Yet another "what is it" thread

Nothing to do with "downeast" but it's a boat (I think)
Saw this off it the distance coming towards us during yesterday's charter.
Looked like we were being invaded by aliens !!!
The thing moves pretty fast.
Anyone else seen or heard about it ?

Wierd lookin thing. I just don't know where people get the balls (or stupidity) to invest in that sort of thing.. Whatever the hell it is.. My motto when buying anything whether it be a car, house, or boat is that you are "buying it for the next guy".. If you buy something as wierd as that good luck if you lose your shirt and need to sell it.

There's an article about it in the Boston Globe (not that I would want to plug that rag). It's completely solar powered and scheduled to gather scientific data on I think the gulf stream. It also sounds like theyre just touring it around for now. Too bad I missed it over the weekend, the kids would have loved seeing it.

I think its around until the 26th.....

And likewise I wish I knew it was there this weekend!
