What is the strange object shown in the Sept. 7, 1983 edition of the Star? Turns out it was the remains of a weather transmitting device, being held by Jerry Bunz of Rocanville, Sk. The device, which came from Colorado, was found near the end of August by Avon Klink and Darrel Neilson about nine miles west of Bashaw. Klink would eventually mail the device back to the U.S. for a reward. Star photo
