Yes. We could have at least destroyed it with a missile.

It was a gift from Barry.

Aparrantly, there is a “sub” portion that is tethered to the bottom of the Wave Glider. It carries a sensor array and secondary propulsion. The array collects information which is broadcast to a home station. Looks like that part is missing from this salvaged Glider, if it was there to begin with.

This is Boeing’s answer to the 737 Max?

I’d sure be careful approaching such a craft just for that reason...booby traps.

Paranoid much?

I'm surprised someone on Tiree didn't hide it. I think this boat is coveted by a man from Mull, and if it comes up missing, look for suspects on Coll.
