Aero Truck Bed Cover Spotted in The "Wild"

Wild is quoted, because I don't know if being on a NASA center counts as "the wild". It was a small, black, Toyota pickup with a clear (Lexan? Plexi? Other?) exterior. It appeared to have a frame that was welded together, and the whole thing was ratchet strapped to the bed. I tried to get a picture, but it's worse looking than those old pictures of sasquach.

Anyone know of a guy in Huntsville Alabama with access to the Marshall Space Flight Center that has been dabbling in aerodynamics (other than me and my friends)?

It looks like a thumbnail because I cropped it so you could have some hope of seeing it. Sorry, I have a not so good cell phone camera and I am not all that quick with it!

Bob does live here. I don't think he has a truck (99.9% sure) but one of his friends does... I will have to see if he knows anything...
