If this was a blimp it wasflying so low it must havecrashed into hill where itdisappeared OR was a very largeand GLOWING! Are there anyblimps out there glowing? My view was limited, after fiveseconds it was in the treesappearing to go along the roadbehind house. The land behindthe road rises about 100 feet. We think the UFO was on this side of the ridge, else it had to be very large BUT it seemed to be very close, about 1000 feet.
