  No explosion at sea level is going to lift a multi ton deck span off its foundation when that deck is 30+ feet above the water.

  It is pretty darn interesting how the form factor of the Wave Glider mentioned in the article intuitively looks like it could be an earlier or otherwise modified version of this boat found near Sevastopol.

  My favorite speculative analytic photo is the one that includes a "Starlink Antenna??" label [1] and it's kinda fun to speculate about whether Elon Musk's ambitions have entered the Project Azorian-style covert operations arena. And I mean, in some ways why wouldn't they, it's Elon after all.

  (I also really want to see more gear from this category of "inadvertent catalog-ready photos of stuff that was supposed to be secret")
