So a U.S. surveillance blimp has decided to go for 'walkies' and has left the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland and is currently descending in the Pennsylvania countryside.

Used currently to co-ordinate air defense in the D.C. area NORAD is trying to track the blimp in order to vector recovery teams to the area when it finally touches down.

Dragging its steel mooring line behind it, several power outages have been caused as the line slices through power lines or shorts them out.

Thought to contain a ton of 'spooky' intel gathering gear, the government is likely sweating bullets if the locals get to it first, crack open the payload pods, and take pictures of the enclosed gear.

Since it's an 'air defense' asset, one can assume radar and commo gear to transmit signals. People however will want to see if it's carrying other info gathering toys like Stingray cellphone trapping devices. This way the conspiracy folks will have another 'a-ha' moment about how the government is spying on you. Spoiler alert? They are. So is big business. Both of them are engaged in various data mining programs, but with different goals for manipulation of the data recorded.

Once the blimp lands, you will have a very small window to crack that sucker open before cops and the military close the scene down and bring in the flatbed trucks to haul it away and write the checks to cover the damage.

Kindly enjoin a thread on this already in progress:
