Big, Round, White, Floating Ball...

Kay, I saw this the other day when I was driving from Kunia back towards town. My gf also saw it, and when we were going to dinner tonight, we saw it again.

What is that huge, white, ball out in the water at Pearl Harbor???

I was @ Hickam while they were towing that thing in. Can't believe you only noticed it now. It's been here for a while.

I noticed it before. but only last night me and my gf actually brought it up. That's what we thought it was. a missle detector or something like that. crazy. looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

I'm glad they moved it. Everyone and their cousin wants to see it...........like the State Department of Health, the EPA, the Navy safety people, the Navy environmental people.

Hell those guys make up any kind of excuse to get up close.

All it is is a drilling platform (and a small one at that) with a radar on it.

It's been here since January. They left a couple of weeks ago but had to come back.

I got to tour it. Basically we'll park it somewhere between Alaska and Korea and let it sit. Then if Korea throws anything larger than a football our way that thing will tell us.
