As reported by Vice , an anonymous Reddit post featuring a gigantic British AMES Type 84 radar unit led users on a quest to unmask the mysterious person who had bought it and why.
“Help!” the user wrote in his anonymous Reddit post, with a photo of the Cold War behemoth. “I want to bring this back to life.”
Later, when someone asked the original poster what they wanted to do with the huge piece of junk, the user replied, “Because I got convinced it might be fun to use it to try and find UFOs .”
After an intense search, users of the forum found that the person responsible was precisely William Sachiti, a businessman who founded the anonymous delivery company Kar-go.
Why did you buy it?
After being found out, Sachiti told the outlet that he was “just kidding” when he said he wanted to use the machine, which was previously used by the British Air Force to detect enemy ships and weapons, to hunt down aliens .
“It’s not up to me to decide what is the best use in the modern world,” he said. “As long as it doesn’t do damage and isn’t intrusive… I have the technology… let’s give it a life.”
What he does point out is that this radar only came when he bought a base for his company. “Because no one was here for a while,” Sachiti said, “it was slowly starting to degrade. And for me, every time I looked at it, I just thought, ‘something has to be done.'”
