A man who was recently rescued by Coast Guard officials wants his bubble back.

42-year-old Reza Baluchi is reportedly upset it wasn't pulled from the water.

That so-called bubble is actually a Hydro Pod or circular vessel that looks like a child’s inflatable seen in many backyards.

Coast Guard members pulled Baluchi out of the water on Saturday following reports from boaters regarding a disoriented male.

The bubble allowed Baluchi to float and run on water, similar to how a hamster moves on a wheel.

Baluchi was reportedly told a fisherman would pull his Hydro Pod to shore at the time of the rescue. However he was later informed that wasn’t possible.

The bubble was left drifting along the ocean's surface. Baluchi’s phone, passport, green card and his shoes were left inside of it.

The value of the cylinder is said to be about 45 hundred dollars.

He had been in the midst of a roughly 1,000 mile sea journey to outline the Bermuda Triangle when the Coast Guard intervened. Officials believed he was in danger, as Baluchi didn’t enough supplies to live in his bubble for the time it would have taken him to complete his journey.
