It's fair to assume that question was on the minds of many people who traveled along Colo. 128 south of Boulder this week if they happened to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a large, silver projectile perched alongside the highway and pointed north toward town.

No, it’s some sort of sensor.

Probably a ground radar for sighting vehicles and they are using traffic to practice


I would guess it's simply a precision guided shell, similar to the existing Excalibur program -

Could it be testing automatic target recognition using the passing cars?

Nothing to worry about. It’s just ACME Corporation making another delivery to one of their best customers, Wile E. Coyote.

Feds are probably training ISIS and other terrorists to attack targets in the US (airlines) and blame the attack on the TP.

Maybe. I’d have to see what else it out there -— e.g., an active radar or microwave source.

I’d also want to know which way was “front” — nose or side.

It just looks an awful lot like things I’ve seen on ground vehicles used to target tanks and the like.

It's the number one comedy on TV in both America and Britain.

They would actually drive something like that down the highway on the show.
