Down here in Brownsville And just noticed this blimp in the sky today...now the deal is it doesn't really have anything on it as far as I can see so was wondering if it's like the surveillance blimps the military uses on the bases over seas. ? Figured it would make sense with the crazy amount of sensor arrays those things have

They know how many are crossing but fail to act in the roll of enforcement.

I live about a mile from the RioGrande.Between here and Rio Grande city there are 5 blimps in the air all the time.They keep them tethered and bring them down when it gets to windy.They have surveillance cameras on them that are monitored at their headquarters. Pretty interesting. Dave Harmon
