Escaped Military Blimp Lands Near School in Pennsylvania
Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled from the Air National Guard base in Atlantic City, N.J, on October 28, after an unmanned military surveillance blimp broke loose from its moorings at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The 243-foot-long helium filled blimp broke free from its mooring at approximately midday on Wednesday, before drifting to to an altitude of 16,000 feet, according to reports.
