I heard a radio interview with the fellow who reported it. He was taking a shortcut to the Beer Store and was cutting through someone's back yard. (I guess in that town, that sort of trespass is perfectly acceptable.)

Seems he's worked on range clearances as an iron worker. At least one of his jobs was in the Lac La Biche ranges (I think he meant Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range, but close enough for veracity.) One of the things every worker has to endure is 3 hours of the "most boring videos", and he instantly recognized what it was. He called 911 and waited for the patrol car to arrive. The cop arrived and gave him a hard time, until gentleman pointed to the front wheel of the car, and said "That one." Car got moved! The cop called it in with pictures. Ten minutes later another officious cop frantically orders them not to touch it. Umm, err, sez the gent, 'we knew that'. Ten hours later EOD arrives and it gets taken away. A pure slice of Canadian working man's language and story telling.
