Object Described To Be A UFO Spotted By A Diver Underwater; Old Timer Suggested It Is A Nuclear Bomb

A diver accidentally came across what he believes to be a lost nuke from the Cold War. The Canadian Navy will now investigate if the claims are true.
Sean Smyrichinsky, a diver, was almost done diving near Haida Gwaii, it is an archipelago located at the 80 km west of the Britsh Columbia coast. That is where Smyrichinsky came across the remains of what might be the world's broken arrow -- it is the code name that involves American nuclear weapon accidents.
According to CBC News, Sean said in an interview that, "I was just looking for fish for the next day. I figured I would do a little reconnaissance dive looking around and on my dive, I got pretty far from my boat,and then I found something that I had never, ever seen before."
Smyrichinsky described what he had seen as huge that measured, estimated to be 12 feet long. It looked like a bagel slice in half that has bolts on it. He then came out of the water so excited that he told his crew that he found a UFO. He also then drew an outline to describe the object to his crew.
He asked around describing what he had seen and came across an old timer and told him that what he had found could be a bomb. He was referring to the Mark IV, 10-foot blimp-shaped nuclear bomb weighing around five tons. The bomb went missing around the Pacific during the U.S. Air Force B-36 training flight way back Feb. 13, 1950.
Sean Smyrichinsky sent an e-mail describing the object to the Canada's National Defense. In reply, the National Defense said that it is looking at the matter with keen interest.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Armed Forces will deploy the navy ship in the coming weeks to investigate. A spokesperson from the Canadian Armed Forces said that the "Government records indicate that the lost bomb was a dummy and poses little risk of nuclear detonation," according to the Guardian.
