Aside from the positive implications of this vehicle...

Whoever did this wants to scare the bejeezus out of whole populations and jam up the police phone lines.

No, it's part of the future we would have had if Howard Hughes hadn't blow up the Hindenberg.

I've been waiting forever for someone to try making passenger blimps again. Like the one featured in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade. Maybe some day if the world becomes more peaceful (yeah, right) these darned things will be practical again.

I watched Ancient Aliens and the UFO files. If people want to see UFOs, they will, whether a UFO-shaped blimp is in the sky or not :)
Of all the things I've lost,
I think I miss my mind the most.

Imagine what that thing will look like when someone bounces a green laser off of it.

Huh... something familiar about this flying cargo ship...

I was thinking "Flight of the Navigator"

Thanks for robbing me of the last two hours of my life, Tim. And Google. And YouTube.

No, really, thank you. That movie has aged very well. :)

Well except for the opening scene and a couple other scenes that were very corny.
