F-16’s are flying around it. Why not helicopters? "It is, according to the email, “carrying defense equipment,” although it wasn’t immediately clear what type of equipment that might be."
i.e., because getting away from it fast is... important...

LOL. I was thinking that someone might shoot it down with their rifle before the F-16’s get to it. Haha

We watched these things all summer. We were on the bay
Last week we were wondering where the tether
Actually was. How we would like to see how it was
Tethered. Could someone have released it?

Tonight's feature in Monster Chiller Horror Theater is
The Runaway Power-Sucking Terror Blimp That Attacked Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania
To: Buckeye McFrog
“Dragging a 5,000-foot-long chain, the blimp-like balloon broke free from its base at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland”
I imagine that did some damage as it drifted over the countryside. Lucky it didn’t bring down some of the high tension lines.
Think of the insurance company calls. hello, my house was just totaled from a cable being dragged along by a runaway blimp. *click* Hello?
