(CNN) — A glass bottle containing a message from 1984 has washed up in Hawaii and been discovered by a 9-year-old girl -- 37 years after high school students in Japan dropped it into the ocean as part of an experiment.
The message in a bottle, titled "Ocean current investigation," was written by the students and placed in the Kuroshio Current near Miyakejima Island, western Japan, as part of a school project into ocean currents.
The letter sealed inside, dated July 1984, asked whoever found the bottle to return it to the school, Choshi High School.
