DEPOE BAY, Ore. — A beach walker came across a cylinder on a Depoe Bay beach Wednesday that was labeled to “call police or military.”

KPTV reports the object was a marine flare that is usually dropped from planes or helicopters to mark a location at sea.

Because potentially hazardous chemicals may have remained inside, authorities moved it to a remote area of Gleneden Beach and blew it up.
