What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA metal cylinder came ashore on a Florida beach, and the fire department's hazardous materials team had to retrieve it, UPI reports.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA hazmat team. For a beach find. That is a very serious lost-and-found desk.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt came ashore in nor'easter conditions in Flagler County, and the state environmental agency is now examining it to work out where it came from.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it has not been identified. I'd call that a cylinder in its pre-announcement phase.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMeanwhile, a tree-covered island in a British Columbia reservoir vanished from satellite images by early August. It turned up again in September, eighteen miles away.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEighteen miles?

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorExperts say it's driftwood that piled up over years until plants took root. So it was a raft, and then it left.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAn island that leaves in August and returns in September is not lost, it's on a summer schedule.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSpace balls identified, island found, and the cylinder is still declining to comment.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe island has moved eighteen miles and been found. The cylinder is still waiting for a name tag from the state.
