Wow... Nice arc on that one... Still can't figure out the bearing, though... :)

Looks to me to be headed towards Spring Green but that could just be the angle that I'm looking at it from.

Oh No.... not again!

I'm runnning out of provisions in the bomb shelter. Did not even get to restock between bombing runs.

I did get some new radar installed though, this one was launched with such force and magnitude, it is not showing on the radar screen.

Take cover everyone........ looks like it is going to be a long summer :)

I've got the shelter restocked for an extended stay if necessary. Radar scope is on and tracking. Gotta watch those military grade rubberbands.....they just don't stretch like they used to. :D

Too much atmospheric interference in my skies to get a bearing from here Steve, but will continue to check.

Just did a check to see it's location...those new rubber bands sent that puppy sizzling right into the stratosphere and on into the mesosphere....nothing but a streak across the skyline.

Think maybe I stretched it too far back....

You guys wanna warn me if you point that thing in the direction of Minnesota? I want to make sure I get down before it passes overhead on it's way to its destination.

I can see it now. I'm just minding my own business. Dropping out of the blue is some huge turning blank or a four-jaw chuck wrapped in a pink thong. It hits me in the back of the head and drops to my feet. I look around wondering what that tap was and realize you guys were shooting with worn out rubber bands and dropped the projectile short of its target. :D

Enjoy your "projectile", Stu.

Aww man, we was all cloudy and rainy.

Missed it on it's west bound journey, or did you send it via the polar route?
