ufo?

holden airshipSo, I'm sitting on my little red sofa, minding my own business, watching House...

And from the sofa I can see straight into my bedroom and out the bedroom window since I don't keep the curtains closed once the sun goes down.

Then suddenly I happen to see something out of the corner of my eye, something big and glowing with flashy lights. So I turned my head to look, thinking it was just another airplane, since they go over a lot... but my brain just wouldn't make sense of what I was seeing... it was all oval and had blue flashy lights on it and for a split second my brain went "UFO!!!"

It actually took a couple of seconds for me to realise what it actually was... the Holden Airship...

Yep, 54 metres worth of flying advertising with a 914 inch screen and filled with nearly 5 million litres of helium... and it scared the crap out of me for a couple of seconds...

After House was over I took a look outside, and it was doing slow circles over on the east side of the building... kind of groovy actually... all silent and glowing with the bigass screen flashing various things on it...

I wonder if the police or the powers that be will be getting a bunch of UFO calls tonight though... wouldn't surprise me...

I saw that in Sydney not so long ago. I wonder if they fly it around the country or dismantle it first. Lots of squeaky voices if they let out all that helium!
