She said the next day, one of the villagers, Mr Sylvester Manika discovered an unidentified object in the bush and alerted other villagers. The matter was reported to Battlefields Police Station.
"Police attended the scene and noted that the unidentified object, which resembles a rocket and is made of metal and aluminium material, is three metres long and has a diameter of 1,8 metres," said Snr Asst Comm Charamba.
"Police also discovered that the bolts used to fasten the objects are inscribed NAS 13004-41CS."
Army engineers also attended the scene.
