Holden Blimp.

[Turblue]

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No. It was a Holden Blimp.!!!!

I have been told about this, and I saw it fly over my home. It has a giant sceen on it. I could only see the bottom of the screen. It was too dark to take a picture sorry.

[MatsHolden]

lol yeh I read about this... I think it must be what Holden are referring to on their site... 'Holden will be unveiling a new addition to the Holden family soon... Come back and see what all the excitement is about." lol

[blk_tyga]

yeh i saw it 2day when i picked up my siblings from school... da screen was useless coz it was all blacked out, took a pic from my fone, cant say it turned out well tho

[PaulyJ]

Saw it tonight flying over Caulfield
Screen was facing the other way.

Holden's PR people have a blurb about it here (http://media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewpressreldetail.do?domain=20&docid=27733).

Yeah it was snapped down here somewhere on it's way to Sydney, was even in the local paper :p

"UFO Sighted over Yass", "residents report seeing large odd-shaped ballon in sky"

[MatsHolden]

"UFO Sighted over Yass", "residents report seeing large odd-shaped ballon in sky"

haha yeh that's what happend in Melbourne a few years ago now when the Whitmans blimp was around, people reporting a glowing yellow disc haha. Must admit it did look pretty strange on the horizon.

[MatsHolden]

It is at Oran Park for the V8 Supercars, Channel 10 are using it for aerial shots.

[btm]

does anyone know how fast it can fly/move?

or would they dismantle it to transport it...?

[jerrypufflewell]

Well they obviously didn't dismantle it on this trip :p

As a promotional tool I don't see why you would, and from the construction vid would prolly be more trouble than it's worth...

[corsa2nv]

lmao 2 nights i saw it flying around hoxton park, and me and a mate thought it was a UFO lmao

I also used to go to UWS but now transferred to UTS but i knew that the UWS campus used to be a Navy Base. AAMI do their driving courses on the old existing runways / plane carparks and there is a Blimp hanger over there. Maybe thats where they house it while in the Sydney region......
