The last time I was near Baltimore, I saw one of those things and it gave me the creeps.
What really stuck with me was the way the locals blithely accepted it, like "Oh, those are always up there".

- khm 9y agoIt's because we know more about it than you. That blimp you saw wasn't NSA; it was JLENS, which the article mentions but leaves eerily vague. JLENS didn't have creepy shit on it. It was a test platform to scan for ocean-based missile launches. And there were a ton of people who freaked out about it, mostly the crowd who take dick pills because they think fluoridated water is a government conspiracy to chemically castrate the populace. Keep in mind that someone has to design, build, operate, and manage this shit. In the JLENS case, it was run out of nearby ARL, by actual human beings you can talk to. Or, you know, just cruise through town and deride the locals. Fuck 'em, am I right?
