A colossal yellow rubber duck, towering over the waves at 25 feet tall, has mysteriously appeared off the coast of Maine, leaving residents and authorities scratching their heads.
The inflatable behemoth, spotted bobbing serenely in the waters near Belfast Harbor, has become the talk of the town and beyond. The massive duck, emblazoned with the word “JOY” across its chest, seems to have floated in overnight, and no one can quite figure out where it came from—or why it’s there.
The Discovery
Local fisherman Tom Wiggins was the first to spot the unusual visitor early Monday morning. “I’ve seen a lot of things out here, but a giant rubber duck? That’s a new one,” Wiggins said. “At first, I thought I was seeing things, but sure enough, there it was, just bobbing along like it belonged there.”
As word spread, curious onlookers flocked to the harbor, eager to catch a glimpse of the duck. Some even ventured out in boats to get a closer look, snapping photos and videos that quickly went viral on social media.
A Puzzling Phenomenon
Authorities have been left puzzled by the sudden appearance of the duck. The Coast Guard conducted a brief investigation but found no signs of tampering or foul play. “It’s definitely strange, but it doesn’t seem to pose any danger,” said a Coast Guard spokesperson. “We’re treating it as an odd but harmless curiosity for now.”
Speculation about the duck’s origins has run wild. Some believe it’s part of an art installation or a publicity stunt, while others think it might be a prank or even the result of a misguided charity event. However, so far, no one has come forward to claim responsibility for the enormous inflatable.
The Internet Reacts
As expected, the internet has had a field day with the giant rubber duck, with memes and hashtags spreading like wildfire. #MaineDuck and #JoyfulMystery have been trending on Twitter, with users sharing their theories and jokes about the unexpected visitor.
“I guess you could say it’s a quacking mystery,” one user joked, while another suggested, “Maybe it’s just here to spread a little joy.”
What’s Next?
For now, the giant rubber duck remains anchored off the coast, a strange and cheerful sentinel on the waters. Whether it will be retrieved, float away, or simply deflate remains to be seen. In the meantime, it has become a beloved local attraction, bringing a little bit of whimsy to the Maine coast.
