Here’s the CNN story. The thing is described by an eyewitness as a plain white blimp, with no insignia or other markings at all. I don’t really have enormous problems with surveillance cameras, in general. (Though one should be very careful with what happens to the data — preferably destroy it after a short time.) I do, however, find it mildly spooky that the US Military is operating a surveillance blimp over our nation’s capital.

I believe that’s MPRG research at work (funded through Raytheon).
