Default Lost Nuke May Have Been Found

According to CNN, the USAF and DOE are investigating the reported find of
the notorious Tybee Island Mk 15 that had been jettisoned by a B-47 after
its collision with a F-86 in 1958. A retired USAF LTC led the group that has
found what is described as a large metallic object with radioactive
emissons. More accurately, what was lost was the bomb casing--the "pit" had
not been installed in the weapon when it was dumped into the ocean.
