  1. This blimp approach would be great for low cost internet access for wide areas of sparsely populated regions!

    1. After WWII the US used surplus bombers as TV broadcasters in this way! (I suppose only until they could get a broadcasting tower built.)

    2. WOW VERY DANGEROUS SIR! 😠 😠BUT THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇮🇳🤗 , WE NEVER SCAM! WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳

  2. blimp would be ideal for spreading bio weapons over a country. why china used ballons to learn air currents “jet streams” to try and be rdy to spread a bio weapon

    1. how do you expect something that big and slow moving to penetrate airspace defended by stealth fighters?

    2. no, they didn’t need balloons to find jet streams, that is all public information. And jet streams move constantly; finding out where they are today doesn’t tell you where they’ll be next week.

  3. As a result of this report, Goodyear has now mounted nuclear ICBM’s on all their blimps in the event of a dogfight. 😎

    1. can you imagine… it’s balloons that will detect stealth plaines and not radar? lol it cant be that easy can’t it? hope not

    2. Met Life has installed high powered lasors in Snoopy’s eyes to wing-man the Good-Year ship!

  4. Using a spy satellite to spy on a spy blimp sounds like cheating, no?

    Anyway…
    “Don’t help those that would not help you.”
    The Gospel of Thomas Doubting 1:3

    1. Cutting edge for spying yes. Satellites can only intercept communication for brief periods of time as it orbits the earth. Blimps can hover and intercept for a longer period of time.

    2. @Juan C it depends. Fall out is a concern and the attitude makes it weirder than you’d think.

  5. Why is it when they find something they always say..WELL I BELIEVE ITS THIS OR I BELIEVE ITS THAT..

  6. Oh they are easy gas lighters.

  7. It’s not about how fast they fly.Were not able to pick it up with our satellites thermal imaging when they take off.And it’s much harder to see with radar.
