A boater searching for dolphins finds a torpedo floating off the Southern California coast.
Sean Sheehan has seen a lot of unusual sights on his boat excursions off the Southern California coast.
Sheehan and his girlfriend were looking for dolphins after seeing a pod in the same area over the weekend. He found more dolphins after taking his 16-foot ski boat out again Monday, but also noticed something that, from a distance, looked like a lost surfboard. The Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed Sheehan's suspicions, identifying the object as a lightweight Navy exercise torpedo. Sheehan, who had entered the waters in search of dolphins, snapped photos of the torpedo before authorities arrived to remove it from the water.
