According to An Hai Border Guard Station, on the morning of December 18, while fishing, fisherman Tran Minh Thanh (40 years old, in Phuoc Dong village, An Hai commune, Tuy An district, Phu Yen) discovered a strange object in his net, with Chinese characters on it. The location where the strange object was discovered was about 4 nautical miles from the shore.

Mr. Thanh brought the strange object to the Mai Nha prison area, more than 1.2 nautical miles from the coast of Phuoc Dong, then anchored the strange object to prevent it from drifting away and reported the incident to the authorities.
