Stealth Blimp

The Stealth Blimp is believed to be an exotic propulsion type airship operated by the government of the United States. Very little is known about this type of aircraft but it is known that Lockheed Corporation has had a design for a stealth blimp type of craft from 1982.
Sightings
California Sightings
In the late eighties there were various sightings of a very large completely silent flying wing.
America West Airlines Flight 564 sighting
At approximately 10:30 p.m. on May 25, 1995, Capt. Gene Tollefson and First Officer John J. Waller, piloting America West Airlines Flight 564 from Tampa, Florida, to Las Vegas, Nevada saw a vast dark wingless object with a row of bright white lights near Tucumcari, New Mexico. The silhouette of this object was only visible when lit by nearby flashes of a thunderstorm. The pilots immediately contacted the Albuquerque FAA Air Route Traffic Control Center in an attempt to identify the object. The pilots describe the object to the control center as being over 400 ft long. The entire incident was recorded by the FAA. (follow the reference link below to hear the tape).
Arizona Lights Sighting
On March 13, 1997 thousands of people saw a V formation of lights hover over Phoenix and many other parts of Arizona. At approx. 8:16 p.m. a series of reddish lights were reported by a former police officer and his family in Paulden, AZ. One minute later some residents in Prescott, Az reported seeing a strange object with a triangular array of lights. Other reports came in from Chino, Valley, Tempe, Glendale, Phoenix, Tucson and Kingman, AZ.
The Lebanon, Illinois Sighting
At approximately 4:00 a.m. on January 5, 2000, a man reported seeing a "flying house" with many bright white lights around its edges and one red light in the center in the night sky while driving home. He reported that he had seen the flying object heading from northeast to southwest. The Lebanon police department was told to keep an eye out for the object. Then at approx. 4:10 a.m. a Lebanon officer called in a report claiming that he had seen "a massive elongated triangle." It was then that the object turned towards Shiloh where another officer reported seeing a large dark "arrowhead" moving at a slow pace in the night sky. A Millstadt officer sees a low flying (500'-1100') "fat arrowhead" shortly after the Shiloh officer. The officer took a picture of it with his Polaroid camera but later on the pictures did not come out as well as the officer had hoped so he rushed back to the station and made a report of the sighting along with sketches. He reported that the object had changed its course slightly and was moving northwest towards Dupo. At 6:50 a.m. a schoolteacher in Centreville, Illinois reported seeing an arrowhead shaped craft while he was driving to work. Overall there were four reports from police officers and about a dozen reports from others during that night.
The Guernsey, United Kingdom Sighting
On April 23, 2007, two experienced airline pilots on separate flights saw an object up to a mile wide off the coast of Alderney. Captain Ray Bowyer of Aurigny Air Services said "It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area. It was 2,000 ft up and stationary. At first, I thought it was the size of a 737. But it must have been much bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as much as a mile wide." The second report came from a Blue Islands pilot
The Stephenville Texas Sighting
On January 8, 2008 residents of Stephenville, Texas and others including a former air traffic controller, constable, chief of police, and a pilot reported seeing a large object hovering about 300 feet over the ground. Some eyewitness accounts claim that the object was at least one mile long and a half-mile wide, but all maintain it was very large, very quiet, and that the strobing light configurations were highly unusual for a conventional aircraft.
One viewer stated as to having seen military jets fly past this object. What sets this incident apart from the other sightings is that the FAA provided data for 2.8 million radar returns collected during the event that correlate directly with eyewitness accounts.
