A Nebraska resident was frightened by a “banana” hanging on a pine tree.

In Nebraska, emergency personnel and bomb disposal experts determined that a suspicious "banana" hanging from a pine tree was simply a harmless hiding place.

Lincoln Journal Star reports that the handyman noticed a device wrapped in yellow tape and hanging on a wire on a tree. Suspecting something was wrong, he called the rescue service.

Police, firefighters and bomb disposal experts determined that the banana was not a bomb. He turned out to be just a prize in a tourist game, the essence of which is to find hiding places that other participants hid.
