| Here's a head-turner for a security-nervous city: A large white object was spotted in the skies above the nation's capital in the predawn hours Wednesday. Pentagon police said the Defense Department is testing a security blimp - fully equipped with surveillance cameras. The white blimp was spotted early Wednesday morning hovering at various times over the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. The device is expected to remain in the skies until tomorrow, authorities said. |

| #5 Just thinking, do you realize a decent blimp carrier would need to be 9 km in length? I mean just to get a good alpha blimp strike going from the deck. |

| #1 Phoenix has better UFOs than they do. It got a fully illuminated "V"-wing aircraft hovering over it for the better part of an hour, with some people videotaping it straight up a couple hundred feet over their houses, and it was maybe three days before the government insisted it hadn't happened and nobody had seen anything, releasing a panoramic view of the city at night, with a "See! See! No UFO there!" statement, which impressed no one but the local TV news, who dutifully ran with it. I figure it was a Groom Lake (something else that does not exist, unless you drive out there) plane that had a "blow out" of something or other. |
