Authorities have located a shipment containing trace amounts of radioactive material, debunking a theory that it was connected to the recent mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey.
A shipment containing trace amounts of radioactive material has been located. A theory that missing radioactive material could be linked to the string of mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey has been disproven, according to officials. The link between the alleged drone sightings and radioactive material stemmed from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issuing an alert on Dec. 5 that stated a piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans had been 'lost in transit' three days prior.
The mayor of Belleville, New Jersey, Michael Melham further stoked these theories during an appearance on Fox TV's 'Good Day New York' on Tuesday, saying, of the drone sightings, 'What might they be looking for? Maybe that's radioactive material.' 'It was a shipment. It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged, and it was empty,' Melham said. The shipping container in question departed from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield, New Jersey, and contained an Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-0132 device that arrived at its destination 'damaged and empty,' according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's original notice. The device contains trace amounts of the radioactive isotope Germanium-68, which is used as a radiation source for one of the cancer center's CAT scan machines. James Dalzell, M.D., at the Nazha Cancer Center, told ABC News on Tuesday that the missing material has been found and has been disposed of properly. Dalzell said the equipment was shipped via Fed-Ex, which temporarily misplaced the item. It was later found and delivered to the manufacturer. Dalzell explained that the material was depleted ahead of its transport to the disposal facility
