This happened not too far from where I live.  It came down on it's own and took out power lines to 20,000 oeople.

Can you imagine looking up and seeing that thing coming towards you?

The article I read said they break loose all the time over in the far east where they are in use in the war there.

@LTT1 - They are great pictures.  Did you take them?

[LTT1]

@Winkk  No, thank you, we don't live there. Our grandchildren, DD and her DH live there.  

These pictures were either taken by military or by individuals.

Here is a video taken by a student during class as the blimp hovered overhead... 20,000 without power:

The balloon left behind in the Edgewood area of Aberdeen Proving Ground was taken down as soon as the military realized there was a problem, Kucharek said. The surveillance will remained grounded amid the investigation into the untethering of the first blimp, which occurred around noon Wednesday.

The two-balloon system, known as JLENS, was launched over Maryland in December as part of a three-year test. The balloons are supposed to stay anchored to the ground by 10,000-foot cables, but authorities said one of the pair came unhitched around noon and floated toward Pennsylvania.
