So glad I saw your comment first.

Also the Mighty Morphin’ communicator beep is my phone message sound.

as opposed to an ‘identified mystery object’, lol
I was truly baffeld how easily it was to identify. Martha, look at this easily identifiable object
Dear landlubbers: it’s very obviously a buoy.
