Radome

Another talking point while we were in Seattle was the mystery object in this picture, a giant dome on what appeared to be an ocean-going platform.


One story went that it was owned by Boeing and used for some sort of (presumably sensitive) research project. Another (which I obtained from "some guy" I met while taking this photograph) was that it was a kind of oil rig and that it had been seen on tv "scooting across the ocean".

I'm more inclined to believe the Boeing story, but that still leaves the question of just what is under that dome...

No. The main question is whether it will hatch on October 21st.

Henceforth to be known as the Day of Rawr!

What is that?

Here is a better picture of it and an early article. Radar Dome

It belongs to the U. S. Government and is such a 'secret' thing, that you could get killed, trying to get close to it. :)

Ah, X-Band radar. Well, of course, they would say that, wouldn't they?
