Media captionUS Coast Guard helicopter removes Trident missile nose cap from the beach in the Bahamas.
In late October 2016, the residents of the tiny Bahamas island of Man-O-War Cay found a mysterious object had washed up on their beach.
Taller than a person, conical in shape with a large spike at the end, it looked unmistakably like some sort of missile.
"People were curious of course, the kids were excited to see something so large on the beach," local resident Mailin Sands told the BBC.
It had washed up right in front of the holiday home of Prof Janine Maddock, who was back in the US at the time and spied it from a CCTV camera at the top of her house.
