Does anyone know a link to view any actual pictures or videos of the black noiseless blimps being reported? They are suppose to be bigger than football fields, completely silent, float close to 100 feet from ground, yet can take off at jet speed.

Never heard of them.

That just seems a bit ridiculous, I do not think a blimp can take off at jet speeds, And in any case why?

Maybe because it's not really a blimp. They just look like one. I haven't heard of them though.

Why would a blimp need to go over the speed of a jet? Last time I checked they were only used for advertising.

I also found this!


In the September 1999 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine there
is an article entitled "Skunk Works Magic," written by Jim
Wilson. The article is basically a history of the famed Skunk
Works founded by aircraft designer Kelly Johnson, and describes
many of the cutting edge aircraft produced there.

However, towards the end of the article, in a paragraph entitled
"Future Planes" there is a description of a secret aircraft
called the stealth blimp. I will quote the article here:

"Tales of mystery craft continue. There have been scores of
sightings of a 1000 ft. long stealth blimp that supposedly
carries a massive phased array radar. The craft is said to
disguise itself by using "optical stealth" technology that
creates an image of a floating star field."

An accompanying illustration shows a large, triangular black
craft, thin in profile, that looks nothing like the conventional
blimps we are used to.

If this aircraft is genuine, then I would assume it is fairly
slow moving and silent, and may be responsible for many UFO
reports concerning unknown triangular black craft. I have read a
number of reports recently on this list that would match its
description. I am in no way attempting to say that this vehicle
accounts for all those sightings, but there is a good chance it
may have been the cause of several of them. An interesting
possibility to ponder in any case.

Do a google search for "black blimp ufo" or something like that. There are reports from all over the USA of black, silent, enormous blimps floating around in the night, bigger then 3 football fields, and can take off jet speed and maneuver with technology that man does not have.

If they are black, and people see them at night, then how do they know if they are there?

There are lights on them

just one example

This it?



Becuase to me that looks a lot like the bottom of a B2 Spirit stealth fighter.

I have seen speculation that the large flying triangle UFOs that are often reported may be these stealth blimps.

Unlike the classic UFO types, the descriptions of these objects by witnesses is fairly consistant, (large, one light at each point and a red one in the center), they fly low, and seem to be much more prone to mass sightings.

Some of the arguments against these things being military vehicles are they are seen over populated areas far from military installations, in plain view (you would think the military would want to hide them). They seem capable of flight manuveurs that should be impossible, and these triangles have been reported for decades

You know...a blimp isn't the first thing that jumps to mind when you hear the word stealth.

I just like the idea of a "stealth blimp"... The two words just don't fit together to me.

The only thing I can think of that comes close to matching your description would be some secret aircraft that uses the ground effect to carry heavy payloads. It is rumored that the US military has wanted an troop carrier aircraft of this type for sometime. Such an aircraft would fly low to the ground, be extremely large, and most likely incorporate stealth technology. Check out this link, the boeing concept does have a somewhat "blimp" like fuselage (scroll down towards the bottom)

Here's an interesting article from Space.com on the black triangles.



Sounds like these things are a "black project" that has been around for awhile.

Blimps are back -- at least a little.

Later this month, the Air Force is due to test out in Texas a V-shaped, 175 foot-long, helium filled airship. The goal, according to Aviation Week: to put together a "near-space maneuvering vehicle," operating more than 100,000 feet up, that can relay messages and spy on enemies.

It's one for the first times since the 60's that Americans has aggressive tried to exploited that region of the skies, Col. Kent Traylor, vice commander of the U.S. Air Force's Space Warfare Center, tells the magazine.

But it's not the only lighter-than-air craft being designed by the U.S. military. By the end of the year, the Missile Defense Agency is supposed to pick a contractor for its High Altitude Airship -- a solar-powered zeppelin that'll track missiles from 65,000 feet.

'Incredible New Lockheed Martin Patents Shed Light on a Blimp-Type Craft, a Possible Follow-On to the Dark Star UAV, and Stealth Cruise Missiles:

Lockheed Martin Palmdale continues to demonstrate an extraordinary interest in lighter-than-air vehicles as evidenced by three new patents dating from September, October, and November of 2001. The vehicles depicted are substantially similar to that shown in the patent issued 11 January 2000, described below. These patents may represent the previously unclassified lighter-than-air freighter that the Skunks were reported to be working on in the 25 August 1999 issue of Flight International. Such a vehicle may account for sightings of a huge blimp-like craft over the Antelope Valley, California area, the Skunk Works' backyard.

Lockheed Martin submitted the following drawings with a patent application for a "propulsion system for a semi-buoyant vehicle with an aerodynamic [sic]" on 21 December 1999 and the application was granted on 13 November 2001. The vehicle looks like a bug-eyed monster with propellers'

'The sighting of an unidentified and unrecognizable aircraft of tremendous size, noted by several witnesses to be approximately the size of a football field, began on January 4, 2000, around 10:30pm over Lake Forest, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The witness was outside his home when he saw a triangular-shaped UFO, “much bigger than a Boeing 747”, heading over him from the northeast'

For once, something really interesting. The concept is cool, I just wonder about a viable propulsion system and sustainable lift if they are transporting any substantial weight. I guess that would be classified as of yet.

Ummm....I guess that you want us to believe that a Col. of the U.S. Air Force can't speak a legible sentence?

These sightings seem to be more and more common. Thanks for the link http://dbarkertv.com/UPDATE.htm

sorta looks like it. but definitely not as triangular. the pic is almost a perfect one, except that bottom part
