Nose Cone of an American Missile Found on the Beach
On Monday, November 13, the nose cone of an American-made missile was found at the far end of the beach Anse Maréchal, which is near the Guanahani Hotel & Spa at Grand Cul de Sac. The missile part is the property of the United States Navy and was manufactured by Lockheed Martin Missile & Space Company. Tests conducted by two bomb disposal experts from Martinique and an armed forces specialist for the Antilles revealed that there was nothing dangerous, explosive or radioactive. The missile was probably part of an underwater ballistic exercise, not an unusual event according to the authorities. France has asked the United States to recover the nose cone, which was first sighted by local fisherman on Sunday, November 12, floating in the water, nose down.
