plog (what we ponder)
star wars is now!

 

 

This is the sea-based, x-band radar station. It is supposed to be based in Adak, Alaska, but for some reason it seems to be hanging out a lot in Pearl Harbor. When this thing first sailed into town, it turned a lot of heads and made the local papers. But after a year or so, nobody seems to pay it any mind. But that doesn't stop us from wondering what this thing is really capable of and why it seems to be in Hawaii more than Alaska. We are pretty sure when it's running, it is probably not that safe to be near, but then again, the military won't go into much detail. Some have even joked that it's a weather machine. I'm not sure we'd go that far, but who can really tell when it comes to national security? No matter what it does, it does seem a little odd that it has so much downtime.
