Did somebody find a broken arrow? - robkelk - 11-04-2016
CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c ... -1.3835542]UFO? Lost Cold War nuclear weapon? Canada's navy to investigate object found off B.C. coast
They're thinking this might be what's left of the very first "broken arrow", which has (so far) never been found.

Quote:Neta also said records indicate the lost bomb was a dummy capsule,If the radiation sensors starts going active, it's not a dummy capsule then. So who has expertise in retrieval of said object?
and so there is little risk of the object being a nuclear weapon.

I think this is going to be the US Navy's job. They have salvage and rescue divers that are trained for this sort of operation, especially if there is any fissile materials in there.

Quote:...the wreck of the bomber was found accidentally in a remote location in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, three hours' flying time in the opposite direction of where it was supposed to have crashed.OK, I'm puzzled by that part of this story. It seems the plane's crew must have been really confused that night, if it kept flying for three hours after being abandoned in the opposite direction from where they thought it went down....
Or perhaps Mr. Serling can explain it to us. Rod?
