A 'spy blimp' found in an Armenian village of Nor Amasia, next to the Turkish border has turned out to be a child’s toy rigged with cameras.
According to media reports, the device was a balloon rigged with video cameras. Locals on camera dutifully expressed their suspicion that the balloon could have been launched from Turkish territory and was being used for surveillance of the tiny impoverished border village of less than a thousand souls, RIA Novosti reported.
"The discovery has been handed to the National Security Service. It turned out that it is just a common children's toy with a remote control which can be found in Yerevan's shops. It poses no danger," the Armenian Security Service press release says.
