Vanguard reports that the object that was about the size of a 2,000-litre water tank has an inscription that says "whoever finds it should call the numbers attached, this is not dangerous, and it is a scientific experiment."The object also has an antenna, four aerial wires, and a transmitter that looks like a satellite transmission mechanism. Vanguard further reports that the sleepy village was to turned to a Mecca by the news of the strange object as crowd estimated at about 10,000 trooped there to catch a glimpse of the object.
