In a surprising turn of events, a police department in Washington state recently found themselves dealing with an unusual call that led to a fascinating discovery. The Bellevue Police received a phone call from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, informing them of a man who had inquired about donating his neighbor's rocket. Intrigued, officers wasted no time in investigating the matter.
Upon arriving at the scene, members of the bomb squad quickly identified the object in question as a Douglas AIR-2 Genie rocket. This unguided air-to-air missile, once used during the Cold War, was designed for intercepting Soviet strategic bombers. With its historical significance, the missile certainly caught the attention of both law enforcement and military enthusiasts.
