Wilbur,

What's this?

Seem to be lots of pictures on the web, too.

What is that but a video taken from a boat that seems to be bobbing up and
down with waves coming towards it. There is absolutely no evidence of the
slightest bit of forward motion nor of any propelling device. The thing
could be anchored for all one can see of it. If any of this were real there
would exist hundreds of videos showing this craft and others moving directly
upwind against a marked course (maybe fixed buoys) taken from directly above
with plenty of wind vanes in plain view. There would be videos of an
impartial certification team that thoroughly checking out the vessel for
hidden propulsion methods such as batteries or other outside sources of
power. But such videos do not exist and will not exist unless they are
highly faked and unsubstantiated.
