Only in Russia could a flood bring to your doorstep a huge intercontinental ballistic missile. Or at least that's what some Russian bloggers say, after a giant metal tube mysteriously appeared in an Altay village.

The discovery was made in the village of Malougrenyevo in Altai's Biysky region. The border region located in the south of Western Siberia is currently suffering from a serious flood.

The water brought the metal construction to the home of a local traffic policeman, leaving him and his neighbors puzzled over what exactly it was.

Speculation quickly arose over how toxic and dangerous the missile might be, especially after photos of the tube went viral on the Internet. The general consensus said it must be very dangerous and that the authorities are certain to cover up their blunder now.

The truth appears to be less exciting. A local government official told Sibnet.ru news website that there was nothing mysterious about the tube, which actual belong to a local resident.
