JLENS Spy Blimp on the Ground After Journey Over Pennsylvania
http://www.defensenews.com/story/de...vania/74757686/
The blimp's trip over Pennsylvania was not without incident as it dragged its tether – several thousand feet of liquid crystal polymer-based fiber called Vectran – and caused several large power outages by hitting power lines. At one point, the blimp reached a height of 15,000 feet, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spokesman Navy Capt. Scott Miller said.
Two armed F-16 fighter jets from Atlantic City, New Jersey, trailed the blimp into Pennsylvania, Kucharek said. Miller said at no point did NORAD think about shooting the blimp down.
