I agree completely, but when their ‘object’ was believed to be lost in our waters, why didn’t BIOS inform Bermuda (Harbour) Radio and the Police immediately? A lost object in our waters becomes a potential navigational hazard. BIOS should be fined!

Isn’t it great when people don’t look at the time someone’s comment was posted and then look at the time an update was posted when they leave their own comment.

Another report said that it did have ID on it but the photo didn’t show them. BIOS said they thought it had been lost at the bottom of the ocean. Clearly it wouldn’t normally be a hazard to shipping floating around on the surface. I don’t think it’d be practical for BIOS to tell every fisherman about every thing they deploy in the ocean. It certainly doesn’t happen in the US or UK. The bright orange color scheme might be a clue as to its non-sinister purpose (at least in this application). The fact that it’s upside down may also be a clue to the problem. Maybe it got attacked by a shark and lost comms or control when it was flipped over.

A vantage point striking distance to US soil? An airstrip to refuel before bomb runs? Would never happen though, and like hell if America would let it happen.

no one wants to hit Bermuda. What would they gain?

Isn’t it great when people don’t read the articles then leave a comment.

Perhaps BIOS should be undertaking more awareness efforts before launching something like this again! It would be helpful not only in the event of a failure such as this, but also with any unexpected encounters with fishermen or recreational boaters. KEEP THE PUBLIC INFORMED!

Putting some form of I’d markings on it IE: BIOS etc. May have avoided all the hoopla..
