I just saw a blimp in the sky the other day and was surprised to see one, I didn't think they still fly them around. [/quote] Not sure where they would fly a drone out of to get in this area. Suppose its possible, more likely that a local popped it a few times. It wasn't that high and the target was huge. Small game season just opened up here so plenty of guys just hanging out with their .22s and shotguns just looking for something to shoot at. I think it was most likely a local shot the thing down, and good on them. [/quote]

Tried to drive up to get a better look at the thing and they have security everywhere. Talked to the guy that owns the land (friend of a friend) it crashed on, and even he's not allowed to drive his four wheeler anywhere close.
Yeah, it was shot down - officially by PA state troopers. That's not the local talk though. Damn thing was dragging its tether and knocking power lines out. Most likely a local did it, but nobody stupid enough to admit it, so troopers are taking the heat from the fed for shooting it down.
Got a cruddy picture in the local paper, and nobody can get close enough to take any better ones.
That's pretty much all I got, but will answer any questions I can.
