Strange image spotted off the coast of Lapta, north Cyprus

The strange image was spotted by Turkish Cypriot researcher and writer Mete Hatay who shared the image on social media.

Hatay who said she could not understand what she saw in the depths of the sea this morning said; “Friends, this image was taken this morning on the Vasilya-Lapta Walking Path. Does anyone know what it is? It looks like a huge refinery in the middle of the sea. Turkish coast? So it's strange that the mountains are not visible!” 

TRNC Minister of Transport and Public Works, Erhan Arıklı who responded in the comment section said;  “It's really weird. “It doesn't look like a ship either.” 

There were also claims in the comments that the unknown object is a container ship.
