"Uncovered: Cold War-Era Nuclear Missile Found in Washington Garage"

An inactive Cold War-era Douglas AIR-2 Genie rocket, once capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, was found in the garage of a deceased homeowner in Washington. The discovery prompted a visit from a local police bomb squad, who confirmed the missile was inert and not a danger. The missile, purchased at an estate sale, was identified as a historical artifact and left with a neighbor for restoration and display at a museum. The rare relic, dating back to the 1950s, was a surprising find for the Bellevue police department, who shared a picture of the rocket on social media.
