen. Much early speculation ranged from guessed that the eyeball may have belonged to a whale or a giant squid.

The big blue eyeball was found by Gino Covacci on Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale Florida, on Wednesday.

Do you think that the eyeball in this video closely matches what washed up on shore Wednesday?
