JLENS blimp has come free of its tether at APG, now floating over Pennsylvania; fighter jets monitoring | 28 Oct 2015 | One of the two military surveillance blimps that has been watching the East Coast from Maryland has broken free of its mooring at Aberdeen Proving Ground and is now drifting over Pennsylvania, authorities said. Two F-16 fighter jets from an Air National Guard base in Atlantic City, N.J., are monitoring the unmanned aircraft, and the North American Aerospace Defense Command is working with the Federal Aviation Administration “to ensure air traffic safety,” a spokesman said. The blimp is drifting at an altitude of 16,000 feet. The 243-foot-long, helium-filled JLENS aerostat detached from its mooring at the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground at about 11:54 a.m. Wednesday, a spokeswoman for the Army installation said. It was trailing approximately 6,700 feet of cable.
