Interesting, I know nothing about it but maybe someone else does here. Also I hope the bomb squad was called to deal with it!
 
Does anybody have documents about French marine markers? They often appear on Spanish coast.

A few days ago, one fiberglass M.A. j/n F1A or similar without fins.
 
I was once called out to check out a similar item. Not the same. It was very light and when we contacted the S A Navy they explained that it was not a projectile as such. It was released by a sub-marine. Something to do with the Sonar.
