That's why I always carry a 12 guage when I'm out observing. If it's geese, we've got dinner. If it's a spying blimp, it's on the ground and no longer a threat! ;) Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:
Here'a a firm that specializes in military versions, much larger volumes for carrying a live crew:

Notice that on the Galaxy site, they advertize special paint jobs that render the airship almost invisible from the ground.
I'm almost convinced that what I saw were ducks, no airship could duplicate what I saw (thanks, Dave!). But perhaps the blimp explanation could explain other's sightings. As to whom may be the owners of those airships, who knows? The DEA? Private security contractors? Industrial espionage? Nosy, techie neighbors? The Adolph Coors Company? The Gnomes of Zurich?
