video: UFO at Rhode Island Country Club?
Friday, June 14, 2013
Now that we have your attention with the headline, let us explain.
There has not been a UFO sighting at Rhode Island Country Club so the good people of Barrington can rest comfortably tonight. However, in less than two weeks, there will be a strange craft hovering over the fairways of the golf course that many people may want to see.
You may or may not have seen Oakley's "Hovercraft" driven by PGA Tour star Bubba Watson. It is a vehicle that litterally hovers just inches above the ground and can travel over land or water. Along with the pictures of it in this story, you can watch a youtube video of it right here that has literally gone viral since it was first released.
