It seems that Boeing has solved the problem, or
Martin-Marietta.
There is a rumour mind you going around about the
Nautilus... a large triangular shaped craft that moves
rather slowly and noisely.  An awful lot of people in
Seattle have seen it a few times.  The best description I've
heard of was it was flat black, had a large bubble turret
underneath that was lit up and corner marker lights.  This
was even reported twice in our local papers up here, but for
intents and purposes a big mystery.
I find it interesting to look into, but as always I never
get to see any of these things.
