No, it’s some sort of sensor.

Probably a ground radar for sighting vehicles and they are using traffic to practice

I would guess it's simply a precision guided shell, similar to the existing Excalibur program -

Could it be testing automatic target recognition using the passing cars?

Looks like RAP(rocket assisted projectile).

Could be but I'm going with the BST...(bullet shaped thing)

Nothing to worry about. It’s just ACME Corporation making another delivery to one of their best customers, Wile E. Coyote.

Was the truck being driven by Trashcan man from The Stand?

Feds are probably training ISIS and other terrorists to attack targets in the US (airlines) and blame the attack on the TP.

Excellent!

[Jewbacca]

Maybe. I’d have to see what else it out there -— e.g., an active radar or microwave source.

I’d also want to know which way was “front” — nose or side.

It just looks an awful lot like things I’ve seen on ground vehicles used to target tanks and the like.

Who are they?

Never heard of it/them.

Could be since I haven’t been to a movie n almost 60 years.

It's the number one comedy on TV in both America and Britain.

They would actually drive something like that down the highway on the show.
