Thanks for the correction, but still the dishes can get pretty heavy, especially some of the old original ones at that size and larger, and there's paranoia about damaging the more sensitive parts when they're shipped. Not like I'm 100% sold on it being this, but I don't see enough to just automatically dismiss it.

That is a low-boy trailer with it's back axle down it is not going 70 mph. That load is heavy there are 26 tires on 7 axles on the ground that is 2 axle more than a normal Semi.
Anything that shape is a security risk, no matter how mundane.

Police rarely escort any load that is not a security risk or traffic needs stopped (which could be the case), pilot cars handle that job.
That depends on how obsessed the director is with accuracy. Some want REAL weight.

Does it have to be carrying something that heavy? I've seen those things used for things that weigh less.

dont you think if it was a prop or sign it wouldnt be so heavy as requiring a special vehicle to carry it.

Has anyone thought to take the photos to local news agencies or ask the police dept that was providing escort about what they were doing? Did the photographer noticed what trucking company was doing the hauling? How about applying for a copy of the dispatch records for the day under the FOIA if the dept isn't willing to state what they were doing? If as some believe it couldn't be a classified cargo, there should be no problem finding out what it was or who it belonged too.
.... RiiiiGHT.... Like a googlepleXaire driving ford pintos with a full tank of gas just for the hell of it.... But we could just fly it over your head in a BIGGER cloacked MOTHER-SHIP.... Wow arn't U a ismart wit one

There are plenty of explanations of what it was and many have been suggested.
For those saying they would not transport super secret stuff this way Why?
If you were passed by a Grey driving a car would you suddenly say 'I just saw a grey driving a car' or convince yourself that you just saw someone dressed as a Grey driving a car?
If you maintained that it was a Grey who would believe you? How long before driver tiredness or hoax was directed at you. Would you risk being known as the person who sees's Greys driving Fords?
Do U like Organic Pistacios?

There is also Area 51 just down the road - coincidentally, the road and direction they were headed in also leads to Area 51. All I'm saying is this: I've been a daylight, up-close witness of these things (10's of thousands of others also saw the same object as I did - at the same time by the way) and it WAS indeed 'saucer-shaped'. So to try and invalidate a sighting just because it's 'saucer-shaped' is sheer stupidity - as most of these objects ARE saucer-shaped.
