I found out what it really was and then promptly forgot it. It's
built on a Ford F350 chassis, I think. I have no idea what it was
doing in that parking lot in Mesquite, though.
Coincidentally, there was a show on a PBS station a few nights ago featuring
that very vehicle. It's a tornado chase rig, designed to withstand a direct
hit from these types of storms. I'm sorry I don't recall exactly which/where
I saw this, but I'm hoping another Lister also saw it.
It does look like something you'd expect to see parked near Roswell or in
Vegas.
