AlexLah Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Dear all very well respected members of this virtual community. This morning around 10:30-10:40 I was looking out of the window of my new place and spotted something odd. Something was moving slowly above BKK sky. Being trained in aircraft recognition, I new something was different here. The object was sort of hoovering and slowly moving East, Northeast. Took my camera and made a few snaps. Now I know that there is some company that does aerial photography in Thailand but they use a small air balloon/blimp and the max height is just 150 meters. http://www.photocomasia.com/aerial.htm Has anybody else seen this, this morning? 400% enlarged view: I will call the above mentioned company tommorow to find out if they did anything this morning so will let you know. For now I am curious if anybody else have noticed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 .. The object was sort of hoovering and slowly moving East, Northeast. Going to go out on a limb here, might it just be a cloud, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The object was sort of hoovering and slowly moving East, Northeast. Now why the hel_l would it be pushing the vacuum cleaner around? I know the Bangkok air quality isn't always what it could be so maybe the BMA is trying to clean up it's act. Maybe that or maybe it's Abhisit's promised clean up of Thai politics but I think he'll need a bigger dust bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLah Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yeah so? It is still a not identified object. I think it is a blimp but I checked with the company but they said it was not theirs. Someone mentioned advertising blimp and will be up in a few months. You have any source for that? Anyway, I have something even more interesting while I looked down a few days ago. Yes also have snaps of that! I might start another fred for that as the information that I have on that is mindboggling.............. You might wanna have a strong drink near ya........ More news as it breaks!

stub Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 http://www.photocomasia.com/aerial.htmHas anybody else seen this, this morning? There is a new blimp in town - went past my condo window a few days ago, maybe 300 meters away. Its a small one, so looks set for advertising or possibly a tourist thing rather than anything serious. Hmm... Thailand might be an excellent place for Blimp transport. So much rural population traveling around by long bus rides but spread out too much to make airports viable. Stick a few masts in Sisaket, Buriram, Nong Khai etc. and you might have a viable service if you could keep the price down to 500 Baht to Sisaket for example.

Ok all, As I am on dial up at the moment and the original pic is about 15 MB, I resized it a bit but still good enough too see how big this thing was. I guesstimate that the distance from where I stay and the thing was is about 15-20 KM. Now think of an airplane in the sky at 10KM, how big do they appear? This thing is twice the distance and looks a bit bigger then an airplane at half the distance. Think of it. And I would like to see some kind of newsarticle or website of this soon to come advertisement blimp. Here the pic. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should work at the intelligence agency.............. I hoovered for a while and then moved from East to North, again I say most likely a blimp looking at the pic but I have not found any news report that some advertisement company is soon starting "Blimping? above BKK.
